The following season, the rest of the league started to understand the new rules too, and Cooney Weiland never even came close to those totals again. He would still be a very good player, but he was only dominating for one season, and was basically better than average for only a few more. Weiland did help the Bruins (especially in 1930) win two Stanley Cups, so it is not like he didn’t win. Still, this induction just doesn’t seem right.
