TOP8 moments of my career… next one is the moment number 5. Maurice "Rocket" Richard Trophy 1999… incredible moment... it was my third time with this honor to win the NHL best goal scorer in a season but... this time it was so unique… previous ones were shared titles with Mogilny 1993 and with Bondra 1998… this year I had it alone. It was the first time ever NHL presented a trophy for a best goal scorer… The Maurice Richard Trophy was a gift to the NHL from the Canadiens de Montréal to honor the first player in NHL history to score 50 goals in 50 games, 50 goals in a season and 500 goals in a career… I received the Trophy from The Legend himself. Maurice "Rocket" Richard passed away shortly after this. He gave me a moment I cherish for the rest of my life… Thank You Rocket!
