Craziest Numbers You've Ever Seen

[Penncakes]

What are the most unbelievable numbers you've seen from a player in any league? Obviously players who can put up 100+ points in the NHL are so insanely better than a 500 point beer leaguer. However, I'm still curious. What are the craziest stat lines you've ever seen?

A couple I can think of:
Wayne Gretzky with Brantford (Atom Minor Hockey) in 1971-72: 85 games, 378 goals, 139 assists, 517 points
Kevin Evans with Kalamazoo (IHL) in 1986-87: 73 games, 50 points, 648 PIM
And on the other end, Ken Daneyko went like 250 games without a goal in the NHL

I find players who just completely outmatch their opponents super interesting, especially if they later go into a league we have a better idea of the caliber.

Ken Dryden's regular-season won-lost-tied record in ECAC (US College), AHL, and NHL combined comes to mind. Dryden went:
350 wins - 68 losses - 63 ties (.793)

For, like, thirteen years there was a 14% chance, each game, that Dryden would lose.

Tony Tanti 81 goals in OHA

Probably the most stunning offensive stats in NHL history are Wayne Gretzky's peak NHL years, and the most stunning of his stunning stats is his 7-year specific peak and its Non-Power-Play (i.e., ES + SH) scoring dominance.

Non-Power-Play Points (Jan. 3rd 1981 to Jan. 3rd 1987):
926 -- Gretzky
520 -- Kurri
508 -- Bossy
460 -- Statsny
434 -- Goulet
422 -- Coffey
420 -- Anderson
418 -- Dionne
417 -- Trottier

I believe those are the only guys, for this seven-year period, to score 400 non-PP points. Gretzky more than doubled Statsny's production... for seven years.

The first one that comes to mind is Bill McDougall in the 92-93 AHL playoffs for Cape Breton.

Bill has some crazy numbers on his resume like 148 points in the ECHL in 57 games but many players had stuff like that.

In 92-93 his line in the regular season was 71-42-46-88 which was very good but was second on the team behind the immortal Dan Currie who was a goal scoring star for Cape Breton 3 years straight.



But in the playoffs Bill McDougall goes mental and has a line of 16-26-26-52

So in 16 playoff games


Bill has 15 more goals than his next best team mate who has 11.

He also has 7 more assists than his next best team mate.

He has 26 more points than his next best team mate.

Bill is the definition of carrying his team to a championship and the AHL is a very high level.

I always marvel at Kevan Evan’s pms with Kalamazoo.

The NHL goalie with the most career penalty minutes is Ron Hextall, who accumulated 569 penalty minutes during his career. He also holds the record for most penalty minutes in a single season by a goalie, with 113 during the 1988-89 season.

 

[BM67]

Greg Millen's H/R split with STL in 1988-89 comes to mind

H 16-4-3 2.26 .913 (Riendeau 6-7-4 3.38 .873)
R 6-16-4 4.36 .854 (Riendeau 5-8-1 3.69 .866)

 

[Gambitman]

Grant Furh 14 assists in 83-84.

Wayne Gretzky with Brantford (Atom Minor Hockey) in 1971-72: 85 games, 378 goals, 139 assists, 517 points

the 85 games is pretty bonkers tbh

i think (in the 90s) we played maybe 30 games in a season at that age? those poor parents
