Travis Moen led the playoffs in even strength goals (tied with Alfredsson) in 2007 with 7.

Thinking of two legends who had their careers cut short due to injuries. If they had been playing as old as Chris Chelios:
Bobby Orr would have played until 1995-96
Mike Bossy would have played until 2004-05 (well it was the season wiped out by lockout, so effectively until 2003-04)
Until Bobby Orr, defencemen were supposed to stay in their end. Only a handful of players like Eddie Shore, Red Kelly and Doug Harvey would regularly join the attack.In the 1950's only 2 dmen cracked the top 10 for scoring in the NHL in any given season.

Gordie Howe isn't the only man to have played professional hockey at age 52. Ron Duguay was 52 when he played two games in the Eastern Professional League during the 2008-09 season. In those two games, he also became the last professional player not to wear a helmet.
Hakan Loob had 19 SHP in his NHL regular season career: about 0.04 per game. But in his playoff career he had 10, or about 0.13 per game.
If his playoff PK usage was no different from the regular season, in all likelihood he was only on the ice for about 15 PPGA in his playoff career - a remarkable GF:GA differential for this sample size.
That's remarkable. What did Dugey's hair look like at 52?Gordie Howe isn't the only man to have played professional hockey at age 52.

Duguay was 51, not 52.
If that's the case, my bad. The article I read said 52. Still awesome though.
