Sneaky High Scoring Seasons

[nbwingsfan]

Justin Abdelkader once had a 23g in 71 game season almost entirely from Datsyuk bouncing pucks off his ass

 

[Took a pill in Sbisa]

The Oilers had a winger during their decade of darkness named Ryan Jones.
He had 3 full NHL seasons where he didn't get sent to the AHL at some point, one of those seasons he scored 17 and 18 goals in another.

 

[Cowumbus]

Nick Foligno 73P in 79GP 2014/15?

 

[Shocker]

He's the 12th highest scoring defenseman of all time, and you only remember him for elbows he didn't throw? Had you said he's only remembered for headshots, you'd be on to something but he only took 4 elbowing penalty in 1635 career games.

Yeah, Stevens didn't usually throw elbows, he did headhunt people, but back in the day those were legal hits.

Anders Kallur scored 36 in 1980-81

Robert Lang led the league in scoring for majority of the 2003-04 season.

 

[Felidae]

Gonna go with 2 Czech players here.

Does anyone remember when Voracek and Lang at their best were leading the league in points for a bit?

Voracek ended up 4th in points, 7 points shy of the Art Ross Trophy.

Lang finished 9th in points, but a PPG of 1.14, 4th best in the league. 2nd best pace that season was 1.16..

he also outproduced Jagr that season, and they were on the same team

Neither player ever finished top 10 in points again. Lang's next best is a 20th point finish, and 15th for Voracek.

Robert Lang led the league in scoring for majority of the 2003-04 season.

Beat me to it, I didn't realize it was the majority of the season though.

Yeah, Stevens didn't usually throw elbows, he did headhunt people, but back in the day those were legal hits.

Not just legal they were encouraged LOL

 

[voyageur]

Maybe not the place it for but 1979-80 Mike Rogers finished 5th in the league in scoring with 105 points and Blaine Stoughton finished 8th in scoring with 100 points, tied with Charlie Simmer and Danny Gare for the league lead in goals with 56. Hartford Whalers.

Both guys were out of the NHL within 5 years.

My Best-Carey

 

[Hennessy]

Andrew Brunette with 83 points in 2006-07.
Over 20 points higher than his next best.

He wasn't exactly in contention for the Ross, though. Crosby won it that season with 120 points.

 

[Jeremy Hronek]

Kuzmenko putting up 39 goals and 74 points.

 

[Hallonbroder]

Alexei Zhamnov in 1995. 65 points in 48 games. Behind Lindros and Jagr's 70 points that year. Thats 111 points in a full 82 games for a guy who never got more than 76 points in a year.

Loved him as a kid. Not so much today

 

[KaseMeOutside]

Teemu Selanne 97-98

72 games played
52 goals
86 points

2nd leading scorer had 53
3rd leading had 36

It's one of the great under the radar seasons I remember. That team had nothing besides him and Kariya who only played 22 games

 

[God]

mark recchi at age 35 led the flyers in scoring with 75 points and ended up 13th in the league in points in 03-04

i also really liked martin havlat from 06-09 and i felt like if his shoulder wasn't so crap, he would've probably had a top 10 finish in scoring
