Greatest Individual Performance

[Rants Mulliniks]

Just wondering if anyone has ever compiled a statistical ranking of the best individual performances by players compared to their teammates in both regular season and playoffs?

For instance, in 1992-93, Doug Gilmour recorded 127 points in 83 games or 1.53 PPG while his next closest teammate had 74 points in 78 games or 0.95 PPG. Come playoff time he had 35 points in 21 games or 1.67 PPG while his next closest teammate had 20 points in 21 games or .95 PPG.

Basically his PPG compared to number 2 on his team was phenomenal (almost twice his closest contributor). The 83-84 Oilers saw Gretzky at 1.84 but his second closest had 1.47 PPG.

Soooooo, if that makes sense, has anyone ever compiled that info? I'd love to see what were the most dominant statistical performances compared to fellow teammates (i.e. greatest displays of carrying a team).

Yzerman 88/89

155 points, next closest teammates were 93, 78, 71

Team scored 313 goals total.

Without him, they were prolly in the running for Sundin.

Lost in the first round in 6 games where Stevie accounted for 10 of their 18 goals scored.

Denis Potvin's 1st 4 years leading his team in scoring by 4, 14, 3 and 8 points (the last 2 years Trottier was on the team).

It might not be the best statistically but it is extremely impressive.

It's not quite what you're asking for, but this thread lists the man who had points on the highest percentage of his team's goals:

That season still leaves me shaking my head. Amazing.

Guy Lafleur 1978-79 had 129 points (52, 77) followed by Shutt 77, Mondou 72 and Lambert 66. Habs were decimated by injuries that year until the playoffs. Plus they were starting to look old.

Lafleur is overrated because of the stacked team he played on.

 

[greatgazoo]

In the 1981-82 regular season Gretzky scored 212 pts. The second highest scorer on his team had 105. That's more than double!

In the playoffs that spring he had 12 pts in 5 games and the second highest scorer on his team had 7 points. That's just 71% more.

 

[pluppe]

Pavel Bure in 01 had 92 points. next highest was 37.

he had 59 goals. next highest was 14.

But, but, Gretzky was only good because he had Kurri, Coffey and Messier et al

How about all those years he would have won his team scoring title with his assists alone. Just mind blowingly dominate.

Fixed.

That would be a bad year for the Great One in the 80s, it's more like 2.77 PPG in 83-84, the greatest PPG ever in a season, Kurri was second on the team with 1.77 PPG.

But I agree with the 81-82 season being more dominant for Gretzky. His 107 pts lead on teammate Anderson is astronomical, it's 2.65 PPG over 1.31 PPG. He also had 42 more goals than 2nd best Messier (but for goals domination it's hard to beat Brett Hull in 90-91, 86 to 27).

Pavel Bure in 01 had 92 points. next highest was 37.

he had 59 goals. next highest was 14.

Wow, this has to be the largest gap in %, right?

Holy ####. I'm suprised a margin like that is even possible.

It just might be.

Just sayin', but, Joe Thornton would have won his team's scoring title with assists alone a couple times. He never did that while also leading the league in goals though

No, Gretzky was only good because he had Semenko protecting him. Without his body guards, he would have been lucky to hit the 80 point mark.

It just might be.

One explanation might be that second best (Kozlov) only played 51 games while Bure played the full 82 games season, and the Panthers also traded Sillinger and Withney in mid-season, they were having decent numbers up to that point.

Whitney only had 3 more points after he was traded and sillinger would ahve ended up with 41 points if you could both team totals.

Bottom line is that Bure was a force for that team and remains under rated for a couple of reasons IMO.

1) He was not a complete player which is true but no one ever held that against the original rocket. Both guys bread and butter was scoring goals.

2) His career was shortened by injuries but it's a joke that Neely is in and Bure is out, shows how being a popular guy can go a long way.

 

[greatgazoo]

Bure's season in Florida...

Talk about the definition of a 1 man team, mind you they did have Luongo in net. However, that is staggering. It's the kind of stat you'd expect to see from the Joe Malone days of the NHL!

Took 10 years for Cam to get in, it has only been 7 years that Bure has been retired, there is still time before you start calling it a joke. Besides, the major difference is Cam Neely defined a position and was the best of the best at being a power forward. Pavel was extraordinary scorer but he didn't change the game nor impact his position like Neely did at his.

Neely is in the 50 goals in 50 games club something Bure is not. I am not saying Bure should not be in but more that you think it is a joke that Neely is.
