Card Notes
“Only five other Red Wings ever scored 33 goals in NHL season.”
Prior to 1963-64, indeed, there were only five players that would score 33 or more in a season wearing the red and white of the Detroit Red Wings.
Of course, Gordie Howe is the obvious, surpassing this random plateau 10 times before this card was produced. The others:
| 1949-50 | Sid Abel | 34 |
| 1947-48 | Ted Lindsay | 33 |
| 1943-44 | Carl Liscombe | 36 |
| 1943-44 | Mud Bruneteau | 35 |
As for Parker MacDonald, his 33 goal performance in 1962-63 turned out to be a career high. The record for most goals in a single season by a Red Wing player stands at 65, accomplished by Steve Yzerman in 1988-89.
