Meh, if I had that much power, Lionel Conacher would have dropped 10-15 spots
I was actually surprised to see Laperriere fall below Conacher, especially considering the gap between them in aggregate points after round 1. After Gerard shot up, I kind of expected the Laperriere, Pronovost, Conacher trio to slide down a spot each, but Pronovost and Conacher maintained their spots and Laperriere is the one who suffered.
Edit: remember that round 8 (where we added 36-40) was the round where 2 new candidates (Hod Stuart and Ching Johnson) finished 1-2. Laperriere was the highest ranked of the leftovers. Makes me wonder how high Hod and Ching would have finished if they had appeared earlier
I was shocked to see Conacher that high. I had him at 64 on my original list. I might have underestimated him originally, but not by that much.
