Obscure hockey facts/stats (Part 2)

Zach Hyman has scored more regular-season plus playoffs goals in one season than Alex Ovechkin.

NHL All-time goals leaders on March 9th, 1994:

This was the day Mike Gartner passed Bobby Hull into 5th all-time. (Twelve days later the Rangers traded him to Toronto.)

I guess everyone has seen the photo of Mario Lemieux in the stands right behind the Canadiens' bench the night Guy Lafleur scored his 1000th point.

Here is the film clip of it. You can see Mario (just... he's tall) in the stands behind Lafleur from about 0:40 to 0:42 seconds:

Marcel Dionne in 75 became the first player outside of Orr/Esposito to hit 110, 115 and 120 points. Feels totally forgotten because Orr had a monster season that overshadowed everything and then Lafleur started his run.

Dionne is one of the most forgotten superstars in NHL history, mostly because he played for a franchise that was irrelevant during the time period.

 

[Matsun]

Dionne is one of the most forgotten superstars in NHL history, mostly because he played for a franchise that was irrelevant during the time period.

He might've had the worst timed peak ever. He lapped the field by big margins several times but kept facing generational talents or random career years that made his seasons look less impressive.

1976-77	TEAM	GP	G	A	P	PPG
Lafleur	MTL	80	56	80	136	1,70
Dionne	DET	80	53	69	122	1,53
Shutt	MTL	80	60	45	105	1,31
Macleish	PHI	79	49	48	97	1,23
Perreault	BUF	80	39	56	95	1,19

If Lafleur got injured in 77 Dionne leads the league in goals, assists, wins the Ross by 25 points and it's remembered as one of the best seasons ever, but Lafleur peaked higher.

1978-79	TEAM	GP	G	A	P	PPG
Trottier	NYI	76	47	87	134	1,76
Dionne	LAK	80	59	71	130	1,63
Lafleur	MTL	80	52	77	129	1,61
Bossy	NYI	80	69	57	126	1,58
MacMillan	ATF	79	37	71	108	1,37

Dionne is 22 points ahead of 5th in scoring, but because 3 other forwards had monster years he doesn't stand out.

1979-80	TEAM	GP	G	A	P	PPG
Dionne	LAK	80	53	84	137	1,71
Gretzky	EDM	79	51	86	137	1,73
Lafleur	MTL	74	50	75	125	1,69
Perreault	BUF	80	40	66	106	1,33
Rogers	HAR	80	44	61	105	1,31

In 80 he outscores Lafleur by 12 points and is 31 points ahead of Perreault in 4th. Instead of this being an alltime great season Wayne Gretzky had to enter the league and tie him for the Art Ross.

1980-81	TEAM	GP	G	A	P	PPG
Gretzky	EDM	80	55	109	164	2,05
Dionne	LAK	80	58	77	135	1,69
Nilsson	CGY	80	49	82	131	1,64
Bossy	NYI	79	68	51	119	1,51
Taylor	LAK	72	47	65	112	1,56

16 points ahead of Bossy but because of Nilssons freak season and being blown out by Gretzky this also becomes forgotten.
