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.
Cole Caufield breaking out
- Thread starter amnesiac
- Start date

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

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.

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.

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?

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

That’s great that he’s breaking out and looking good. Just not a fan Of calling it a “streak” that ends in one season and begin in the next. Like the recent jets thread.
