Player Discussion: Brayden Point - Part 3

[OffBy1]

Point is only 2 goals behind the league leader. I'd love for him to get the Richard.

Shows you how far intelligences gets you. Decenct shot, elite speed, but his smarts is what sets him apart

2 goals behind with 6 less games. Not bad

I can't think of another goal-scorer with his skillset. He depends so little on the strength of his shot.

Would be nice for him to win an individual award

 

[Rschmitz]

That's a 70 game projection. He'll get to 60 G's if he stays healthy

Paces during a hot streak typically aren't a reliable basis. Would love to be wrong but he isn't going to hold these numbers.

He's also shooting at a 36.5% rate, which should certainly go down.

Hah, I said that a few weeks ago when he was in the mid 20's. But yeah.

Im not sure what the NHL record is but sure he would beat it

 

[DFC]

If you count the last two seasons plus this one, is my math wrong or does Brayden Point have the most goals in the NHL over that span?

No need to trust your math.

Since Pastrnak also scored one tonight they'll be tied for first at 121 once the page gets updated.

 

[DFC]

Yeah, and Matthews at 120.

That's insane.

 

[StammerHammer]

Who would have thought Point would become that player?
So glad he's a Lightning.

He's a Bolt, not a Lightning.

 

[Renopucker]

He and Kuch don’t even (hardly) smile when they score. That's the mark of a large, swinging member, that knows there is only ONE goal they are trying to achieve.

My mind thought you were going somewhere else saying large, swinging member and I was about to say wrong site.

 

[DFC]

Another fun stat: Kucherov and Point are 1 and 2 league wide in P/60.

 

[LightningStrikes]

His puck handling in tight space and with limited time is just amazing lately. He makes it look so easy and there’s probably just a handful of players on this planet able to pull this off and so consistently.

It's his ability to know exactly how much time and space he has, I think. If he has time to make a move, he makes it. If he doesn't, he shoots. He just always seems to know if the split second he has is long enough.

I was really shocked to see that he's tied for 1st in goals over the past 3 years. I mean, ample credit to Kuch, but still. It's amazing.

 

[Renopucker]

I’d still like to see him shoot more, particularly if he’s between the circles. Forces G to make a stop and possibly generate a rebound.

 

[OffBy1]

The reason I'm enjoying him being in the running for most goals is he'd finally get official recognition for how good he's been for this team.
