50 in 50 Tracker

Player games is the more reasonable assumption for an individual award, and the place to put useful information pertaining to a thread is in the title or OP.

So if a player gets 20 in 20 then takes ten days off and starts up again that should be legit? The reason 50/50 is hard, and special, is because you have to play night in and night out.

It mostly comes from the original feat by Maurice Richard who scored 50 in 50 games when the season was 50 games long.

Is there really the delusion going around that every poster reads every post?

there's no award for 50 in 50. its a little like "cult record" type thing. and the same posts are in the thread every year. i think if you dont understand something dont spout off about it is better advice than to have to explain everything to everyone in every post. a little self sufficiency is required.

If Pettersson scores 50 goals in total for the season, I'm sure Canucks fans won't complain.

Yep, and if someone scores 50 in 50 consecutive games in a single season than I will think that is awesome.

would be nice to see Pasta and Ovy both get 2 tonight and keep pace.
probably tougher for Pasta being on the road at Nashville but is definitely doable from both players and it would be nice if a couple players still had the chance for the next week or two at least.

... and who knows?

No doubt. That kid is better than expected - which says a lot.

EP 50 in 44

[mod] the team's first 50 games count when measuring the iconic 50 in 50 feat.

50 games was a full season way back so that's why the NHL acknowledges the achievement that way.

Which is f***ing stupid.

 

[hcg]

People *****ing about the definition of the club need to ****. Richard started it back when the season was only 50 games, that's why the team games are what counts, and since then only 4 players have done it (Bossy, Gretzky, Lemieux, Brett Hull). It's a ridiculously rare club, pretty much only for the Rocket and the best goal scorers of the highest scoring era in league history. The standard is supposed to be obscenely high. It's like the Medal of Honor for hockey. If it was easier to get, it wouldn't be as special.

Neely did it in 44 and gets 0 recognition because of this stupidity.

Kurri did it in 49 games iirc. Unfortunately he was injured for couple of games, so he is also without any recognition.

The thing is, it seems to be your (collective) problem, not the problem for people who think injuries shouldn't matter. So if you want to deal with that problem, it falls on thread creators to be clear.

Your ignorance is not my responsibility.

It's been explained multiple times in this thread by myself and others, if you want to remain ignorant, well that's your choice.

The thread is about 50 goals in the teams first 50 games. Just like last years thread, and the year before and any time TV personalities speak to it, or when anyone brings up the record. End of story.

ok well you have been explained the meaning of the thread so now whats *your* excuse?

People forget that Matthews still has the best goal per game ratio in the league (of players with 10 games or more). He could easily pick up the pace once he returns and hit 50 in 50.

LMAO if Matthews scores another 40 goals in the Leafs next 36 games I will upload a video to HFBoards of myself eating a hat while wearing a Tavares Leafs jersey.

Get out of here with this crap. He has a 0% chance of doing it. He went be back until the end of November. 40 goals in 22ish games after an injury is not happening.

Pettersson has 9 in 9 games!

On one hand, it was crazy, on the other hand, Darren Pang was a goalie at the time. Sometimes stats aren’t translatable across the generations

 

[PunkRockLocke]

Saying that injuries don't matter is silly. Endurance and conditioning is part of being an athlete. Sometimes an injury can occur regardless, yes, and that's just bad luck. Tough shit. It is a game, after all.

If someone were to score 50 goals in 50 games while missing some in between due to injury, that would still be incredibly impressive, but whenever the "50 in 50" is referenced amongst media and fans, it refers to the teams first 50 games. That's it.

Saying injuries shouldn't affect it is almost as silly as saying streaks should carry over from season to season.

Pettersson has 9 in 9 games!

For the 50/50 he's got 9 goals in 15 games. Pettersson is having an amazing rookie year.

Yep, I'm aware. The guy I quoted was referring to the Matthews 10 goals in 11 games played though as the best "ratio" in terms of goals to games played. I was just updating
