Nor does your baseless argument about Jagr producing more than Crosby. So let’s end it all together.When people talk about the dead puck era they are talking about the rather abrupt change from the high flying 80s to the defensive systems of the 90s. It's not just when the scoring was lowest. (Though I agree you can call others DPE 2.0 or what have you).
I think many would agree that the 1995 Devil win and the quite stark drop in goal scoring was the beginning with the defensive systems being utilized and especially stymieing of offense especially in the neutral zone. Some will push the date back to 1997, but never 2001. And for what it's worth the wikipedia on the NHL lists the dead puck era from lockout to lockout.
In any case, his argument that Jagr' was in a substantially higher scoring era doesn't seem to have much merit.
This isn’t a thread about who was better or when the dead puck era was.
