Name a player who during a season, when he was on the ice with his team short-handed, he scored more SH goals himself than the opponents scored PP goals.

There may be more than one answer to this question, but there is at least one. Not including players who scored a single SH goal in case that comes up.

 

[sr edler]

Yup, one goal. Enough to get the scoring title named after him.

It was given, or presented, to the league by Ross, hence the name. And Ross scored 60 or so goals in the NHA. He had 16 in 19 games one season, pretty good for a defenseman.

Best in the West

Between the first two expansions in the NHL, this gentleman was - arguably - the best defenseman in the West.

I'll go with Goring and Dionne.

Bill White?

Brett Hull definitely did it. I'm sure it's happened a couple of other times too, because I've seen it come up when researching +/- stats from the past, but I'd have to look up who they were.

Sprung From Springfield

Bill White?

Yes. Bill White was 28 years old when he arrived in the NHL, in 1967-68. Before the Kings purchased the rights to the players belonging to the Springfield Indians, White was toiling in the AHL. On the blueline with him in Springfield - for 30+ games in 1966-67 - were Dale Rolfe and Barclay Plager. Not a bad trio.

Free of charge, I'm offering to any budding or actual author both the title and subject of a what could be a terrific hockey book. The title: Sprung from Springfield; the subject, players like Bill White, Dale Rolfe and Ted Harris who toiled in Springfield - with Eddie Shore - before finally arriving in the NHL belatedly.

I wanna say Ilya Kovalchuk did this in 2012.

Among NHL forwards with at least 200 career goals, who are the only two who scored more goals on the power-play than at even-strength?

One has to be Tim Kerr.

Wow, did he ever lose a lot of hair by 1972. I bet that 71 final stressed him out or he tore it out from the Hawks lackadaisical forwards and their backchecking.

Good guess, but wrong.

Paul Gardner? Camille Henry?

(Not sure if Henry is eligible, as I'm not sure HSP's uncovered splits from the 50s count towards this?)

Paul Gardner is one.

I should have specified that this would only apply to players who started after the league started keeping track of power-plays goals. I don't know what Henry's career numbers would be, but for the last seven years of his career he had 35-ES and 23-PP.

I'll allow myself ... three picks, but two D's.

Holmstrom, Housley, Schneider.

I'm kinda 70% sure Holmstrom is one. And if there are two D's that could have come close to this, it's probably Housley and Schneider.

NVM, I thought Gardner was excluded.

So it's probably Gardner and Holmstrom

Yes, Holmstrom is the second one.

Close; he had 3 SHG and 4 PP goals against.

Hull is correct, and there is at least one more I've found.

After I answered that I checked and found two others:

Don Saleski '73-'74: 2-SHG, 1-PPA
Valeri Kamensky '92-'93: 3-SHG, 2-PPA

The other one I was thinking of is Peter Bondra 96/97, 4 SHG, 3 PGA.

 

[Sadekuuro]

I certainly never would have guessed Kamensky, though he was definitely an underrated player.

What were Hull's numbers?

 

[kmad]

I would have guessed Adam Henrique from the Devils' crazy PK season recently.

 

[reckoning]

what were hull's numbers?

91-92: 5-shg, 4-ppa

PPG Defensemen

Before Bobby Orr compiled 120 points in 76 games - in 1969-70 - which defensemen had more points than games played in a season?
