The dead puck era (1996-97 - 2003-04) is obviously known for it's clutching & grabbing/low scoring, and most adjusted playoff stats are not seen as having any value. I've said here before that scoring lowers even more in the playoffs, which I'm sure many here know. Just not sure to the extent people realize how hard it was to put up points in the playoffs in this time period.
Here are the leaders in points per game in the playoffs during the dead puck era:
1. Peter Forsberg - 1.21
2. Jaromir Jagr - 1.21
3. Joe Sakic - 1.04
4. Mike Modano - .94
5. Sergei Fedorov - .91
6. Mats Sundin - .89
7. Doug Weight - .84
8. Steve Yzerman - .84
9. Pierre Turgeon - .83
10. Martin Straka - .81
11. Donald Audette - .80
12. Brett Hull - .77
13. Rod Brind'Amour - .76
14. Patrik Elias - .76
15. Alex Kovalev - .76
16. Gary Roberts - .75
17. Nicklas Lidstrom - .73
18. Al MacInnis - .73
19. Jeremy Roenick - .72
20. Brendan Shanahan - .72
21. Mark Recchi - .71
22. Daniel Alfredsson - .70
23. Petr Sykora - .70
For further details such as games played, total points, etc. see here:http://www.hockey-reference.com/pla...at=&c4comp=gt&c4val=&order_by=points_per_game
I guess my main point here is, a point per game in the playoffs in the dead puck era, isn't quite the same as a point per game in the playoffs in other era's, by more than I thought.
23 players with a .7 points per game or higher in this period.
11 with .8 or higher.
5 with .9 or higher.
Only 3 averaging over a point per game in this period combined.
Thoughts?
