Won the scoring title at the Olympics 1992 (outscored Khomutov, Bykov, Selanne, Lindros), scored 102 points for Boston the next season, but degraded pretty fast at age 27+. An interesting career.

Juneau in Boston played with one of the greatest passers ever in Adam Oates and one of the greatest offensive dmen in Ray Bourque.
Juneau had 102 points.
Oates 142 points!
Bourque 82 points.
Then Juneau is traded to Washington and the magic is gone. Go figure.
2. Many players had career years with Oates: Klima, Hull, Neely, Juneau, Bondra, Simon.
Growing up, I was OCD with updating lineups and fixing mistakes with NHL '95 for PC. I always remember that Juneau was incorrectly programmed as being a right handed shot in those games.
One day I was in a poster store and came across a random one of Juneau which had him listed as a right shot. So I can only assume some central NHL listing had a typo that propagated to other mediums. [/coolstorybro]
I remember this was true for Tony Amonte in NHLPA 93 as well as NHL 94 - he was incorrectly made to be right handed. I'm curious if there was a similar error?
For some reason whenever I played through a season of NHL 95 he often ended up outscoring Mario Lemieux. That is my main memory of Juneau. I do respect how he reinvented himself in the NHL as his offence dried up.
I guess when you're as smart as Joe Juneau hockey really is just a game.
