David Pastrnak has heat up after a slow start

He’s too good to not end up with 100+ points, though I think there’s enough Hart candidates who were better the first 35 games or so where I’m not sure he’d deserve top 5
 
If he finishes the year as hot as he’s been the last 12 games he’ll finish with around 114 points. Not sure if that will be top 5. I guess it might be pretty close.

I am assuming he hasn’t missed any games and I’m too lazy to look that up.
 
I noticed this when pinpointing Necas's shit slump.. Necas had 11 days where he was dogshit. But while looking at that, this came up:

That is damn good! And he's not being carried by anyone. Sidenote: good for Larkin

I think I'd rather lose to the habs then to the bruins at this point.

Praying to avoid a bruins matchup for the leafs.

He has the least help of any star in the league past 3 years

Kaprizov used to but now Boldy, JEK, Zuccarello, Rossi are all there and doing well

Top out at 60 points and .70 ppg.

With Pastrnak, Marchand jumps to 1.20 and has a multi year run top 5 in scoring and Bergeron jumps to over ppg for multiple seasons.

We've been over this nonsense a hundred times. Bergeron and Marchand produced at exactly the same pace whether they were with Pastrnak or not. Their increase in production occurred solely because they were used differently (more offensive zone starts, more PP time) by Cassidy/Montgomery, rather that a strictly defensive role under Claude. Matter of fact, before his concussion, Bergeron was just under a PPG player, back when Pastrnak was in Squirts. His role changed significantly after the injury.

And why do you think they were suddenly given those massive o zone starts and pp time?...hint: he's Czech

22 points in his last 12 games while the rest of Bostons offence has struggled all year. I know he’s far behind in the scoring race but if Boston somehow makes the playoffs with how poor the rest of their forwards have been then he’s gotta be at least top 5 for the hart.

Players who take half the season to get started generally get penalized on Hart balloting. It’s too easy to argue Boston’s playoff status wouldn’t even be in question if he had showed up on time.

I think the opposite is true. Players who have incredibly strong second halves can get over valued in terms of hart voting and sometimes win over players who were more consistent over the course of the season.

See, Corey Perry, Jose Theodore, Taylor Hall.

Bergeron and Marchand produced the same after Cassidy broke them up from Pastrnak. In fact, Marchand produced at a higher rate. Why was that? Hint, it's not Czech, it's zone starts and PP time.

Oh they were 50-60 point second line players. Not surprised you don’t remember, they were pretty easy to forget back then

Bergeron was close to a point per game (0.9+ ppg) early in his career, before his big injury. After that, Claude used him almost exclusively as a defensive center.
 
I personally thought the perfection line was just that.. perfect. For the longest time I felt it was obvious that Pasta lucked out to play with those 2. I think he learned from them and can now carry his own line. Doesn't change the fact I wish B's would pick up an elite forward. I wanted Necas but he's in Colorado now.

Bergeron had 73 and 70 point seasons before the bad concussion. Both seasons he was above .90 ppg.
