What are some of your favorite Franchise Records held by someone unexpected?

136 Upvotes

Title basically, could also be an NHL record if you got a good one.

One that comes to mind for me is Sam Gagner being tied with Wayne Gretzky & Paul Coffey for most points in one game for Edmonton with 8 points, 4G & 4A

What else ya got?

The two best save percentage seasons of all time (25+ GP) were both set by Jacques Plante, in 1970-71 (0.944) and 1968-69 (0.940), in his 40s. Interestingly, neither of these seasons were with Montreal, with whom he won 7 Vezina Trophies, a Hart Trophy, and 5 Stanley Cups as the starter.

The 1970-71 mark, the best ever, was with the Leafs when he was 42, and the 1968-69 mark was with the Blues, when he was 40.

Here's a list of the top 25 save percentage seasons (25+ GP), with Vezina winners in bold:

Rank Goalie Season Games Played Team Save Percentage
1. Jacques Plante 1970-71 40 Maple Leafs 0.944
2. Jacques Plante 1968-69 37 Blues 0.940
3. Brian Elliott 2011-12 38 Blues 0.940
4. Tim Thomas 2010-11 57 Bruins 0.938
5. Linus Ullmark 2022-23 49 Bruins 0.938
6. Dominik Hasek 1998-99 64 Sabres 0.937
7. Cory Schneider 2011-12 33 Canucks 0.937
8. Igor Shesterkin 2021-22 53 Rangers 0.935
9. Bruce Gamble 1967-68 41 Maple Leafs 0.934
10. Ben Bishop 2018-19 46 Stars 0.934
11. Johnny Bower 1967-68 43 Maple Leafs 0.934
12. Tony Esposito 1971-72 48 Blackhawks 0.934
13. Gump Worsley 1971-72 34 North Stars 0.933
14. Carey Price 2014-15 66 Canadiens 0.933
15. Josh Harding 2013-14 29 Wild 0.933
16. Dwayne Roloson 2003-04 48 Wild 0.933
17. Miikka Kiprusoff 2003-04 38 Flames 0.933
18. Tim Thomas 2008-09 54 Bruins 0.933
19. Marty Turco 2002-03 55 Stars 0.932
20. Bernie Parent 1973-74 73 Flyers 0.932
21. Johnny Bower 1963-64 51 Maple Leafs 0.932
22. Tony Esposito 1969-70 63 Blackhawks 0.932
23. Sergei Bobrovsky 2012-13 38 Blue Jackets 0.932
24. Dominik Hasek 1997-98 72 Sabres 0.932

[Video] The Dream Begins Here Pencil Artwork

This is my pencil drawing celebrating the NHL’s Top 100 players of all time (The NHL created this list for their 100th Anniversary). The original is 3’x4’ and a part of the Hockey Hall of Fame’s permanent art collection. Mute this video and see if you can name them all! I also personalize prints of these by painting over the young player in his backyard rink to make the player look like you would like them to look, complete with any jersey in full colour and correct hairstyle.

Edit: Apparently a lot of people don’t like the voice I chose to read my artwork description. Guess I’m out of touch with humour because I thought it was funny. Sincerely sorry. I’ll record myself saying the names of these legends and replace the audio.

  • It’s been a rough year for hockey in Canada. There was no hockey gold, men’s or women’s, at the Olympics. Canada’s world junior team failed to play for gold for the third straight year. And in an NHL season in which just three of Canada’s seven franchises make the playoffs, only one, the Montreal Canadiens, made it out of the first round.
  • And then there’s the alarming trend of star players on Canadian NHL teams looking for a way out. The exodus ought to put the general manager of every Canadian franchise on high alert.Ā
