I have another one as well. Gordie Howe had five seasons in which he fired over 300 shots on goal with a shooting percentage under 10 percent. Had we started measuring shots in goal at the start of his career, he may have had plenty more. In the modern era, this is more rare for forwards to do. In fact, only three forwards have done it in more than one season. Who are they? Name the three forwards since the modern era to put up more than one season of 300+ shots on goal and a <10% shooting percentage. Since this is very hard, I am happy to give a smaller era window.

Maybe Phil Kessel ? He seems like a guy who throws the puck on net a lot Edit: Sami Salo was never going to get there, but i feel like it's gotta be someone who had lots of pp time and players were trying to feed, but never quite scored boatloads of goal Oh just forwards, oops lol

I know Ray Bourque took a lot of shots, and there's no way he hit 10%. e: oh, forwards. Duh. I saw Sami Salo and thought we were saying dmen. I will think of this more. edit 2: maybe Ovechkin did this one year? He had a few low-scoring years, and I am sure he had over 300 shots still.

Maybe Sundin as well ? One of those years when the Leafs basically played without LW/RW so he had to do it all himself?

I'm gonna say Al McInnis did it. What about Esposito? Sheldon Souray?

Forwards only. A good amount of D have done it. Espo did it once in 1977 (34g on 344 shots) but that was all. For amusement: Souray's career high in shots was 268. MacInnis did this five times.

since you mentioned Gordie Howe and because he’s been on my mind since I watched the Conn Smythe Shift before this years Finals started: Zetterberg? launched a lot and never seemed to make a bunch either him or some other annoying Red Wing like Brendan Shanahan in some down years

Did Zetterberg do it? I know he used to shoot the puck a ton. Mikael Samuelsson as well. I know he liked nothing more than decorating the goalie's crest. Not sure he ever got enough ice time per year to hit 300+ shots though. I'll also guess Zach Parise who was a huge volume shooter when he was younger. Or how about Patric Hornqvist?

He did it in 09-10 (23g on 309 shots) and 10-11 (24g on 306 shots). He also just missed doing it 3 straight years: in 08-09, he had 31g on 309 shots, giving him exactly 10%.

Samuelsson's career high in shots was 257. Hornqvist's is 265. Parise had two consecutive seasons where he came close but was over the 10% threshold.

Hints: The remaining two players both did it post-2005-06. One is pretty recent and the other is a guy who most people probably had no idea was a reliable 300 shot player in his prime. He just didn't score much. He is also the only player on the list to do it 3 times.

I seem to recall Evander Kane being on the league leaderboard for shots while usually scoring 20-something goals, so I'll guess him. Some other trivia involved Brady Tkachuk taking a lot of shots but his goal totals haven't been huge, so he's my other guess for the current guy. As for the earlier one, maybe someone from the Devils? Brian Gionta? Jamie Langenbrunner? Brian Rolston? Oh wait, is it Olli Jokinen?

I cant imagine many players hit 300 SOG to begin with but I honestly cant remember the last time I looked up SOG at the end of a season so its not like I have a pool of names to draw from. Worse yet, its only D that pop into my head (Karlsson, Buff and Burns  ).One last guess: Jagr?

Brady just barely missed this year (35g on 347 shots puts him at 10.1%) and does not have any other 300 shot seasons. Langenbrunner's career-high shot total was 243. Gionta never had 300 either, but he came really close in 2010-11 with 29 goals on 298 shots (9.7%). Rolston is an awesome guess but he only did it once (but came really close to doing it several more times). He did it in 2001-02 (31 goals on 331 shots at 9.4%).

Loving these guesses! Some more hints: The guy who has done it three times put up 300+ shots four years in a row, yet only finished with 213 goals in 12 seasons. The other guy has done it within the last 8 years and has spent most of his career in the Western Conference.
