Did Jagr, then?

Nope, Jagr has only won the Hart once in 98/99. He won Stanley Cups each of his first two years in the league win the Penguins but was a secondary threat on both teams not breaking the ppg mark either year. His revelation as a world class player came in the lockout year where he finished with 70pts in 48 games.

This active goalie thing is really making me dig deep into the rolodex of my brain.

Is it someone dumb like Brian Elliott?

IT IS

Playoffs are no big deal,
don't have a crap attack.

Like I said in my edited post I never would have guessed Elliott was ever good enough to hit 40. But, he hit it exactly.

Hence me saying he's underrated. He's had a very fine career. Talk about underrated, Jaro Halak has 272 wins and 50 shutouts.

So we've got:

2. Messier
3. St. Louis
4. Orr
5. Lafleur
6. Clarke
7. Sakic

Since we have some people in the thread hanging, let's do a fun/maybe easy one.

Besides Gretzky/Lemieux/Orr, name the 14 players to hit 85 assists in a single season. This is more of a "let's see how fast this goes" than a hard one...

1. Steve Yzerman
2. Paul Coffey
3. Nikita Kucherov
4. Joe Thornton
5. Adam Oates
6. Jaromir Jagr
7. Ron Francis
8. Peter Forsberg
9. Pat LaFontaine
10. Bryan Trottier
11. Doug Gilmour

Also gently caress it, 2nd one too: Since 1990, only four goalies have amassed 40 losses in a single season. Name them.

I know Yzerman hit 100, because my favourite question to ask hockey people (that's too easy for this thread) is to name the player who's 14th on the single season points leaderboard, since 1-13 are all Gretzky/Lemieux.

My first guess was someone from the Capitals' first season, but nope, Ron Low went 8-36-2 and two other goalies combined to go 0-31-3.

Haha jesus those records. The question is since 1990 - the record is Gary Smith's 48 in 1971. There have been 4 40-loss goalies since 1990 though, that's the era. And we still have 3 85-assist players to guess.

Man the goaltenders must be from the 90's.. I can't see anyone getting 40 enough run to lose 40 games in the modern NHL. My first thought was Steve Mason but he never even got close to 40 losses lol

I have one for you fawning! (since your asking all the questions so far)

The lowest point total for any player to lead his team in scoring this year was 43 points by Adam Henrique for the Anaheim Ducks. That's pretty sad, although it did take place in a shortened season. Believe it or not over the previous 6 seasons (since the 2012-13 lockout abridged season) 43 points is not the lowest total for a player to lead their team - and those were full 82 game seasons!

My question is if you can name every instance of a player leading his team in scoring having registered less than 50 points in the last 6 full seasons. There are 9 such instances on record. If you can give the player and the team he did it for that's great, but I will accept just naming the players too :) The time period is from the start of the 2013-14 season to the end of the 2018-19 season.

some of them might be pretty easy to guess, others I would say even fans of the team in question may have wiped from their memory :D

If it's too difficult to do, I will happily give years and teams as hints :)

Yup! Sakic in 01 and Clarke in 75 were the last couple. I have some serious Mandella effect when it comes to Forsberg because I could've sworn I'd heard it discussed multiple times that he won the Hart and the Cup in the same year and he was such a leader, but nope he only won the Hart in 02/03 when the Avs were eliminated by the Wild in the first round :lol:

I was also prepared to have someone call me on my lead statement where I said Lemieux is the only player to win the Hart and miss the playoffs. That's TECHNICALLY correct, but arguably no longer the case. Draisaitl won the award this year and the Oilers failed to make the final 16 after losing to the Hawks in the play-in. However, the league ruled that making the play-in counted as making the playoffs for record keeping and streak purposes (pretty much entirely to ensure that the Pens playoff drought didn't end) so Draisaitl 'made the playoffs' and won the Hart in a year when he his team did not appear in a playoff game.

your logic is sound narrowing in on the Coyotes, but the name is wrong unfortunately.

And Colorado is one of the surprising teams that despite having some objectively awful clubs, never seemed to struggle for having a couple guys fill up the net. MacKinnon is incorrect :)

The Coyotes haven't been able to score for years and I know Schmaltz and Keller were racing to see if they could hit 50 last season, but I guess that's not a full year. I'd guess that no one did it for them in 18/19 either, so Keller for the Coyotes?
