Notes:
I can't help but to root for Tim Kerr.  He had to overcome so much during his tremendous NHL career and still stands as one of the great goal scorers in Philadelphia Flyers history.  Among the obstacles he faced: torn knee ligaments, aseptic meningitis, five shoulder surgeries, and the death of his wife (ten days after giving birth).  Your heart aches just reading that, doesn't it?  Still, Kerr was able to put together four consecutive 50-goal seasons in the mid '80s and finished his career with 370 goals in only 655 games.
