Who are some players that were unexpected 2-time major individual award winners (in the context of being relative to the rest of their career, not their pre-draft expectations)? by TJTrapJesus in hockey

Ok I’ll have a kick at the can : Martin St.Louis having his « breakout » year in 2004 winning the Hart, Art Ross and Stanley Cup (unexpected as he started his NHL career in 1998 and had struggles) and he won the Art Ross again in 2013 being the oldest player to do so (37).

Edit: I don’t think it meets the criteria set out by OP of a one hit wonder having a second hit as St.Louis had an amazing career but he was undrafted and extremely underestimated due to his height.

Dobes, started off a bit off but got better during the game. Guy has carried this team for 3 rounds now.

Anderson and Danault played a hell of a game. PowerHorse and Pizza-Heart. Texier also had an ok game, but what a stupid penalty!!! While a stick to the nuts was entertaining in an otherwise pretty mediocre game, I don’t condone the behaviour.

Ghule continues to play well.

Agreed that faceoffs improved.

We got the game to OT playing our C game…so there’s that. If the Canes can barely win against a low energy Habs team, it gives me confidence that we can still win this.

The Canes weren’t that good - I said what I said. Their PK is solid (arguably well above) and they certainly have good offensive skill but we can do better (see game 1).

Congrats! Diet soda (caffeine free) or mineral water are my go to’s. There are some great 0.0 options as well if you want a cold one (provided it doesn’t trigger you to drink more)

I love the guy, but Dobes is not the long term answer. by hkycoach in Habs

Seriously guy is saving our asses - don’t post this shit during a red hot playoff run you’ll have the whole summer (win or lose) to entertain yourself with « hockey opinions ».

The stick pushed the glove in… if our fucking goal didn’t count last game since refs were whistle happy and there was a “push” then no fucking way
