63. Rick Vaive

Regardless of the era, scoring 50 goals in three consecutive seasons is an impressive statistic. Even though it was the wide-open early 80’s that saw Rick Vaive accomplish that feat, remember he did so for a brutal Harold Ballard organization that saw the worst of the Toronto Maple Leafs. Vaive had a killer slapshot and used that skill to net 441 career goals. Because Vaive played with so many bad teams, his career is often forgotten, but he was often to only bright light on many teams in the 1980s.
