“My first year, I scored 18 goals in 50 games. The second year was tougher. The first one, nobody expects anything from you. You can only surprise people. When you do well, the expectations go higher. But it’s probably worse because everyone around the league is now paying attention to you.”
— Canucks winger Radim Vrbata
Radim Vrbata was a 20-year-old rookie with the Colorado Avalanche in 2001-02. In his second National Hockey League season, Vrbata scored 11 times in 66 games before he was traded to the Carolina Hurricanes.
