Mats Näslund

Okay.

Um, I'm going with Mats Naslund.

Mats Naslund is number three.

Okay.

It took him 51.

[laughs] Former Vancouver Canuck legend, Mike Keane.

And then it would be like, Mats Naslund.

Did I ever tell you I u- used to work at the Sutton Place Hotel, which is now just, like, right across the street.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, define disaster.

But wasn't it a disaster in the sense that, you know, Mats Naslund, when you had him on, couldn't speak English properly?

Oh, my goodness, that wasn't the show.

That was Sunday Morning Sports Page with Elliotte Friedmann, who, by the way, will be in studio Thursday.

And, uh, there was this rookie Canadian in, uh, uh, early '80s.

He was, he was tearing up the NHL.

He's the leading scorer through one month, and we decided to try to get Mats Naslund on, on the show on a Sunday on CJD that, uh, aired, I think it was 10:00 to 12:00.

Hmm.

Mm-hmm.

I, I, um, actually thought that he would beat Mats Naslund and Kjell Dahlin's, uh, rookie record with 71 points.

Uh, do you think that impacted, uh, or, or that was impacted, he had 62, as you mentioned, um, uh, in, uh, 82 games.

But do you think that impacted the way that he didn't score more?

So, so I think o- overall, you know, the way that this team was constructed and the, the way that this team performed was above expectation.

And again, you know, 62 points as a rookie is already very good.

Um, and it doesn't necessarily put a ceiling or even, uh, dictate a floor because, you know, you mentioned Mats Naslund and Kjell Dahlin, and these are two players whose careers went completely different directions, right?

Yeah.
