I know it’s all rainbows right now but Pointer is sitting in 58 points in 65 games. < 1 point per game. He’s been so dominant in the playoffs and May be saving himself for that. We will see.
Definately a step back this year, hopefully an aberration. He’s the long term 1C, not sure we can expect Stammer to replicate this.

His ppg is actually better than it was last season, of course that being with Kucherov out for the whole year. And he was under ppg in 2020 as well. I wouldn't worry about it going into the playoffs.

Where do you get that? Do you know something everyone else doesn't or are you just guessing? We all saw the play but he's back and he seems to be skating fine. What I have seen is that Kuch, Heddy and Stammer have been in complete sync and that Pointer has been the odd man out - not to mention the probable fact that Kuch has been on a mission to feed Stammer.

Point would get a lot of 3rd assists if they were given. He is often the guy who enters the zone, penetrates, and establishes position. After he's done that, Hedman, Stammer, and Kuch do their tic-tac-toeing so Point's name doesn't appear in the scoring summary.

I need about tree fiddy
You got some people here stating definitively that Point is hurt and has been for a month. Then you've got some other people here stating definitively that Point is fine. The only thing that can really be stated definitively is that people who post on these pages don't know anything about the true state of Pointer's health.

Just wondering, is it normal that he's on the wing and Cirelli is playing 2-C? That's what daily faceoff is showing
Although no one knows, the likely inference is that Point is hurt. He was held out of games in the final few games of the season. He is playing wing, which never happens. And he does not appear to have his top gear in terms of acceleration.
He's also turning the puck over in situations where he never does. Our PP zone entry depends entirely on Point, and right now he doesnt have it.
Worried it's the hip again, because he shows flashes of his top gear, just like when it was injured last time, and it seems to be affecting his hands. Which I feel like a hip would do (while obviously having no clue).

Brayden Points skating is back to its normal ridiculous speed. He is on point, and Toronto is very slow on defense.

I think so as well. He was just plain ineffective in anything he tried to do. Had the puck stripped from him often, something we are not used to seeing. Passing was off could not connect with the puck when he was in the slot. And the shootout attempt just bad.
