Gaudreau had 2 hits?! How the hell do you only get 2 hits over a season? I'd have thought you'd get more than that by accident.

 

[syz]

2 hits in 81 games feels like a typo.

 

[Goose]

2 hits in 81 games feels like a typo.

Not a typo, he had 1 hit in 70 games in the 19-20 season as well.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Englund does shoot a lot.. they just never make it to the net.

 

[syz]

Not a typo, he had 1 hit in 70 games in the 19-20 season as well.

Somebody should put together a highlight package tbh.

 

[JoVel]

+56 is pretty mental no matter what you think of the stat.

 

[Dynamite Time]

2 hits in 81 games feels like a typo.

Agreed; I mean 2 hits in a full season of a contract sport… wow.

 

[wetcoast]

Gaudreau had 2 hits?! How the hell do you only get 2 hits over a season? I'd have thought you'd get more than that by accident.

Honestly I was surprised it was that high.

It doesn't take a doctorate to figure out why Gaudreau avoids contact.

But Tommy Novak? He's the runner up in that category and he's 6'1.

Honestly I was surprised it was that high.

I'm pretty sure it must be recording error.

 

[Rabid Ranger]

Carlson (John) had a low-key nice season.

 

[Nickmo82]

It doesn't take a doctorate to figure out why Gaudreau avoids contact.

Zucc is officially shorter than Gaudreau and had 26 hits as an "old man." He had a couple of years with 100+ hits with the Rangers. Size isn't the issue...

Zucc is a tank compared to Gaudreau.

 

[NVious]

Dewar should win the Hart, whereas Kucherov just gives it away like it's nothing, Dewer understands the importance of analytics, not skilling it up and being a stupid try hard

 

[Toby91ca]

+56 is pretty mental no matter what you think of the stat.

Well, there have been way higher than this, but I think what makes this one really good is that it's +23 better than the next best on his team.

 

[Gunnersaurus Rex]

Lol...Johnny Hockey with 2 hits. Softest player ever.

Samuel Laberge from Jersey had 3 hits and he only played 3:05 all season

 

[bobholly39]

Well, there have been way higher than this, but I think what makes this one really good is that it's +23 better than the next best on his team.

Outside of the Calgary trio 2 years ago (Gaudreau, Lindholm and Tkachuk) - this is the highest +/- since the lockout. So it's a really high number yes.

 

[weaponomega]

haha love the category titles

 

[bert]

Gaudreau had 2 hits?! How the hell do you only get 2 hits over a season? I'd have thought you'd get more than that by accident.

Did he even play this year? Point total doesnt look like it either. Called this when he signed, soft, doesn't care at all about hockey. Went to a no pressure market where he could mail it in. Calgary dodged a bullet.

 

[Seb]

They must have been two glorious hits tho

 

[Rabid Ranger]

Yeah, they can take solace in missing the playoffs and paying prime $$$ to legendary warriors like Huberdeau.

 

[bert]

Yeah, they can take solace in missing the playoffs and paying prime $$$ to legendary warriors like Huberdeau.

At least Huberdeau wants to win games. If you think Gaudreau is a winner have at it, american cancer. Doesnt take care of his body, doesnt work out, doesnt want any pressure doesnt compete.

Glendenning should get the hart instead of Kucherov

 

[CaptainShark]

Really enjoyed reading that, you should make that an annual thing. Maybe expand to goalies.

Didn’t know Bedards +/- was that bad.

 

[ricky0034]

At least Huberdeau wants to win games. If you think Gaudreau is a winner have at it, american cancer. Doesnt take care of his body, doesnt work out, doesnt want any pressure doesnt compete.

and somehow still had 8 more points than Huberdeau this year while leading his team in points(unlike Huberdeau who was 5th on his)
