Toffoli ties his career high!

 

[Boomstick]

Yay Toffoli. How did we get so good at scoring empty netters. Lol.

Preds and Jets lose, so that's good I guess.

 

[crazyfisherman]

Back to 4.... Just to give dumbass like me hope.....

 

[Boomstick]

2 points, but it wasn't easy. Good game Sharks.
I still think we looked lazy, uninspired with low energy today, except for #71.

Biggest Markstrom critic here but he was decent in the 3rd. Good work.

Not a very impressive win, but I’ll take it

Played a terrible game tbh, play like this against the kings Tuesday and it's another 8-2 game

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Me jumping back on the bandwagon…. Every time

Enjoy the win and have a beer mate.

Duehr 1st star. Those idiots who voted for him, can't believe.

 

[NinjaTurtle]

lol Duehr's on pace for 20 goals over a full season as a 4th liner.

Unadaptable, inflexable idiots are probably gonna pigeon hole him as a 4th liner/AHL'er but he has legit upside

Late bloomer Glencross/Hathaway vibes?

Gaudreau who was our leading points-getter 7 of 9 seasons and never dipped below 2nd in the other seasons (one of which was his rookie campaign)? Huberdeau who is 5th and a laughable 15 points behind Toffoli after cashing in? Those are totally the same

Huberdeau (Gaudreau) is having a tough 2022-23 (2021) season. Despite leading his team in scoring for 3 (0) consecutive seasons, where he scored at 94 (86), 91 (99), and 118 (72) point pace respectively, offensively it just isn’t there. Through 3/4 of the season, he is a woeful 5th (3rd) in team scoring being on pace for 54 (55) points. At 5v5 he is 3rd (8th, Gaudreau was actually 8th on our team in 5v5 scoring at this point) which shows promise despite poor usage. At the lowest point he was playing Lucic and Ritchie (different Ritchie) who he had 11 (0) points at 5v5 with. But then for the last quarter, things picked up. Huberdeau (Gaudreau) finally started getting better usage, through actually playing his natural wing (huge minutes boost, got paired with Lindholm and Tkachuk, and a coaching change to boot). From there, the points started to come.

Sorry you’re right, it’s crazy how different those situations were, like I almost didn’t realize Gaudreau was getting almost 2 minutes per night more than Huberdeau that year, with an extra 30 seconds of powerplay time a night.

Very happy for Toffoli.

Late bloomer Glencross/Hathaway vibes?

Yeah, I was thinking Glencross/Moss/Hyman type.

He's not really an agitator/fighter and has better hands and skating than Hathaway. Really solid scouting find for the organization to get him for free.

 

[DomBarr]

Very happy for Toffoli.

For sure some idiot GM will overpay to extend a 30yo who just hit a career high…wait…
I just hope that GM also overpays to acquire him as well
