Interesting Franchise Facts

[The Panther]

The Montreal Canadiens haven't had a 100 point scorer since 1986 when Mats Naslund hit 110.

Yep. They haven't had a 50-goal scorer since Richer in 1989-90, although that's less unusual.

The Scouts / Rockies / Devils haven't had a single 50-goal scorer or 100-point player yet, in FIFTY years.

Anyone want to take a guess?

I'll post the answers tomorrow. Some may be a bit surprising.

Hm.

Without checking, I will guess:
-- Vegas
-- Vancouver
-- Atlanta 2.0 / Winnipeg 2.0
-- Edmonton
-- Columbus (?)
-- Philly (?)

Vegas is correct.

Bure won the Calder. Pettersson did as well more recently.

Heatley won the Calder playing for ATL.

Edmonton is correct. Yes, despite having had Gretzky, McDavid, Coffey, Messier, Kurri, Draisaitl and three first overall picks in a row, the Oilers have never had a Calder Trophy winner. Of course, Gretzky was ineligible for the award and McDavid got hurt during his rookie season.

Steve Mason won the Calder playing for Columbus.

Philly is correct! This might be the season that streak ends. Michkov is one of the front-runners for the Calder.


There are three other teams that haven't had a Calder winner.

Whalers/Canes

Dafuq I missed a player of my own team winning an award? For shame.

In 2007, the Ottawa Senators scored the last goal ever scored at the Meadowlands Arena and also scored the first goal ever scored at the Prudential Center.

Maybe I was thinking of wins.

Bure won the Calder. Pettersson did as well more recently.

Wow, i do not remember Bure winning the Calder. Didn't he play only a partial season?

 

[Soundgarden]

Nashville hasn't won a Calder.

 

[DitchMarner]

He only played 65 games. It is kind of odd/surprising he won considering Lidstrom equaled him in points (60) and was a defenseman who played every game.

Nashville hasn't won a Calder.

That's right.


Two teams to go.

 

[JMCx4]

Nashville hasn't won a Calder.

If they ever do, they will most assuredly raise a banner for it @ Bridgestone Arena (or whatever it's branded by then).

The Lightning have never had a player win it. I believe Brad Richards was the closest they’ve come.

Indeed. They've had numerous award winning seasons and three first overall picks but no Calder winners.


There's one more team without a Calder winner.

 

[kaiser matias]

Taking a guess, it's the Ducks isn't it? They had some good rookies, but never Calder-worthy.

You win!

Thought Kariya had won it but he lost to Forsberg.

 

[VanIslander]

The most Game 7's have been played in Boston.

25 of them.

That's more than the Montreal Canadiens!

HAHAHAHAHA!

(Psst... don't mention the dynasty years when it didn't come to that; nor the early years when it couldn't come to that (due to shorter series).

 

[MadLuke]

25 of them.

You need to be in the playoff and the higher seed, not bad mark to have.


Patrick Roy played half of that as a player in his house, 13 of them...

If rask and thomas played in 6 both, that mean they played a lot of games 7 in a short amount of time, that is true that many come to mind of that Bergeron era.
