TOM BLADON

Dec. 11, 1977 philadelphia 11, cleveland 1

HALL OF FAME DEFENSEMAN Paul Coffey once had eight points in a game, but six of those were assists. Bobby Orr, acknowledged as the best defenseman of all-time, once had a seven-point game, including a hat trick.

But for many hockey observers, the greatest one-game offensive display by an NHL defenseman belongs to Flyers blueliner Tom Bladon, who scored four goals on the way to an eight-point night against the long-forgotten Barons. Bladon finished a remarkable plus-10 in the lopsided laugher as the Flyers scored all 11 of their goals at even strength.
