Individual Landmarks
In the midst of all the action in our last game, two of our top-players reached and, (in one case surpassed), important individual landmarks. First was Geoff Courtnall who scored his 200th career goal, (which also happened to be one of his prettiest). Then came Pavel Bure, not only reaching, but shattering the hundred point plateau on his way to an impressive three point night.
(To help make the accomplishments special, we voluntarily cut two bonus checks, one to Geoff for two-thousand, and the other to Pasha for five grand).
What made the day even better, was a a report showing our top (five-man) unit held all five top positions for plus/minus rankings in the entire league. No one was better, and holding spots one through five was a source of tremendous satisfaction. Last but not least, the same report showed Pavel Bure leading the league with 429 shots, with the next closest being our own Jeff Brown at 290. These were exactly the results we loved to see.
