Rocket Watch Thread

I really honestly think that Matthews would have won the rocket this year if he didn't miss 20 games.

McDavid wins it easy if half his teammates show up in the first half of the season.

Yeah, that could be. But if he had wingers who could score, would he score less? He is a "pass first" kind of player after all.

Probably both, scary.

 

[BrokerD]

Meh. He was going to win it anyways.

I know.. one can hope tho.

I think Laine is saving them for the POs

 

[Festinator]

Sucks that the Stastny line quieted down after being so hot.

Montreal and Chicago aren't exactly defensive juggernauts so anything can happen I suppose.

 

[Daximus]

Ovi gets an empty netter so he's at 46. 2 games left to hit 50. Laine has 3 games left. 3 goals back of Ovi and 7 goals back of 50.

And Laine would have totally won it if he hadn't played with Little 75% of the season. See what I did there? Bunch of "ifs". Truth is McDavid sucked at scoring goals first half of the season, nothing to do with linemates. Guy generates alot of chances for himself and also misses a ton of them. McDavid is not the second coming of Gretzky, hate when people over hype him.

Truth?

Ok, if you say so.

Not turning this into a McD thread, so that's enough.

 

[PhilJets]

Lets go Laine

If you will not score a goal try to get 2 assist please


He needs 4 assist to beat his last year total.


Ovie and Laine is tied for most goals since start of 2016 season.

Wow

 

[Aavco Cup]

Today's watch

Ovechkin does not play (2GR)
Laine plays in Montreal (3GR)
Malkin does not play (2GR)
Karlsson plays in Vancouver (3GR)
McDavid does not play (2GR)

 

[Garbox]

Wouldn't it be just Laine if he now comes out and wins the trophy? I mean, he wasn't even in the race before he just lit it up against all odds. Wouldn't mind though

 

[Couchcaptain]

Well, Laine had all the chances in the world to beat him. But the difference in average TOI is huge.

 

[Couchcaptain]

I really honestly think that Matthews would have won the rocket this year if he didn't miss 20 games.

IDK, he was on pace for 43 or something for full 82 game season. Impossible to make such predictions because goal scorers always have hot and cold streaks.

 

[Kaako Kappo]

Karlsson scores....again...ughh. 13 mins left for him to tie Laine. A Swede must NOT tie him.

 

[Aavco Cup]

 

[PhilJets]

Laine are you setting up Ovie to tie him

 

[Aavco Cup]

None of the top 5 play tonight

 

[Hobble]

This screams for a Laine hat-trick.

 

[Aavco Cup]

 

[Trilliann]

Ovi keeping the race interesting

Ovechkin could miss next game for Capitals

Ovechkin could miss next game for Capitals

Forward, who leads League with 46 goals, listed as day to day

 

[Trilliann]

Although I'll be really surprised if he actually misses a game, unless he's literally physically unable to skate at all

 

[Aavco Cup]

Ovi's in

 

[Aavco Cup]

Today's watch

Ovechkin plays Nashville at home (2GR)
Laine plays Calgary at home (2GR)
Karlsson plays in Edmonton (2GR)
Malkin plays in Columbus (2GR)
McDavid plays Vegas at home (2GR)

 

[mondo3]

hmmm...Ovi playing decreases Rocket chances for Laine but increases Washington's chances to beat Nashville, so increases Jets chances to pass Nashville..
