Players Dominating their Teams' Scoring (per season)

[The Panther]

(Sorry if this has been covered before; I don't recall seeing it discussed in depth.)

The topic is Players Dominating their Teams' Scoring (per season... or longer, if you like). I guess this can be broken down into points, goals, and assists separately as you like.

So, I think it's well established that Mario Lemieux had the biggest domination of a team's scoring (did he?) -- in terms of points-per-team's-goals -- in the 1988-89 season. Naturally, he and Gretzky will score very high on this sort of list, as usual. So, I've taken those two player's most team-dominant seasons (of minimum 43.0% of team scoring) and ranked/listed them here:

1) Mario 1988-89 (Pitts.) -- 57.35%
2) Mario 1987-88 (Pitts.) -- 52.66%
3) Wayne 1984-85 (Edm.) -- 51.87%
4) Wayne 1981-82 (Edm.) -- 50.84%
5) Wayne 1985-86 (Edm.) -- 50.47%
6) Wayne 1980-81 (Edm.) -- 50.00%
7) Wayne 1986-87 (Edm.) -- 49.19%
8) Mario 2002-03 (Pitts.) -- 48.15% (despite missing 15 games)
9) Wayne 1990-91 (L.A.) -- 47.94%
10) Wayne 1982-83 (Edm.) -- 46.23%
11) Wayne 1983-84 (Edm.) -- 45.96% (despite missing 6 games)
12) Wayne 1997-98 (NYR) -- 45.69%
13) Wayne 1979-80 (Edm.) -- 45.51%
14) Mario 1985-86 (Pitts.) -- 45.05%
15) Wayne 1988-89 (L.A.) -- 44.68%
16) Mario 1995-96 (Pitts.) -- 44.48% (despite missing 12 games)
17) Wayne 1993-94 (L.A.) -- 44.22%
18) Mario 1992-93 (Pitts.) -- 43.60% (despite missing 20-odd games)

(I also suspect Wayne was around 42-43% of L.A.'s goals late in 1995-96 when he was traded to St.Louis, and there are a few other seasons where each player is bubbling just under 43%, but whatever....)

There must be other examples of player total scoring points hitting similar levels? (My 43% here is just arbitrary, but seems a decent cutting-off point for elite team-scoring dominance.)


Then, how many players have scored 20.00+ % of their team's goals?

In 1988-89, Mario scored 24.50% of Pittsburgh's goals, and 21.94% of them in 1987-88. In 1981-82, Wayne scored 22.06% of Edmonton's goals. Esposito scored exactly 20% of Boston's goals in 1971-72. In 1989-90, Brett Hull scored 24.41% of St.Louis's goals, 27.74% in 1990-91, 25.09% in 1991-92. In 1999-00, Pavel Bure scored 23.77% of Florida's goals, and then a staggering 29.5% in 2000-01. Selanne scored 23.60% of Winnipeg's goals in 1992-93.

I'm sure there are several other examples (esp. more historical ones) that I'm missing...?

About assists: Wayne Gretzky assisted on 38.27% of Edmonton's goals in 1985-86. I didn't run all the math, but it seems he was around 32-33% most of the Edmonton years, and about the same (slightly less) in L.A. But he also hits 35.88% of L.A.'s goals in 1990-91 and 34.01% of NYR's goals during 1997-98.

(Mario, btw, assists on 30.72% of Pittsburgh's goals in 1987-88, 32.85% in 1988-89, and -- his highest, amazingly -- 33.33% of the woeful 2002-03 Pens, despite missing those 15 games!)

Who else -- maybe a defenceman -- could challenge Wayne's team-assists dominance?

I asked about this just the other day in the Naslund/Forsberg thread when I caculated their %. Naslund was 39% and Forsberg 41% in 02/03. Forsberg despite missing 7 games. Also got this from K Fleur:

Mario has the NHL record at 57.3%(88-89)

I know Ovechkin was at 47% in (07-08)

Going for offensive dynamos who at one or more points was on really bad teams is the way to go I would guess. And ones that wasn´t injury prone...

My first tought when seeing that it now was an own topic fell on that Bure ridicilous 00/01 season. He had points on 46% of Floriads goals that season (and as you write, scored 29,5% of Floridas goals himself).

Yzerman in 88/89 had an point on 49,5% of Detroits goals and scored 20,7% of the goals himself.

I think Jagrs greatest will be in 98/99 with 52,47% on Pittsburgsh goals that season.

Lindros had an point on 46,66% of Phillys goals in 94/95. And he missed 2 games that season.

Oates best assist seasons:
90/91 29% (despite only 61GP)
92/93 29,2%
00/01 29,6%

Thornton assists:
05/06 27% (despite only 58GP)
06/07 35,6%

Others probable too look at could be Marcel Dionne, Crosby, more Jagr seasons...

I'm sure there are several other examples (esp. more historical ones) that I'm missing...?

If you go too far back (say to the 1920's), given the smaller roster and greater ice time for star players, it becomes common to see players being involved in 40%+ of their team's scoring. It's pretty easy to find examples involving Morenz, Malone, Denneny, etc. Might be better to restrict the topic to, say, 1950 to present, for more comparable situations.

Then, how many players have scored 20.00+ % of their team's goals?

Hull scored 27.7% of his team's goals in 1991. (Many of the players listed were over 20% in other seasons too, but not going to type out all the results).

Ovechkin scored 26.9% of his team's goals in 2008.

Iginla scored 25.9% of his team's goals in 2002.

Stamkos scroed 25.5% of his team's goals in 2012.

Selanne scored 23.6% of his team's goals in 1993.

Howe scored 21.9% of his team's goals in 1952.

Sakic scored 20.3% of his team's goals in 1991.

Who else -- maybe a defenceman -- could challenge Wayne's team-assists dominance?

Jagr earned an assist on 34.3% of his team's goals in 1999.

 

[MXD]

The first I thought about was Elmer Lach in 47-48, as he won the Art Ross on a team that couldn't score at all.

61/147 = 41.49%

 

[Czech Your Math]

Some of the best besides Wayne & Mario:

1999 Jagr 52.5%
1999 Selanne 49.8%
1989 Yzerman 49.5%
2006 Jagr 49.2%
2006 Thornton 49.1%*
2002 Iginla 47.8%
2008 Ovechkin 47.1%
1999 Kariya 47.0%
1996 Kariya 46.2%
2006 Ovechkin 46.1%
1957 Howe 44.9%
2007 Crosby 44.9%
1998 Jagr 44.7%
2007 Thornton 44.5%
1997 Selanne 44.5%
2008 Thornton 44.4%
2008 Malkin 44.2%
1990 Yzerman 44.1%
2009 Malkin 43.8%
2001 Sakic 43.7%
1970 Orr 43.3%

*pro-rated by GP for each team... when player is traded it tends to boost his %, as each team's GPG should go down without him

 

[The Panther]

Thanks for the responses! It appears Jagr's 1998-99 production is the only one we've identified, post-1920s anyway, where a player besides Mario & Wayne scored a point on more than 50% of the team's overall goals. Are there any more?

I guess circa 1998-99 there are still some elite forwards of the deep mid-1990s pool (Jagr, Selanne, etc.) but the dead-puck era has just arrived in full-force, and those talented forwards dominate the team's scoring even more than in previous years.

 

[Voight]

I'm surprised to see Orr there.

 

[feffan]

I'm surprised to see Orr there.

Me to. Tought Esposito and him would equal each other out. But Espositos down year (99TP being the only season under 126 from 68/69-74/75). I tought it was Esposito who could have had the biggest % of that Boston time. But Boston was an scoring machine, so even his 152 TP season "only" had him 38%. His 68/69 is probably his greatest (haven´t checked all...). Before Orrs real offensive break trough and the team really had heated up. Those 126TP where good for 41,6%.

[The Panther]

Thanks for the informative responses everyone. I'm gonna try to summarize the results we've uncovered, so far (there will be more, I'm sure). Let's call this "from World War II to the present":

Players Dominating their Teams' Points scoring, per-season:

1) Mario Lemieux 1988-89 (Pitts.) -- 57.35%
2) Mario Lemieux 1987-88 (Pitts.) -- 52.66%
3) Jaromir Jagr 1998-99 (Pitts.) -- 52.48%
4) Wayne Gretzky 1984-85 (Edm.) -- 51.87%
5) Wayne Gretzky 1981-82 (Edm.) -- 50.84%
6) Wayne Gretzky 1985-86 (Edm.) -- 50.47%
7) Wayne Gretzky 1980-81 (Edm.) -- 50.00%
8) Teemu Selanne 1998-99 (Ana.) -- 49.77%
9) Steve Yzerman 1988-89 (Det.) -- 49.52%
10) Jaromir Jagr 2005-06 (NYR) -- 49.20%
11) Wayne Gretzky 1986-87 (Edm.) -- 49.19%
12) Mario Lemieux 2002-03 (Pitts.) -- 48.15% (despite missing 15 games)

Those are all the ones we've so far identified at 48.0% or higher. So maybe we can say 48.0% is the uber-degree of dominating one's team scoring.

(NOTE: I don't know what to do with Joe Thornton in 2005-06, because of his trade. As Czech Your Math suggested, he's probably around the magical 48%, but I lack the time/stats to accurately figure it out.)




Players Dominating their Teams' Goal scoring, per-season:

1) Pavel Bure 2000-01 (Flor.) -- 29.5%
2) Brett Hull 1990-91 (St.L) -- 27.74%
3) Alexander Ovechkin 2007-08 (Wash.) -- 26.86%
4) Jarome Iginla 2001-02 (Calg.) -- 25.87%
5) Steven Stamkos 2001-12 (Tampa) -- 25.53%
6) Brett Hull 1991-92 (St.L) -- 25.09%
7) Maurice Richard 1949-50 (Mon.) -- 25.00%
8) Mario Lemieux 1988-89 (Pitts.) -- 24.50%
9) Brett Hull 1989-90 (St.L) -- 24.41%
10) Maurice Richard 1950-51 (Mon.) -- 24.28%
11) Maurice Richard 1946-47 (Mon.) -- 23.81%
12) Pavel Bure 1999-00 (Flor.) -- 23.77%
13) Teemu Selanne (Winn.) 1992-93 -- 23.60%
14) Bobby Hull (Chi.) 1961-62 -- 23.04%
15) Bobby Hull (Chi.) 1965-66 -- 22.50%
16) Gordie Howe (Det.) 1956-57 -- 22.22%
17) Gordie Howe (Det.) 1952-53 -- 22.07%
18) Wayne Gretzky 1981-82 (Edm.) -- 22.06%

Those are all the ones we've so far identified at 22.0% or higher.

(It seems crazy that Esposito in '71 and Gretzky in '84 don't make the list, but of course it's because their teams were scoring so many goals that they land at just under 20%.)



Players Dominating their Teams' Assists scoring, per-season:

1) Wayne Gretzky 1985-86 (Edm.) -- 38.27%
2) Wayne Gretzky 1990-91 (L.A.) -- 35.88%
3) Joe Thornton 2006-07 (San J.) -- 35.66%
4) Jaromir Jagr 1998-99 (Pitts.) -- 34.30%
5) Wayne Gretzky 1997-98 (NYR) -- 34.01%
6) Mario Lemieux 2002-03 (Pitts.) -- 33.33% (despite missing 15 games)
7) Wayne Gretzky 1984-85 (Edm.) -- 33.67%
8) Wayne Gretzky 1980-81 (Edm.) -- 33.23%
9) Mario Lemieux 1988-89 (Pitts.) -- 32.85%
10) Wayne Gretzky 1986-87 (Edm.) -- 32.53%
11) Wayne Gretzky 1991-92 (L.A.) -- 31.36%
12) Wayne Gretzky 1993-94 (L.A.) -- 31.29%
13) Mario Lemieux 1987-88 (Pitts.) -- 30.72%
14) Wayne Gretzky 1989-90 (L.A.) -- 30.18%
15) Wayne Gretzky 1987-88 (Edm.) -- 30.03% (despite missing 16 games)

Those are all the ones we've so far identified at 30.0% or higher.

(NOTE: Again, I don't know what to do with Joe Thornton in 2005-06, because of the two teams. He would likely be very high on this list, maybe 3rd or 4th.... Likewise, Gretzky in 1995-96.)


I'm sure there are player/seasons missing, so add more if anyone finds any.

 

[Sens Rule]

Gretzky's 97/98 season is pretty amazing. Considering it was his 20th pro season on a terrible team. Leads the league in assists. 3rd in points only 1 behind a peak age Forsberg on a stacked team.

The fact 97/98 actually outranks many of his prime/peak seasons in scoring dominance on his team is so amazing.

Especially when he had so clearly aged a ton and was banged up compared to his prime.

 

[BenchBrawl]

Lafleur is one player to verify.

 

[Hockey Outsider]

Lafleur is one player to verify.

Lafleur isn't close to making the leaderboards due to the offensive depth on his teams.

Best season for goals: 16.7% (1978)
Best season for assists: 22.9% (1980) - despite missing six games
Best season for points: 38.3% (1979)

====

One more addition to the goal-scoring list: in 2004, Rick Nash scored 23.2% of his team's goals.

 

[The Panther]

This lists are sort of academically interesting, but it's hard to say what conclusions can be drawn.

It tends to be the case that Gretzky and Lemieux are outliers, offensively, but in Lemieux's case you can see that his 1988-89 and 1987-88 are his most team-dominant, and that's because they're (a) his most productive point/goal seasons and (b) he was still playing on a not-very-deep team. By contrast, he's less team-dominant in the 90s when his team was more stacked with scorers (although his injuries in '92-'93 reduce his team dominance greatly). Likewise, Mario is very assist-dominant in 2002-03 when the Pens were a terrible team. So, actually, Lemieux's 'patterns' of team dominance aren't really outlier-type stats -- they make sense, logically.

Gretzky's don't, in a sense, because his level of team-domination stays very consistent from 1981 to 1998, almost regardless of team success or teammates. It seems that whatever team he played for, at any time, he would be factoring into 45%-51% of the scoring.

It's also interesting that two players from 1998-99 (Jagr; Selanne) make the points-domination list. This strikes me as a period when scoring was going way down, individual teams weren't as deep with scorers, but certain teams still depended on their 90s' super-scorers to lead them. (Likewise, Lemieux in '03.)

Also, props to Maurice Richard, who has 3 of the top-11 goal-domination seasons in history (none during WWII). By contrast, Howe and Hull don't have any such seasons in the top-13.

Odd how the Pens have the 3 most player-scoring dominant seasons ever....

 

[Homer Glumplich*]

fwiw Bondra always seemed to dominate the Caps goal scoring. It was always something like Bondra 52 Konowalchuk 17 Oates 10 with the rest of the team on IR

 

[Hockey Outsider]

fwiw Bondra always seemed to dominate the Caps goal scoring. It was always something like Bondra 52 Konowalchuk 17 Oates 10 with the rest of the team on IR

Good catch. Bondra was over the 22% barrier three times - he scored 25.0% of his team`s goals in 1995, 23.7% in 1998 and 22.7% in 1996.

 

[Eple]

Good catch. Bondra was over the 22% barrier three times - he scored 25.0% of his team`s goals in 1995, 23.7% in 1998 and 22.7% in 1996.

I imagine he's not not up there with Bondra, but how did Rick Nash do in his Rocket Richard winning season?

EDIT: didn't notice you had already answered that one These are definitely interesting.

I found a database online that take trades into account (ie Joe Thornton's numbers are split between his time in Boston and San Jose in 2006). I can't guarantee all of the numbers are accurate but I did some spot checks and everything looks good.

Note that it's difficult for players traded mid-season to earn a spot on this list as each players' results aren't consolidated for the entire season. (Otherwise Thornton almost certainly would have earned a spot on the assists list).

I excluded data prior to 1945. Apologies for the poor formatting of the players' names (someone can clean it up if they want) but here are the results:

Points - 48% threshold

Players | Season | Team | Points | TeamG | Percentage
lemiema01 | 1989 | PIT | 199 | 347 | 57.3%

We had identified 17 put of 21. The four we were missing were Selanne (1998), Kovalchuk (2008), Sloan (1956) and Stamkos (2010). We had the wrong year for Bure (it should have been 2000 instead of 1998).

Accomplished by Richard 3x, Brett Hull 3x, Selanne 2x, Stamkos 2x, Bure 2x, Bondra 2x and everyone else once each (Lemieux, Bobby Hull, Ovechkin, Kovalchuk, Iginla, Nash, Sloan).

I never would have guessed Tod Sloan's 1956 season qualifies.

We missed a lot of these. Maybe 31% or 32% is a better cut-off.

Accomplished by Gretzky 11x, Lemieux 3x, Gilmour 2x, Thornton 2x, Sedin 2x, M. Savard 2x and everyone else once each (Clarke, Crosby, Forsberg, Jagr, Malkin, Orr, D. Savard, St. Louis, Weight, Zetterberg).

If we use the more restrictive 32% cut-off, this was done by Gretzky 6x, Lemieux 2x, and once each by everyone else (Gilmour, Jagr, M. Savard, Sedin, Thornton, Weight).

Nice one!


All hail Todd Sloan.

sorry for the bump but is there an update on this stat or a database anywhere?

i know mcdavid in 2020-21 was in on 57.38% (a new record i guess) and there have been a few others near 50% including kucherov this year.

i've been thinking that one of the things that makes the kucherov/mackinnon/mcdavid race so impressive is that they're all dominating team scoring at historically high levels (all over 45% currently).
