90/91 Score Young Superstars # 15




# 15 Curtis Joseph


Young--24 years old  

Superstar--an exceptional talent, widely recognized and eagerly sought after for their services

Regular season
GP 943   W 454   L  352  T/O  90  SO 51  GAA   2.79

Playoffs
      GP 132    W  63   L  66    T/O  0  SO  16   GAA   2.45      

Signed as a free agent by St. Louis Blues in 1989.

Selected to play in the 1994, 1999 and 2000 All-star Games.

1996 IIHF Worlds and World Cup of Hickey

1998 and 2002 Winter Olympics

2007 Spengler Cup

Winner of the 2000 King Clancy Memorial Trophy.

He has the most career wins of any goalie who never played on a Stanley Cup winning team. Also the first goalie to have 30 or more regular season wins for five different teams.

I've scanned in the card I got signed IP last year.  As a long suffering Leafs fan, he did bring us to the playoffs but not the promised land. I have a very difficult time labelling him a superstar. Star yes . My opinion.

# 14 Scott Young


Young--24 years old  

Superstar--an exceptional talent, widely recognized and eagerly sought after for their services

Regular season
GP 1181    G 342   A  414   Pts 756  PIM 448

Playoffs
GP 141   G  44   A  43    Pts. 87  PIM  64

Selected 11th overall in the 1986 NHL Entry Draft by the Hartford Whalers. Also played for Pittsburgh, Quebec, Colorado, Anaheim, St. Louis and Dallas. Was a member of the 1991 Pittsburgh Penguins and the 1996 Colorado Avalanche Stanley Cup winning teams. He played in three world juniors, three Olympics, three world championships, the 1996 World Cup of Hockey and twice with the US national team's regular season. He was an All-Star defenceman at BU but spent most of his professional career at right wing. Scott was a reliable performer who had speed, a heavy shot and ability to read plays made for a long NHL career. 





In my opinion, I don't consider him young (except for the surname) or a superstar.
