MAMA MIA!!!
He forgot Wayne Gretzky so.... No, not a lot of thought put into it.
You can also add Eric Daze.

I was noting in another thread that Vladymir Konstantinov in 1995-96 (going +60) was a "plus" or "even" in 71 of 81 games played, which is obviously really good ES results. He was a clear "plus" in 41 of his 81 games (i.e., he was "even" in a lot of them). A minus in only 10 games all year.
This made me wonder which player/season had the most "plus", and then the most "plus / even", games in one NHL season? You would guess it might be Bobby Orr in 1970-71, but I don't have the game logs. Bobby Clarke probably good results in mid-70s, too.
Mark Howe in 1985-86 (+87) is very similar to Konstantinov ten years later. Howe finished a minus only 11 times in 77 games, and the 'worst' was also only a -2, also occurring only twice. But he was a clear plus in 48 games, more than Konstantinov.
I note that Gretzky in 1984-85 (+100) was a minus in 15 games, but a clear plus in 49 (one more than Howe). I would guess that forwards in general would have more erratic results than shut-down defencemen would.
Bryan Trottier in 1981-82 (+70) was a minus only 11 times. I don't have the game-logs for his 1978-79 -- that would likely be really good.
Anyway, does anyone have this info?
EDIT: I now note that Fedorov was a minus in only 10 games in 1995-96. Same as Konstantinov.

I think it would be possible to find this data using hockey-reference’s search tool. But now that they’re charging a subscription fee, I won’t be the guy to do it.

Geez, that's impressive!He was a minus player only 5 times both in 74/75 (80 GP) and 75/76 (76 GP).
Unless someone else has done it recently, I believe the only NHL players whose last names were palindromes are Joel Otto, Gary Lupul and Joffrey Lupul.
And Walt Tkaczuk, Kozlov, Kuznetsov... Have you really thought this through?

Philadelphia Flyers Reggie Leach is the only NHL’er that had more shots registered himself (8) than the entire opposing team in a game. That happened on February 12, 1978 vs Washington Capitals (7 shots).
That’s fantastic, but I wanted to fact check this claim, knowing that Ray Bourque posted 19 out of 73 shots in Ron Tugnutt’s legendary 71 save game in March of 1991, which I believe is still a record number of shots by a player in a single game. This was however shy of the Nordiques total of 26 shots that night.
I do believe Reggie Leach is the only one who single-handedly had more shots than the opponents in a game.
The only other instances where I found a player matching the total shots of an opponent was Sean Hill and Claude Lemieux doing it. Maybe someone can confirm these being the only times it's happened.
Wings GM Devellano has said it was his biggest mistake to trade Oates for Federko, mistakenly thinking veteran Bernie (of the epic 1986 playoffs) would put the Wings into cup contention.
Thanks for that.
Palffy's page doesn't have a link, weird.
Just doing some reading up on this, guess Palffy had a short relationship with someone in Slovakia, and then spent years denying he was the father. It was only years later when Hudec started playing in the Slovak league that they even met, set up by Jozef Stumpel.
I never would have guessed that Jari Kurri was the fifth-fastest player to score 1,000 pts. (or sixth if you consider that Gretzky holds the first two spots due to scoring 1,000 pts. twice). Gretzky, Lemieux, Bossy, Peter Stastny...then Kurri.
NHL.com has game logs now, for every player. One of the few things they've done right on the site.
it's too bad they don't put the data in sheets with sortable column and summing functions like hockey-ref.
When 18-year-old Bobby Orr signed a 2-year contract for $70,000 the average NHL salary at the time was $15,000.
Zigmund Palffy has a son, who also plays professional hockey. But his surname isn't Palffy.
With inflation his 70k in 1966 was probably like $500,000 today. Probably a bit more
basically NHL players in the mid 60's were making what would be 80-130k today
