Pate is so good, but I am sure Ovie will put in everything he has and more to fight for the Trophy. Kind of silly that this raw 19-year-old is even in the competition!

Somewhere nice
Laine can't have 2 - 3 game goalless drought now.

Ovie with 4 more minutes and Malkin with 2 more minutes a game than Laine.
Insane numbers, is that

13 more games extra for OVIE and 7 more games for Malkin if computing their minutes vs Laine?

Call me uber-optimist, but If Laine doesn't win the Rocket Richard this season,
i'd be thunder ****** and mind *****, there is just no way his pace is slowing down
"too much" confidence sisu juice in him at the moment to throw it all away.

50 & Rocket is more possible than not for Laine with his current pace.
That's what i think.

I mean...the way Jets players are dropping like flies at this point, the games will only get harder for him and a significantly slower pace isn't out of the realm of possibility.

If Laine keeps his SoG average per game he will have 43 shots on goal in the remaining 15 games. To get to 50 goals he has to convert 25.5% - that is a lot to ask for, but not impossible.

He has had a lot of variance going his way lately (I mean A LOT!). I would probably prefer that he cooled down a bit before playoff, so he can heat up again when it really matters. I really dont hope there will be some balancing out in playoff

If Laine would score goals in rest of games (15) with pace...

1.5 G/GP, he would end season at 61-62 Goals
1.2. G/GP, he would end season at 57 Goals
1.0 G/GP, he would end season at 54 Goals
0.9 G/GP, he would end season at 52-53 Goals
0.8 G/GP, he would end season at 51 Goals
0.7 G/GP, he would end season at 49-50 Goals
0.6 G/GP, he would end season at 48 Goals
0.5 G/GP, he would end season at 46-47 Goals
0.4 G/GP, he would end season at 45 Goals
0.3 G/GP, he would end season at 43-44 Goals
...

I think that considering his trend of recent streak, good mood, joy of playing, and insanely accurate shooting, the season will end likely somewhere between 47-53 Goals over full 82 games played.

ADD: Pace trajectories

Current situation in the Rocket race. Pace trajectories 0.4-1.2 G/GP with 0.2 intervals.

Somewhere out there... ;)
