From time to time I rail against mainstream media but this time I have to extend a hearty job well done. This is a fantastic article: well researched, well written and quite eye opening. I remember Dennis Maruk and we talk about that season of his a lot. It was an amazing time for the NHL. It was a shame that during that era the NHL didn’t have a national TV footprint.

Dan – can you email me Dennis’s digits? We must invite him to attend some games at Verizon Center this season. And thank you very much.
Hear hear! Plus find the guy who sat behind my Dad and I who would yell “Maruk, Maruk, Maruk, get ‘em Denny!” everytime he lined up for a face off at Cap Centre.
Ted, it would be great to have Dennis in a ceremony for Alex if (or when) he breaks that goal scoring record. He was a crowd favorite back when there wasn’t much to cheer for as a Caps fan. Remember when he got that huge standing ovation as the only Capital at the All Star game in Landover? 60 goals is a huge mark, and having Dennis present Ovie with some kind of plaque at center ice would be very classy.
