Spring Break My Heart posted:For the first 3, I know Forsberg hit +50 in 02/03 and maybe did it another year. I think Heatley hit a really high number in one of the Senators years. Lemieux must have done it one of the years. Fedorov as well in some of the Wings better years. Fedorov is correct for +45. Heatley is not, and Forsberg is not the one who did it twice. Forsberg and Lemieux are two of the +50 players, so correct on those with one left. Schultz was the tricky one so good job on getting that. The other is not Lidstrom. 7 left on that first question, and the other D still has to be guessed.

fawning deference posted:In 2021-22, Calgary had an insane situation in which one line saw 3 forwards hit the +50 mark and nearly +60. 1) Did Jagr also do it? 2) I'll guess Lemieux here 4) Pronger? I know he had that Hart Trophy season but I can't remember how high his +/- got or if it happened post 2000. I know it was around 2000

All incorrect. Jagr never did it and Mario only did it once. Pronger had his big season in 99-00. He would be one of them but I have specified starting from the year after that, so also incorrect.

The only guy I could think of was Datsyuk, so I did finally look up the answers yesterday, and trying to rack my brain for "defensive-minded forwards that put up points" was apparently the wrong way to think of that question.

What's even more surprising is that it's William Karlsson, not Erik. His next best year is +19.

Alright, the unanswered ones:mentholmoose posted:2: The 2023 Eastern Conference Final between the Cats and the Canes was a low-scoring sweep. In fact, only two teams scored less than the Panthers 10 goals in a 4 game sweep (in any round) and won. Which teams were they? The 2003 Western Conference Final was already guessed. The other series was the 2018 Western Conference Quarterfinal between the Knights and Kings. The Knights won 4 straight, scoring only 7 goals in the process. All 4 games were one goal wins, and 2 of them were 1-0. Marc-Andre Fleury posted some very un-MAF stats in the series, posting an 0.65 GAA and a .977 save percentage. Jonathan Quick went 0-4 with a .947 sv%. mentholmoose posted:5: Post-expansion, there was one series with all 4 games having the same score. Which series was it? All 4 games of the 1993 Adams Division Final, between the Montreal Canadiens and Buffalo Sabres, ended 4-3. The last three games all ended in overtime. Definitely one of the closest sweeps ever.

On December 7, 2022 Tage Thompson scored his fifth goal in a win over the Columbus Blue Jackets. This was the first time since 1996 that two five goal games occurred in the same calendar year with Timo Meier accomplishing the fear in January 2022. It hasn't been done in the same season since Peter Bondra and Mike Ricci each had one two weeks apart in February 1994. Even rarer is the five goal playoff game. Can you name the five players in history who have scored five goals in a playoff game? Three occurred in the expansion era (post 1967) two prior. No "nobody" has ever done it. Free hint: It's one of the few things Gretzky never did.

Mario is the first one! No sadly it wasn't the five goals five different ways game, that was the same season though. On April 25, 1989 Mario scored five goals (four in the first period alone) in a win over the Flyers. He'd complete the feat with 40 seconds to go in the game as the Flyers battled back from a 9-3 defecit after the second briefly bringing it to 9-7 before Mario made it double digits for the Pens. The Pens lost the series in 7 and Mario only scored one more goal after that. ThinkTank fucked around with this message at 21:20 on May 29, 2023 |

Zodijackylite posted:I believe Rocket Richard is one, he's an easy answer to a lot of goal-scoring questions. The Rocket was the 2nd ever player to do it. He did so against the Maple Leafs in March 1944 en route to his first ever Stanley Cup against the powerhouse Red Wings. Spring Break My Heart posted:Esposito? Reggie Leach? Neely? Reggie Leach is correct as well. He had five of his team's six goals in the series clincher of the 2nd round over the Boston Bruins in May 1979. It was a all-time playoff performance from Leach who'd go on to win the Conn Smythe on the back of a 19 goal post season in spite of the Flyers being swept in the finals by the Habs. Despite being among the greatest goal scorers of all time, neither Esposito not Neely never had a 5 goal game. It's a very rare accomplishment. Johan Franzen had a five goal game in 2011, only the second in the salary cap era, but it was a mid-season game. fawning deference posted:Gaborik? Bobby Smith? Gaborik was the first player to have a five goal game in the salary cap era, but again it came in mid-season in December 2007. Bobby Smith never had a five goal game.

There are two left. One is a Canadian franchise icon and the other is among the greatest players in league history but did it over a century ago so you can be forgiven for not getting him.

mentholmoose posted:Sittler or Gilmour? It is indeed Daryl Sittler who also managed a 5 goal game in the first round of the 1976 playoffs against Reggie Leach's Philadelphia Flyers. It's a bizarre fact that two of the five five goal playoff games in history came within two weeks of each other and the players who accomplished it faced off. It was quite the season for Sittler who yet another five goal game that same season on February 7, 1976 against the Boston Bruins. For good measure Sittler would tack on another goal and four assists that evening for the NHL's first and only ten point game. It remains to this day the last time an NHL player scored six goals in a single game. The Leafs would carry that incredible play to a 4th place finish and a first round exit because some things never change. The final 5 goal playoff game came courtesy of Edouard "Newsy" Lalonde, one of the NHL's first major stars playing on a line with Joe Malone and Didier "Cannonball" Pitre they were the first rendition of the flying Frenchmen. Lalonde tallied his five goal game against the (then) Ottawa Senators in 1919 securing an opportunity for his team to challenge the Seattle Metropolitans for the Stanley Cup in the process. They were poised to win that series when, for the first time in league history, the Stanley Cup was not awarded due to a massive outbreak of the Spanish flu among the Metropolitans. That trio doesn't get much fanfare because they played so early in the league's history but they were true stars of the sport. Malone had the league's first five goal game in it's very first game. He also holds the record as the only player to score 7 goals in a game. Lalonde's five goal playoff game is all the more impressive when you consider that one year prior the league had changed the rules specifically to slow him down. Lalonde and Malone were scoring so much as they'd perfected snap shots just off the ice. Goalies weren't allowed to drop to their knees to make saves so they were getting worked. The league allowed goalies to drop for the first time, so Malone and Lalonde simply taught themselves to shoot high and kept scoring at the same rate. Lalonde unofficially holds the third highest career PPG behind only Gretzky and Lemieux at 1.68ppg but sadly the NHL does not formally recognize stats from that era.

Did the Ducks do it in 2007 in game 5 or 6 or whichever it was to end that series? I recall that had a few late goals (I think one very late by gently caress Corey Perry) to really make it more lopsided, but I don’t remember the exact score.
