Since the All-Time Teams all listed the players and then one seaon
which they played (most likely their *best* season, except for Chris
Terreri [see my earlier comments]), I think that the voting may have
been based only using a player's best single season.  If this is
true, then Paul is a valid choice for player of the 80's and 90's.
 
However, I do agree with Greg that the players of teh Decades, along
with the coaches of the Decades, *should* be based on a players or
coaches entire career (or which was in those decades).  For a
complete career I agree that Paul Kariya might not be the best choice
for East Player of the the Decades of the 80's and 90's.
 
So, who about we Hockey-Ler's all vote for our choices?  I would be
willing to tabulate the results, so if you wish to vote, e-mail me.

2. Please only vote in catergories that you have knowledge and/or
