54 Years Ago Today: Bobby Hull Makes NHL History With The Chicago Blackhawks Organization
Bobby Hull became the first player in NHL history to have four 50-goal seasons on March 5, 1969, when he scored twice in the Chicago Blackhawks' 4-4 tie with the New York Rangers. He set a new league record by scoring 58 goals in the 1968�1969 campaign. Maurice Richard and Bernie Geoffrion, two legendary Montreal Canadiens players, were the only other players to have 50-goal seasons at the time.
When Marcel Dionne scored in a 3-3 draw with the Pittsburgh Penguins on March 5, 1977, he became the first player in Los Angeles Kings history to record a 100-point season. He also made NHL history by amassing 100 points for two separate clubs after scoring 121 points in 1974�75 with the Detroit Red Wings. He picked up an assist in a 6-0 victory over the Penguins eight years later to become the first NHL player to have eight seasons with 100 points.
