Emotions always seem to run high in these Habs threads for whatever reason. This is a hell of a steak and not something you see often outside of the Ovechkin/Matthews tier of scorers. Hopefully he can keep it up, or at least close to it. Would make a fun storyline for the season.

This is the sort of thing I missed when scoring was down in the 2000s and 2010s.

He's 8 goals in 9 games this year

What have you to say about that?
Id say that is a much better title for a thread given the season we are in. This one has vibes of the Jets 20 game win streak they're on currently.

I like him as a player but hate cherry picking stats to build a narrative. Every sane person would round up to the nearest 5 or 10 instead of purposely going back as many games as possible before it starts to negatively affect the narrative.

He has 16 goals in his last 24 games
He has 17 goals in his last 37 games

See what I did there. Much better pumping up this season only.

Why are we dating back to last year? And why stop at 18?

Because he had surgery to his shoulder and had a piss poor s% when he came back. 18 games ago is when his shot seemed to be coming back. It was noticeable. And it has even more whip to it since the season started. He had somewhere around 19% in those last 9 games, now he's over 30%. Not saying he'll stay at 30%, but as a 23 years old, he's still blossoming and this might be a sign that he's breaking out.

Also, from the point where MSL started as coach up to his surgery, he had 48 goals in 83 games, so the present sequence shows he might be back to this form or even better as he's still progressing and developing as a player.

That goal he scored against the blues this week, is the kind of goal we'd see him do before his surgery, but not after, not until the last 10 games last season.

theres always someone.... gimme a break

fact of the matter is he has 16 goals in his last 18 NHL games.... Thats it. Thats all Im saying.

You want to make seem like its not that impressive (because I assume youre not a Habs fan), be my guest. "OH but what about his last 24 games????".... Just dumb.

Or just brag about his 8 goals in 9 games. That is very impressive in itself. I love Caufield and was hoping he fell to my team during the draft.

Going back to last season which is 7 months ago now and purposely stopping at April 2nd because he didnt score on March 30th is just silly. Its not like he had surgery and came back that game. He had a rough Feb/Mar of last season. It is what it is.
