I think between Gretzky, Orr, Lemieux and Howe - they have the best regular seasons in the history of the sport. Maybe as much as the top 15- 20 seasons between the 4 of them.
What are the top 3 individual regular seasons of all-time for you outside of the big 4? Regular season only, ignoring playoffs.
I ask partly because Connor McDavid is currently in the midst a spectacular season almost ~50 games in, and I wonder how high his season might rank in an all-time sense if he can see it through completion.
Some of the seasons I feel could be in contention include:
- Phil Esposito 70-71, sets records for goals (76) and points (152)
- Hasek (which season is his best? 98? 99? 97?)
- Jagr...probably 1999? I personally like 1996 too, but hard to differentiate from Lemieux
- Beliveau 1956. his playoffs are also spectacular that season, does he make the top 3 on regular season alone?
I'm sure there are many others to choose from - maybe one player even has 2 seasons that make the top 3 for you?
Curious to see what seasons you guys have here.
