Jonathan Canuck Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 When Steve Stamkos scored his 50th goal of the season on March 13th, he joined a prestigious club. In NHL history, there had only been seven men, prior to Stamkos, to score 50 goals in a season twice before their 23rd birthdays. Other than Steve Stamkos, and Wayne Gretzky (because lets face it, Gretzky is the answer to every NHL record for scoring) name the 5 other NHL players to score 50 goals twice in 1 season before they turn 23 years old. Extra points if you can name the seasons. Will update as answers are given so you don't have to scroll through to see who has answered. 1. Steve Stamkos 2. Wayne Gretzky 3. Pavel Bure (from Liberace) 4. Mario Lemeiux (from superdomo) 5. Alex Ovechkin (also superdomo) 6. Mike Bossy (Bob.Loblaw) 7. Joe Niewendyk (Stizz19) NOTE: This should go without saying, but google-ing this and answering just wastes everyone's time. Trolls please GTFO.

Stark Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Mario Lemieux, definitely. I remember Ovechkin did it a few years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Korea Bob.Loblaw Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 So... name players who've scored 50 TWICE before 23, right? You've even bolded the instructions for us, but you still typed it wrong! Lemieux when he was 22,23.... and Ovie when he was... 20 and 22? I think Mike Bossy could be one of them too.

Jonathan Canuck Posted March 18, 2012 Author Share Posted March 18, 2012 #7 is the one I would never have thought of. Good luck to all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franz Liszt Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 After reading the list, I put two and two together. And when you said "#7 is the one I would never have thought of", I had to think real hard. I was looking up stats around Christmas time, and I remember reading the 50-goal stat. He used to be a Canuck, but he accomplished this feat while a Maple Leaf. RICK VAIVE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stizz19 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I heard this on some spots channel last week after Stamkos did it and I remember them saying Joe Nieuwendyk did that. I wouldn't have guessed that in a million years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Rick Vaive did have two consecutive 50-goal seasons, I know that, but I'm not sure how old he was when he did that. Because he was already guessed, I'll guess Jimmy Carson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan Canuck Posted March 18, 2012 Author Share Posted March 18, 2012 Short lived, but trivia is always fun. Like I said, Joe Niewendyk is really tough.. If I was told it was a flame I would have said Theo or Lanny... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
