Kane's 20-goal streak comes to an end

[hisgirlfriday]

Guess I should not be too bummed when he finished the season in the top 5 in scoring but still sad to see this streak come to an end.

This was the stats as of last season:

Well that sucks

Surprised to see Sundin up there but he was reliable and consistent thru his career

Shame it was wasted playing in Toronto

 

[CourtneyDagger50]

Maybe if he looked like he gave a damn for the last month, he woulda hit it.

Sucks to see it end

I'm sad for him. He gets criticized a lot, but sure carries a lot of weight on his shoulders, especially this season.

 

[ClydeLee]

Offense and PP more than even before was generated by him making passes. Not having a classic center or playmaker across from him a whole lot lead that way.

15 in 56 = 22 in 82

32 in 56(54) = 47 in 82!!!

I mean, it seems that the Hawks org is turning to a new page as Toews' 20 goal streak ended in 2020 and Kane's ended in 2021

He looked out of gas in the 2nd half. Hawks need a lot more support up front next year, can't just double shift Kane every game and think he'll be okay long term.

To be fair he was on pace for it again. Not his fault shortened seasons come in.

Realise that could affect other players too but it is still a fact.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

Bummer but he either looked gassed or completely disinterested for the last half of the season. The terrible PP didn't help.

Season was 56 games. He scored zero goals in the last 12 games of the season. He scored 4 goals in the last 28 games (second half of season).

He did rack up a lot of apples.

Just an FYI, Kane played injured this season.

Just an FYI, Kane played injured this season.

I'm guessing it was a severe case of duntgivafuk, which is brought about during national pandemics and team rebuilds.

Gotta be hand/wrist related. His skating looked fine when he actually tried and if his hand or wrist were hurting him that would explain why he floated even more than usual and avoided contact.


Not to mention the lack of goals from him this year on a per game basis. Wasn’t that his worst goals per 82 season since his rookie year?

Just an FYI, Kane played injured this season.

I was wondering if it was a shoulder injury or wrist injury. His passing was good, but his shot didn't look the same.

Dude, he played every single game, significant minutes and was a locker room leader. He had 30+ primary assists. He said he had a "little issue" since the bubble which bothered him more some days than others, but it did bother him and he did not take any time off. How is that not giving an F?

was a joke......easy killer

 

[hawksfan50]

Kansas said that there was an issue(physical ) he was dealing with since last playoffs....both his shooting% and goalsper game were down from nornal levels...perhaps this issue was affecting his shot or his skating so as not to be in more open space for shots?


Whatever....going only 2 goals in kastc22 GO .....sonetbing obviously must have affected him...the shots did get off lacked velocity and his usual accuracy in the last half of this season.

Bummer... Ovi's streak of 30 goal seasons also comes to an end.
