Will any goalie ever eclipse Grant Fuhr's 14pt season?

[Bounces R Way]

In the 1983-84 regular season Fuhr had a 14pt season(all assists, and in only 45 games!). With the trapezoid in place goalie scoring has taken a bit of a hit, but maybe the next goaltending offensive dynamo is waiting in the wings. People like to talk about Gretzky's career point record as being one of the most untouchable in all of sports but what about Fuhr's

Frederik Andersen led the league in goalie scoring last year with 4pts.

not for a long while

Shesterkin had 4 assists in the playoffs this past season. Wonder where that ranks all-time in the postseason.

Could see him getting 10+ assists in a regular season at some point.

I see 3 assists in a few places. Brodeur holds the record with 4

Martin Brodeur has collected the most points by a goalie in a single NHL playoff run, with 4 points in 2011-12.

Yeah those 80,s oiler teams where something likely to never be seen again....

Shesterkin
And I would bet any money on him scoring at least one goal before his career is over. He’s a very aggressive puck handler and very confident in playing the puck, and in shooting for empty nets.

 

[DueDiligence]

No because teams actually play defense now.

not under current rules

but I voted maybe because "not under current rules" is not quite the same thing as "no" since I don't at all think it's a given that there won't be rule changes that lead to more Goalie scoring at some point

 

[Lays]

It’ll be Igor. His puck handling and passing is ridiculous and his balls are big enough to start pulling more moves. I think it was against the Canes in the playoffs where we were up by 2/3 goals he tried pulling a move on a Canes forechecker when he had the puck behind the net. He ended up turning it over sure but the willingness and ability for him to turn into the NHL’s Manuel Neuer is there. In one of his first few NHL games I remember being surprised by him even having the courage to shoot for the empty net. Routinely makes crisp saucer passes the opposing blue line

And yes he did have a few assists in the playoffs. More points than Schneider, Goodrow, Motte, Rooney, Braun, Nemeth and Reaves

I would not be surprised with a 1 goal 7-10 assist season from him next year

Pass to Gretzky and chill

 

[JuJu Mobb]

Fuhr makes save, Coffey retrieves puck, passes to Gretzky, shoots for a goal or pass to Kurri or whoever then goal.

 

[Arthuros]

Pace-wise no way. I reckon 14 points could be possible (if unlikely).

 

[InfinityIggy]

For some more context that's 27 points over 82 games pace. So from that perspective, no.

From the perspective of just 14 points, ever is a long time. I could see it, maybe a guy like Shesty.

 

[bobbyking]

if Martin Brodeur couldn't beat it then I think that says a lot

 

[The Macho King]

Not enough end to end rushes anymore. Don't think so.

 

[Rengorlex]

It could happen maybe if using goaltenders as a systemic part of the breakout became the norm.

 

[frisco]

I think Fuhr's season mark and Tom Barrasso's career mark of 48 seem to be pretty safe. The active goalie leaders are Fleury, Quick, and Mike Smith with a mere 20 each and they're obviously at the end of their careers. BTW, Barrasso's season high was 8 (done twice).

[ManofSteel55]

I do every season in EA. Goalie to McDavid, carries to the zone, one timer, scores

 

[Zach716]

The meta of the NHL will have to change for anyone to come close

 

[JKG33]

Way outta left field here, but Campbell does it on the Oilers at some point

 

[CanadienShark]

Not enough end to end rushes anymore. Don't think so.

I really never see goalies go end to end anymore.

 

[beowulf]

Really not likely. The highest point producing goalie in the NHL right now is Mike Smith who in 16 SEASONS has 1 g and 20 assists for 21 points. So ya, getting 14 points in 1 season is not likely. Vasilevski has 16 points in 8 season among the younger guys.

 

[HockeyHistorian]

Maybe is the correct answer at this moment. If anyone does it, I'll change my answer to yes. No is a valid choice too if the league ceases to exist before anyone does it. #logic

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Yes the NHL isn't going anywhere eventually all records will fall

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Igor will score 14 goals in one season.
