Another big road win... Big Bert with the Hatty!

They looked exhausted in that game. Really gutted it out.

AM34 GPG... 0.92

 

The only players to beat that is Mario and The Great One!

[Spanky99]

Gotta love that finish tonight in Chicago.

 

I mean I watched live but f***, that was a romantic finish.

Bret Hull in 90-91 also

Bret Hull in 90-91 also

 

Did he, ??? Marcel Dionne was close.

 

I just read a meme. It had no Gretzky while he had 2 seasons over 1 and several 70 goal seasons.

 

Yes, Hull kills this number, 1.06

I saw that same one, they left off a decent number of seasons with other players that were better to make Matthews look even greater than he already is.

 

 

All time though he is currently 5th at .65 goals per game (minimum 200 goals to qualify). Mike Bossy is tops at .76, Mario .75....Gretz and Ovi are tied at 7th with .60

Mogilny also scored 76 in 77 games in 92-93, the same year Selanne scored 76 in 84 games (.904 GPG).

 

Mario scored 69 in 60 that year, missing a quarter of the season for Hodgkins and still won the scoring race with 160 points in 60 games. Insane.

That Mario year was bonkers. He was on pace for 94 goals and 219 points that season. It was like Bonds in '04 kind of dominance.

Yeah man.

 

That season was insane, but then when you add the story and the comeback from Hodgkins.... to me it's the greatest NHL season of all time.

Fun to look at career stats for Crosby and Ovechkin now

 

Crosby could really climb the all time assists leaderboard if he plays a few more years

 

Ovie might be cooked, probably won't set the goal record. Bit sad.

 

Joe Sakic might be the most underrated player in history. What a stud.

[Spanky99]

Leafs have the best goal differential in this 7 game stretch in 31 years, cool beans.

 

I'd be smitten for another W tonight.

 

Oof... played alright though.

This made me look at this all-time list. The name that stood out to me was Mark Recchi. 14th all time in total points? I never even considered him a star player! I knew he put up some big seasons early on, but I thought it was because he played on lines with some true star players. He only exceeded a point per game in 6 full seasons? I certainly thought of Joe Sakic as being a f***ing stud.

[Spanky99]

I certainly don't think of Sakic as underrated that f***er was awesome.

He was my favourite player. But now, nobody really talks about him much when discussing the all time greats. They say he had the best wrist shot ever, but that's what you hear.

When I think of Sakic, I think of Stevie Y... great players. Great builders now too.

Same! I think "great 2 way centers who were incredible leaders"

Brett Hull > Everyone

Tanev to Dallas I just heard. 3 team trade involving Jersey.

 

Calgary acquired defenseman prospect Artem Grushnikov and the Stars' second-round pick in the 2024 NHL Draft and a conditional third-round pick in the 2026 NHL Draft. New Jersey received Dallas' fourth-round pick in the 2026 draft.

[Spanky99]

Hyman has 40 goals in 56 games... who called that?

[Spanky99]

I want Pitt to catch that last spot. They just need to win those games in hand. C'mon Jarry, bro!

[Krylian]

I think of Ron Francis in that group too.

Good call.

That guy was so fking clutch - and he'd take it up another gear in the playoffs. I was living in Vancouver during his prime and remember him burying the Canucks so many times.

Ilya Lyubushkin pulled from Anaheim's starting lineup. Leafs are one of the teams involved in conversations for him.

Buds got him. Is he good?

[Laika]

The fact that you don't remember him probably answers the question

 

(no)

 

but it raises the floor on their third pairing I guess

Just asking as I'm not much of an NHL fan. Now that I've stopped playing fantasy sports, I don't know the marginal players very well at all (not that this guy would ever have been considered for fantasy hockey anyway).
