Is there any stats way that one can prove if potvin benefited Trottier and Bossy or vise versa.And Coffey benefited Gretzey and messier or vise versa.And same with orr and esposito that would be very informative.One would have to go over every game and read the newspaper stories of the games
Forget about all that nonsense. Potvin was one of the meanest SOBs to play the game and he CAPTAINED his team throughout a dynasty. He was a machine in his own end and produced at a top level offensively. Not to mention that his intangibles were off the charts. The thing he had over guys like Lidstrom, Bourque and Coffey was FEAR FACTOR. Players despised playing against Potvin. He literally had no flaws to his game whatsoever and possessed one of the largest wills to win of all-time. The man HATED losing. Hated it with a passion.
