Who will win the NHL Scoring Race 05-06?

It's all about Andy Wozniewski this year.
The Wizard of Woz will win the scoring race and go down as the greatest defenseman to ever play the game.

i new he was something special but, i never would've expected this.. Eric Staal a kid i helped coached one year in thunder bay is tied for the lead in nhl scoring right now.
but i think i should've included 'D'men McCabe and Kaberle for all the leaf fans out there... it seems that the defense will provide all the offence for them this season... talk about taking initiative! good work guys.

it really is anyone's game this year, isn't it?
My guess is that the scoring race will be one by one of the younger players... ie, under 27. i could see someone easily scoring 125+ points this year if they remain healthy and have a long multiple point per game streak.

Smokin' Joe Thornton is quickly climbing to #1... currently tied for 4th spot... last week was tied for 10th.
how about Eric Staal, leads the league right now.
and how about that Philly game last night, I like these high scoring games!

didn't want to leave anyone off the list... i just wanted to have a good variety... believe me, there's over 30 candidates for this position.
off to a fantastic season, no doubt...ricflairjuniour said:
but, let's put it into perspective. Gretzky went on a 51 game point streak. Heatley isn't even half way there, yet. Gretzky averaged 3+ points per game during that whole streak... Heatley averages around 2 points per game.
It's amazing that the guys we praise in todays NHL don't add up to 1/2 the player Gretz was... Well we'll have to wait and see what Syd the Kid will turn into... as well as Phil Kessel when he reaches the big 'N'...
I don't think we can put anyone into the class of Gretzky. Gone are the days in hockey pools where the first overall pick is a given. The players out there now are just as good, if not better, than everybody that was second and lower in the scoring races of the '80's. Don't forget, there are only 5 players in the history of the NHL with 150 points or more in one season, so 125 points is pretty damn good. Anyone care to guess who they are?21pro said:
