OK straighten up,I have a hockey question?

Question

What player had the greatest turnaround from a previous year in NHL history?NOT including injuries.

ALSO

What player on your favorite team had the greatest turnaround In your opinion?

Answer 1

Don't know about the greatest......BUT Ty Conklin comes to mind when you say turnaround...........

2006-2007 =

Blue Jackets - 11 games played - 2 wins - 3 loses - 2 OTL - 3.3 GA - .871 S%

Sabres - 5 games - 1 win - 2 loses - 3.44 GA - .892 S%

2007-2008 =

Penguins - 33 games - 18 wins - 8 loses - 5 OTL - 2.51 GA - .923 S% (Second overall)

Not the greatest, but it was a helluva turnaround if you ask me.

Answer 2

Sergei Samsonov. 26 pts, -4 in 06-07. 4 assists with he blackhawks in the first half of 07-08.

In the last 38 games in carolina, He put up 32 points. On pace for roughly 75 points.

Same player for both answers...

Answer 3

Dan Cleary wasn't even going to have a job in the NHL before the Wings signed him and now he's one of our best 2 way forwards and a 20 goal scorer.

Answer 4

Mike Rupp looked pretty darn good this past year.

Answer 5

For me i'm a huge habs fan so Kovalev's increase last year i believe fits both bills as one of the biggest in recent memory and by far the biggest for my team, 47 points the year before to 84 last year.

Answer 6

Franzen Zherdev Kovalev Horton Hemsky Briere Richards ( Brad and Mike) and Streit

Answer 7

There are too many too list.

Detroit - Johan Franzen. He exploded like a cannon towards the end of the year and well into the playoffs.

Columbus - Nikolai Zherdev. He actually scored points this year! And then we traded him away.

Answer 8

chris osgood (goalie)- from a backup to a reliable starter

mike green (defense)-from 12 pts to 58 in one year.

brad boyes (forward)-43 goal.... 27 more than the previous season

Answer 9

Most recently, the one that comes to mind is Briere.  Man, that kid impressed me in the 2007 season.  From a 58 points +3....to 95 points +17.

Vincent Lecavalier going from like 75 points to 108 was pretty impressive.  

Also, since everybody LOVES being a homer....St. Louis went from 61 points to 102 in a season.
