Bure had his two highest scoring seasons in a high scoring era.
This just show how much it is impossible to make law about misinformation, most of them are a factually correct sentence like this.
60 is indeed higher than 59 and 58, even if it is scored during a 84 games season and 2000-2001 were really low scoring 82 games seasons.

But incredibly misleading.

Which is why he never touched Gretzky's single season totals
85 in 76 or 69 in 60 is not that far apart than 92 in 80 and 87 in 74, obviously lower, but you can stretch your finger and kind of touch it.

Lemieux scored 52 playoff goals during his first 60 playoff games (23-27 years old), 22-24 Gretzky (what look his best playoff goal scoring stretch) it was 47 goals in 58 game played, not sure we should act has if Lemieux peak was not touching Gretzky goal scoring here.


most gpg in a season since 1980, at least 40 games played

Gretzky: 1.18
Gretzky: 1.15
Lemieux: 1.15
Lemieux: 1.12
Hull: 1.10
Neely: 1.02
Mogilny: .99

If Lemieux play 83 games in 1993 and score 93 goals, does it change in any way how good he was at scoring goals ?

Bossy was a straight up assassin for goal scoring.

Bure was more explosive and made for highlight reels.

For goal scoring and goal scoring only, I think you have to go with bossy. He's in extremely rarified air for his ability to score goals.

1999-2000:
Bure: 59 goals
Nolan: 44 goals
Amonte 43 goals

2000-2001:
Bure: 59 goals
Sakic: 54 goals
Jagr: 52 goals


Those aren't his two highest scoring seasons.

I look at the stats and I don't make excuses.
