Mario Lemieux is the only player in the expansion era to win the Hart trophy and miss the playoffs in the same season. The Penguins actually finished last in their division in 1987/88 but Mario had 168pts including 70 goals in 77 games that year officially earning him the Super Mario nickname. While more common, can you name all the times a player has accomplished the unusual feat of winning the Hart Trophy and the Stanley Cup in the same year (post 67)? It's only been accomplished 11 times by 7 different players.

Good question, although my original question still has 2 goalies unsolved...

Ah shoot sorry I thought you meant one question per person at a time. I'll remove it for now.

As for your question, offhand guesses:

1. Wayne Goddamn Gretz-goddamn-ky
2. Mark Messier
3. Sidney Crosby
4. Did Mario do it in the 90's Cups?
5. Martin St Louis

I think I'm missing one...
I added it back and I actually missed Lafleur so I've edited it slightly.

1. Gretzky, of course. He won the Hart a record setting 9 times and the Cup four times. They overlapped three times in 83/84, 84/85 and 86/87. His most decorated year was 1984/85 winning the Art Ross, Hart, Pearson and being awarded the Conn Smythe trophy as playoff MVP.

2. Messier is correct. He did it in 89/90 when he led the Gretzkyless Oilers to a surprise Stanley Cup. Bill Ranford was the Conn Smythe winner for whatever reason.

3. Surprisingly Crosby has not done it. He's won two Hart trophies, two Conn Smythes and three cups. However none have overlapped. His Hart trophies came in 06/07 and 13/14 when they were eliminated in the first and second rounds respectively.

4. Mario also has not done it. Much like Sid he had a decorated career winning three Hart trophies and two Conn Smythes. However his two Conn Smythes came in 90/91 and 91/92 as he led the Pens to their first cups. He won the Art Ross each year but the Hart went to Hull and Messier those years.

5. Martin St. Louis did it and he remains the most recent individual to accomplish the feat in 03/04. He won the Art Ross and Pearson as well as he defeated the team that gave up on him four years prior in a thrilling game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals.

Bobby Orr
Guy Lafleur

Bobby Orr has also done it of course. In 69/70 and 71/72. He was the Conn Smythe winner both times.

Guy Lafleur has also done it twice (somehow I blanked him out in my mind as I was reading through the list). He did so in 76/77 and 77/78, winning the Conn Smythe the first time.

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.

So we've got:

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

I think that's it, right?

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.

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?

The Wild in the early part of the 2010s couldn't score at all, so maybe Mikko Koivu or Dany Heatley somewhere between 2011 and 2014?

no Brian Campbell was 1 off the team lead that year.. and he only scored 37 points lol

It is a player who is reasonably well known and was a long term guy on Florida

Oh dear god I have no idea. Reasonably well known eliminates Jagr (and I think he showed up a few years later anyways). Brad Boyes? I think he played for them.

E: Jussi Jokinen?

The guy is currently 28 years old, he lead the 2013-14 Panthers in scoring his rookie season.

So he was like 20 then? Does he still play for them? Was it Huberdeau?

It is not Huberdeau, and he does not currently play for the Panthers but he did for the vast majority of his (to date) career

Ekblad didn't show up until the following 2014-15 season, and he did not lead that team in scoring - that was Huberdeau who had been in the league a couple seasons by that point but had only scored 28 points in 2013-14. Our mystery player actually also out-scored Ekblad in 2014-15 :D

Nope, much like Colorado the Predators have been surprisingly consistent at having decent scorers on their team.. which surprised me too cause of their reputaiton. Their lowest leading point scorer in that time frame was 56 points, and the rest of the seasons were all over 60.

Yeah I'm assuming these teams have to be dog barf level garbage. A playoff contender will fluke into a 60pt leading scorer no matter how balanced they are.

The Sedins and then Horvat always meant the Canucks had over 50pts per year... I'd certainly remember if they didn't.

Jamie Benn holds the record for the lowest point total to win the Art Ross since like 1965 at 87. I think only Statsny had a lower point total. It was such a depressing year.
