I still think of him as more of a skill and outside shooter. One-timers. etc. Here's his 50th in '83. For me, he just doesn't fall into that garbage man group.
Vaive played on some bad teams

The Garbage Man, and it's not new.
Andreychuck scored 640 goals and he could barely skate.
Neely made his living in front of the net.
Tim Kerr was one of the best PP power forwards in the 80s.
Luc could shoot the f*** outta the puck, he just couldn’t skate.Yea plenty of guys were like that, Robitaille is another that comes to mind.
After seeing Zach Hyman this season, and Sam Reinhart that could be included, I'm wondering if there is a new scorer type? It's like sniper, but that don't snipe. They score goals by rebounds, and mostly score like a few inches from the goalie. It's like they pick up the trash.
Oilers are on fire right now, can't believe Zach Hyman invented the net-front presence, truly inspirational stuff.
Cheechoo was indeed quite a bit like that.After seeing Zach Hyman this season, and Sam Reinhart that could be included, I'm wondering if there is a new scorer type?

I have some family members that told me that Jonathan Cheechoo was that kind of player back then in his 2005-2007 short-lived prime with Joe Thornton.
What are y'all guys thoughts?
Exactly what I'm thinkingOff the top of my head, I believe it's the first time ever 2 garbage goal guys have broken out like this in the same season.
It's really unusual as 50 goal guys are usually at least somewhat predictable, and no one had either of these two doing it.

Bumper sticker in Massachussetts back then:Phil Esposito scored hundreds of goals off rebounds from Bobby Orr point shots during his career.
Esposito top-7 assist finishes:I'm confused by the Phil Esposito mentions here. He wasn't just cleaning up Orr's garbage every game. There probably isn't a deadlier player in league history from the high slot and he had a wicked snap shot that he learned from Bobby Hull. He was notorious for finding space in no man's land, just above the hash marks, and wiring it from there.
I don't know of Holmstrom ever scored a pretty goal but he scored some goals.
