Ratio between goals of #1 goalscorer and his team' goals 1946 - 2023 RS + PO

[Namba 17]

Sorry for the presentation, but I didn't find a way to insert table in more or less sutable format.
Here is a ratio between goals, scored by top goalscorer of a certain team to all goals scored by the team
I took all goalscorers since 46/47 who were top NHL goalscorers at least once.
First column is the season, second is goals of top-scorer, 3d - goals of the team, 4th is marked if he was #1 goalscorer in the NHL of the season, the last one - the ratio in %.
I think its very interesting.
TBO, for the whole picture, I should do the same for the whole #1 goalscorers of each team of each season, but it's, definitely, too much of a task for me

[VanIslander]

Howe, Hull, Esposito, Ovechkin... where the hell is Gretzky?

 

[Michael Farkas]

Basically right in the middle of the list...

 

[MadLuke]

Crtl-F Gretzky

 

[VanIslander]

Thank you for getting the point.

 

[The Panther]

Lemieux
92/93 69 367 18,8

Gretzky
83/84 87 446 1 19,51

Kurri
85/86 68 426 1 15,96

Just for interest's sake, if you change the above Lemieux and Gretky seasons to their goals-per-team only in the games they played in:

Lemieux
92/93 69/292 23.6%
Gretzky
83/84 87/427 20.4%

About Jari Kurri, I'm not sure why the OP didn't also include his best season, 1984-85. His goals that year are:

Kurri
84/85 71/401 17.7%
However, he appeared in only 73 games, so doing it again only in the games he played in:
84/85 71/366 19.4%

 

[Yozhik v tumane]

About Jari Kurri, I'm not sure why the OP didn't also include his best season, 1984-85. His goals that year are:

It says in the title that it only looks at the team’s #1 goal scorer, and Gretzky had 73 goals that season.

 

[The Panther]

It says in the title that it only looks at the team’s #1 goal scorer, and Gretzky had 73 goals that season.

Right-o.

 

[VanIslander]

Any stat that suggests 11 players were better goal scorers, more productive at a high level than Gretz, and that list includes Perry & Nash? .... burn the list. It lies.

5 or 7, without Perry and Nash, i could stomach. Facts?

 

[VanIslander]

To be clear: there is no universe where Perry or Nash are better goal scorers than Gretzky.

Buckle up:

Stats dont suggest anything.
It's just numbers
People suggest
The problem with statistics is not that it lies. Its that people dont know how to understand what it means.

 

[VanIslander]

Context, implication is everything.

That's why "stats lie".

 

[JackSlater]

No, the stats don't lie if they were calculated correctly. People make inferences that could be right or wrong. The list presents data, not conclusions like that Perry or Nash was a better goal scorer than Gretzky. Someone would have to be nearly clueless about hockey and its history to reach the conclusion you claim the data implies.

I don't know if anything in particular stands out here, but there is some interest. Elite goal scorers who didn't really function as playmakers as well or who played on teams with little depth stand out the most.

This makes next to no sense, I would have failed my career and education if I said something like this.

 

[GlitchMarner]

The list indicates that Nash scored a higher percentage of his team's goals in 2004 compared to Gretzky in 1982.

Considering the difference in offensive talent between those teams and the goal totals for each player in each season (actual and adjusted), in no way does that mean Nash was a better peak goal scorer than Gretzky.

Gretzky's best percentage scores are actually higher than Perry's, so I don't know what he has to do with anything.

[MadLuke]

Context, implication is everything.

Implication is almost at least about team support than the scorer, for example:

That 2 back to back Pavel Bure season

00/01 59 200 1 29,5%
99/00 58 244 1 23,77%

Would anyone imply from this that he was a much better goal scorer in 00-01 than 99-00, because he scored one more goal ? It is a giant gap, 24 vs 30%...

Or that Kozlov-Withney got injured and so on...

Anyone on the history message board would have some sense than a Gretzky team will score a lot more non Gretzky goal deflating is percentage versus a Colombus Rick Nash team.

 

[Namba 17]

I continue to investigate the subject.
Now Im working on the same table for PO for the same players.
First thing, that catch my attention - how extremely rare it was for the #1 goalscorer of the season to keep it in the PO.
Since 1946/47 season there were only 5 players and 6 seasons when #1 goalscorer of the NHL became #1 goalscorer of the PO.
Without looking - can you name them?

 

[MadLuke]

Without looking anything Hum tempted to try Gretzky-Bossy-Richard-Lafleur.....

Esposito-Geoffrion-Howe being other name that pop up has possible.

 

[Michael Farkas]

Richard, Espo...I'd be pretty confident with those guesses...

I'm gonna take a shot and say Kurri and the one Ovechkin run...

Lafleur...? He must have led in goals at some point in that dynasty...

So that's five...I wonder if there's some goofball case like, I don't know, Corey Perry or something that breaks the mold...

 

[Namba 17]

Lets wait for a bit (1-2 hours) and I'll name them
But all your takes were good ones

 

[MadLuke]

and say Kurri

I thought of Kurri but did chicken out thinking he must did not win the most goal in a seasons that often and had to beat Gretzky, Anderson and or Messier in the playoff the few time he won the rocket....

 

[Namba 17]

My bad. I have to apologise.
I totally forgot about one player.
The right answer should be:
Since 1946/47 season there were only 5 players and 6 seasons when #1 goalscorer of the NHL became #1 goalscorer of the PO and won SC
Cause there was one extremely mysterious year I forgot Do you know what am I talking about? (we have 2 questions now)
