This game makes me wish that Koski started last night. The Flyers just aren’t a good team.

Three points for McDavid, 3 for Drai.

Larsson from Spooner and Nurse is a fun anomoly for some secondary scoring.

An empty net goal.

Most importantly, 2 points for a assuredly tired team.

Anyone else notice that Draisatl is low key on pace to hit 100 points?

Yup, it was discussed in another thread. To be fair though, there are like 15 other players that are also "on pace" to hit or exceed 100 points. We are not going to have that many 100+ point players at the end of the year. I'd be shocked if it turns out more than 5 players crack 100 points. God, and people who bother to look it up, knows when that last happened.

League seems to mostly be shifting to loaded top lines. Maybe we do see a decent amount of 100 point guys this year.

Was just thinking, it's nice to have a coach that does more with his depth than just blend and hope for miracles, and when there is a miracle, he blends again if it doesn't last more than 1 game. Hitch actually looks at his players, looking at strengths and weaknesses, tries to make lines that have a role, and guys that compliment each-other. And he actually works with the players, tries to improve what they do, tries to push them to do what he believes they can. That's really nice, and it's letting us load up that top line now.

With Todd, your only hope was lines that were essentially coach-proof. Like, they would get the job done even if there was no coach, pure talent taking over. And just 1 coach-proof line was not enough, so we badly needed Drai to drive a 2nd line so we didn't have 3 useless lines every night playing aimless hockey. But, that's not really a concern now IMO. We can load up that top line, and the depth is going to be able to hold their own, and even chip in now.

Good point, but it's still great to see.

Since I had a few minutes I looked it up. There are 15 guys on pace for 100 right now (good guess) with all of them being not too unexpected except for maybe Brayden Point and Mikko Rantanen.

In 1996 there were 12 100 point scorers, with 7 others within 5 points (Florida getting to the Final with the trap really did wreck the offence in the league). Before then it was in 1993 when 21 players hit 100 points (including guys like Craig Janney, Rick Tocchet, and Joe Juneau). Even through the 80s you didn't see it getting up to 15 much, maybe just a couple of times. Really makes it more impressive that Gretzky was able to get to 200 so many times. It's not like everybody was hitting 100 every year back then, just looks that way when your an Oilers fan because their guys always seemed to get there.

Once you get back to the 70s, it's the same guys and same teams with players getting to 100 points most years, Boston, Montreal, Philadelphia, and the New York teams.

Kind of surprised that 1993 is when there was the most. Not the year I would have guessed, especially with Gretzky injured that year and not even making it on the list. Also, of those 21 guys in 1993, 15 of them had their best season that year.

Cool, thanks for looking it up. I just kind of assumed that every team had one or two 100 point players in the 80s, guess not.

Every year before Christmas there are lots of players "on pace" for huge numbers. Few make it. I never pay much attention to scoring leaders until after the all-star break.

lol Remenda.

"Yawney wants those D up!" - Actually Hitchcock said he has no idea what was going on before, and HE wants the D up more.

"It's not a new system, it's a new attitude" - No, it's a new system man, shut up.
