Caufield 16G in his last 18GP

[JianYang]

Because he had Markov and Subban feeding him off the rush. IIRC, the duo combined for assists on more than 60% of Pac's goals in the time we had both Ds in the lineup.

It makes sense. Pacioretty was clinical in transition, and the guys you mentioned were excellent at long passes in transition. Petry was decent at it as well.

DeBrincat 2.0

Nope. Debrincat is a one-timer master who needs feeds and a goalie laterally scrambling for position to score, and scores a lot on the powerplay. Caufield is a master at wrist shots who scores mostly at even-strenght, often while carrying the puck, which is something Cat doesn't do nearly as regularly.

Caufield has the tools to score more goals than Cat.

I'm not sure how sustainable his 31% shooting percentage is this year, but I'm here for it.

I suspect it will hold up all season along with his 73 goal pace

 

[Lshap]

I'm not sure how sustainable his 31% shooting percentage is this year, but I'm here for it.

Last season, Caufield scored 28 goals with an unsustainably low 8.9 SH%.

Yup. Very different players. Cat scores and is no fun to play against. He has meanness to his game. Caufield can score.

You are just a jealous person.

I only see quality posts from him. Another Devil fan to cheer on the habs

He won't but guys who are known to put the puck in the net will have certain stretches of high shooting percentage from time to time over the course of 82 games.

Yeah he's definitely due for a season between 15-20%.

I think healthy Cole can shoot 15ish with consistency. That's usually about the mark for a guy with an elite shot. At that rate the rest of the way, on his current average of 3 SOG per night, that would have him finish with 42 goals.

The real question is whether or not Montreal as a team can stop getting caved in every night. That's probably the biggest hinderance to his goal scoring right now.

Like I said, I'm here for it. Cole seems like a good kid, would love to see him hit 50+.

We really need to stop with these “streak” threads which combine the ending of one regular season with the beginning of that next regular season. Such a sham

The point of the thread is not to pretend Caufield will maintain this pace, but to illustrate that he's back to his previous ways, before his shoulder surgery.

He's pretty much a lock for 50 in 50 and 70+ goals this year. If you disagree then bro you just don't know hockey bro, cope harder bro. Weird take bro.

 

[HeadLiceHatty]

Guy has great goal scoring ability, we all saw it when he was a prospect, he dropped way too far in the draft, I threw some shit when the Flyers drafted York, even though he's been a decent steady dman. None of this is really suprising to me. Every team needs size sure, but the "size" factoring in to real talented guys dropping in the draft is becoming ridiculous, we don't live in the clutch n grab era anymore, when will GM's just realize this?

Faboulous contribution my friend. Keep up the good fight.

hes evening out his 8.9 S% from last season

point is hes obviously breaking out... call it a sham all you want

 

[TheOrganist]

Watching him against the Blues on Saturday, that 4th goal was impressive. Elite shot for sure.
