But if they were once electric with the Blues and then faded or were traded, they’re on our list. They might have had success before and/or after their time in St.But if they had a good run and couldn’t replicate that same level, they’re on our list. Maybe, as was the case was with Babych, they got injured.
Players who had a good season - perhaps it stretched a little more than one season - and weren’t able to follow it up.Nonetheless, he heads The Athletic’s all-time Blues one-hit-wonder squad. In the history of the NHL, Babych’s 54 goals rank 75th overall in a single season, and just 38 players have accounted for the higher totals. Today, the accomplishment is still certainly one of which to be proud. I couldn’t do what I was capable of doing.” “How many can you score when you’re hurt? I was hurt for three years. “I scored 54 goals, and (the Blues) expected that year after year,” Babych once said. The injury cost him 30 games, and a forward who made a habit of going to the net was never the same. There was perhaps a reason for that: Babych suffered a torn rotator cuff when a linesman pulled him back from Winnipeg’s Jimmy Mann in a fight before the ’81-82 season. The aftermath was he never had more than 20 goals in a season, a total he reached with Pittsburgh in ’84-85. It’s unfair to call Babych a “one-year” wonder, but it’s legitimate to label him a “one-hit” wonder.
