yea this year always amazed me, it was also my favorite year and when I really started becoming a fan,, maybe if they kept the NHL going at this pace it could really have boomed because I know hockey was really getting big at this time,,, also how the **** did Sellane get 76 goals

Larionov was not in Detroit then, and Federov never played for Detroit.

Uh, yes he did. He played there from 1990 until 2003. He scored 34 goals in 1992-93 for the Detroit Red Wings of the NHL.
It was before the Devils brought in the trap and killed hockey.
92-93 was a great year. besides watching the islanders win 4 straight cups i would say 92-93 year was the most fun and exciting time i had watching hockey. nothing since then has come close. is it not a coincidence that bettman officially took over as commissioner a year later in 93-94 and the game has never been the same?
I've always been curious about this but never really discussed it much.
What's the deal with the 1992-93 season and its ridiculous offensive totals for star players? I know Lemieux only topped out at 160, which was low for a league leader in the past decade, but besides that, it seems every star player had a career season. I mean, Lafontaine with 148? Oates with 142? Gilmour and Turgeon with 127+? Selanne and Mogilny at a goal per game? These players, and many others, never approached the numbers they posted in 1992-93 again.
In 15 years people will be asking the same question about why Crosby's 2006-07 scoring totals were so high and how a promising sophomore year led to decades of mediocrity.

Crosby is the best hockey player born since 1965.
That season was a really great season, I think that the expansion teams had a lot to do with the boom in scoring that season.

its weigh too esy two tayk a jab at somone with por speling.
Pretty bold statement, but not neccesarily true. Many players more accomplished than Crosby were born after or during 1965 (Yzerman, Lafontaine, Modano, Ovechkin, Lidstrom, Brodeur, Jon Tavares, Mario Lemieux, etc.).

Tavares is more accomplished than Crosby was at the same age, and AO is argueably the best player in the NHL right now.
Mike Modano has done more in his NHL career than Crosby, too. It just took him a few more years to do so.
I suggest you read up on the Flying Frenchmen teams of the Canadiens if you think the Devils brought the trap to hockey.
