Will Mika Zibanejad score 50 goals this year?

[duhmetreE]

I voted YES because this team has done things I did not think was possible.

and.... Why did you vote for Georgiev in the 3 stars? I need to know.

Pretty sure it's Loob's 50 goals from 1987-88, the only 50 goal season from a Swedish player AFAIK.

You are right, I thought Näslund also got 50 but he fell short at 48...

Forsberg and Hejduk cucked him out of the Ross, Hart and Rocket in the final game of the season.

I'm going to guess he ends with 44g and 40a to finish out the season. It's still absolutely insane that he's flirting with roughly a 50g 50a season over a full 82 games.

Noticing Ottawa Senators fans voting "No"

 

[kovazub94]

If I was betting with my money - no, but if I was betting with my heart - YES!

 

[Chytilmania]

It's Panarin's turn to score another 10 goals.

 

[MyLoveIsBlue]

Would like to see Mika hit 50, but the schedule looks mighty tough.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

If he hits 50, he will only be the 2nd(!) Swede to score that many in a single season. And the one who did it before isn't who you think it is

 

[BKGooner]

Hakan Loob?

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Hakan Loob?

Yeah haha

 

[BKGooner]

Remembering trivia isn't half as much fun when i could have just looked it up on the internet. Loved those late 80's Flames teams.

 

[Machinehead]

No.

60.

I was going to guess Forsberg and after looking it up found out nope...surprised at how few games he actually played in the league because of health issues . Just around 700 games .

still won the Lindsay. Same thing happened to Jagr in 06. Lost the Ross (and Hart) to Thornton and the rocket to Cheechoo at the last minute. At least he got the Lindsay as well.

I think Forsberg hit 30 goals just once or twice, no? I remember him for his physicality and his playmaking above all else. And yeah ... something was up with his foot if I recall correctly. Something about the bones moving around?

Nilsson's 49 and 46, Sandström's 45, Sundin's 47 and Markus Näslund's 48 (Mats had two 40+ for the Habs, but no 45+) are the only Swedish seasons that were close. Sandström also had 40 in 64 as a Ranger but got hurt that year.

Hedberg had a bunch in the WHA (two 50+, one 60+ and one 70), but those don't count.

 

[Irishguy42]

The Rangers do play the Caps once more this season, so it is indeed possible.

 

[Larrybiv]

15 games to score 12 goals? It's not impossible

I said no......but definitely didn't say "no way"!
He has been on a tear, I mean how long can his hot streak last? Honestly, I thought he would slow down once Kreider got injured. Yet, he has taken it to another level. Go figure. Love Panarin, but Zbad is my fave.
