He was the same in SHL, in the regular season he was good, but in the playoffs he was playing was just getting better for each round winning the championship on his own.

Only watched the first period last night and in that limited time he looked like the only one with some jam to his game.
Did he "die out" and suck the rest of the game?

Would't say he "die out", but he was a little less noticeable after the 1st. Was one of our better players last night still.

Is there a site where you can easily calculate points/goals in a set amount of games, or do you have to watch the scoresheet in (for instance) the last 10 games, to find out?
Loving his game right now. When he's on, he's just sensational to watch. Hoping he hit's 20 along with Kesler.

i can't figure silf out at all...some nights he seems so quick, and others skating in mud, and his confidence with the puck is so bipolar

Despite the recent surge he still hasn't made me forgot how bad he has been at times. He's also doing a lot of feasting on non playoff teams, 13 of his 18 goals are against teams sitting outside of a playoff position.

and a some of those non-playoff teams have outplayed us recently. NHL teams are still NHL teams.
So true.
Even though he's elevated his game significantly the past month or so, he still seems to lack confidence in himself every second game.
When he DOES play with confidence he creates time and space for himself, but when he doesn't he seems to think that he's gonna fail and lose the puck as soon as he gets it, so he just dump pucks in and go for a change.
If he manages to have yet another Conn Smythe'ish playoff, he should really start seeing a professional during the off season.
I mean, imagine him having a whole season as great as last years playoffs.
That's like 95 points and world class defence. That's a 9 000 000/season player.
Seems like Sifvermountain is pretty much great every single game lately.
Is it safe to say that he's back now?

It will be interesting to see, if Silfverberg's issues were confidence based (streaky player), or if they were concussion based (Torres is an asshat).
I know he's had a bit of a track record for being inconsistent, but he was also a very young player at the time, so it's difficult to determine if those are deeply set traits, or just your average young player.
Hopefully he gets to start next season without getting his brains scrambled, and hopefully he puts his inconsistencies behind him.

35-40 until he proves otherwise. I think he has the potential to be a 50pt guy.

25g-25a potential imo, if he plays to his level across the whole season. Not as good as he's doing now, but not as bad as the first half of the season.
This. He also does much better against teams that aren't physical.
That said, as long as he performs close to as good as he was in last year's playoffs, I'm fine with his play. The offensive inconsistency is pretty ridiculous, but as long as he produces adequately, stays very strong defensively (which he has), and steps it up in the playoffs, I'll be happy with him.
