[Voight]

Lol lemieux was on pacd for 81 goals 189 points. Love bure... but this is not even close

Given Lemieux has 67 adjusted goals, Bure 64, its actually very close.

When goals are close you take the guy who also led the league in assists

Best overall season? Sure. But not when the poll is regarding goal scoring leaders.

Not in a poll debating who the better goal scorer was. If you wanna argue his goal totals didn't completely reflect his ability/prowess bc he was a dual threat, that's fine. But argue from a stylistic/eye test pov, not purely stats.

Until you realize Bure also had 9 empty net goals. The most ever in a season.

So? They don't ask how, they ask how many.
