It's almost comical how clutch he is.

Is that 3 OT goals in his last 6 games against Columbus? LOL, Has he scored the winner in the LAST THREE OT GAMES vs. CBJ?? Or am I forgetting a playoff game that went to OT? There are CBJ players who will forever be visited in their nightmares by Brayden Point.

I thought he had a rather poor game before that goal to be honest. Doing his best Kucherov impression sneezing points and all.

Yeah, he looks like he's on cruise control so far this year. Not too concerned though. He'll bump it up come playoff time.

Absolutely agree.

Stamkos looked fantastic again I thought. Point was forcing too many passes against a D that collapses the slot.

I might be wrong because it was well over a year ago, but I'm PRETTTY SURE this Stamkos was our best forward out the gate last season as well.

He has been extremely consistent on a game to game basis since his bounce back season, everything is just clicking with him.

Yeah, he looks crazy good.
 
I think I get Point's mentality: Several games back he was penetrating the opposition and creating with impunity but not getting rewarded with goals or assists. Snake-bitten -- and this really frustrates a guy like him. With Point, this always seems to lead to bouts of overthinking, rather than allowing his wonderful natural instincts to eventually result in points production. Right now he's even overthinking his overthinking.
 
He was doing much better early on but has just 10 points in his last 16 games. Hopefully, he turns things around soon.
 
Insane stat:
Brayden Point pulled Tampa Bay even and potted the late winner on Sunday – he has now scored 70.8% of his career postseason goals in either game-tying or go-ahead fashion (17 of 24). That’s the second highest such percentage among active players with at least 20 playoff goals, behind Nicklas Backstrom (72.2%; 26 of 36)
