Geoffrion, who many view as the innovator of the slapshot, was the second player in NHL history – teammate Rocket Richard was the first – to score 50 goals in a season, in 1960-61. That same season he won the Hart Trophy as the NHL's most valuable player and the Art Ross Trophy as the league's leading scorer.
Hats off to a legend.
