I know his NHL career wasn't long, but I keep wondering why Hakan Loob isn't in the Hockey Hall of Fame. Superb longevity in Sweden, strong international resume, Stanley Cup, first/only Swede to score 50 goals in the NHL. Just an incredible resume.
Only 8 players have reached the 100 point mark in a season wearing a Calgary Flames sweater.
Kent Nilsson (x2)
Theo Fleury (x2)
Johnny Gaudreau
Joe Mullen
Hakan Loob
Mike Bullard
Al MacInnis
Matthew Tkachuk
Nilsson and Gaudreau also had one 99 point season each.
