You think Toffoli is only going to score 20-25 more points over the rest of the season? And Pearson only 20 more over the rest of the season?
Toffoli and Pearson are both at double digit goals and on pace for 33 goals. You really think both will struggle to score 20 goals?
I know you have always been extremely bearish on both players, but wow, this is nuts.
Your infatuation with these two is showing.
Both players point totals are skewed by their incredibly hot starts. Both players have cooled off considerably since.
Toffoli had 3 goals in the month of November. 3. He had 5 total POINTS in the month. Let that sink in for a minute. 5 points in 13 games.
Pearson has 2 goals in the entirety of November. 3 total points. Once again, in 13 games.
October is long gone. The days of teams not preparing for these kids is over. They have a target on their back because of the early season success and their numbers are suffering for it.
Toffoli probably will hit 20 but he it's going to take a big increase of ice time to do it and a lot more shots on goal. Currently Toffoli shooting % is 16.1. Ovechkin and Perry were #1 and #2 in goal scoring last year and neither one of them can touch Toffoli's current shooting %. Pearson will not hit 20. He just doesn't shoot enough, period.
We get it, you like these kids. That's fine. We all do! But they aren't there yet. Take your expectations back a notch.
