How come he's almost never talked about?
In the 11 seasons they spent together, Richard lead the team in points 5 times, and Lach 4 (including the year Richard scored 50).
They both won a Hart trophy, and Lach lead the league in scoring twice (Richard never did). I believe he also retired with the record for assists in a season and a career.
I'm not saying he was as good as Richard, but why is he always relegated to "sidekick" status, or forgotten altogether?
I'm curious to see where he's ranked on the various lists some of you guys have out there...
