Laine is in position to have one of the greatest goal scoring Februaries of all time

[204hockey]

Dude stamkos had 95 Points and was 5th in Points while "winning" the Rocket. That's like Laine or Matthews putting up 39+34=73 Points right now. Instead they've put up 31+22=53 and 28+22=50...

Laine and Matthews should've better stats right now since they're both elite talents. These stats are not impressive to anybody else than people like you, who are easily impressed.

im nor impressed or care.. im just stating my opinion. im not a stat watcher i just want my team to win

Sharing this brand new homemade chart here too if someone is interested. There will be february next year for new attempt.

Patrik's goals of February 2018 are numbers 24-31.

How did this go? Are we editing our record books? Has he been deemed the greatest hockey player ever?

I don't get the chart.

 

[RageQuit77]

Did all his goals cross the goal line vertically?
I don't get the chart.

Chart gives approximate shooting locations on the ice, as well as approximated entry points of shots in to a goal. Shot type listed.

Numbered plot on the ice chart corresponds with entry point on the goal chart. Note that in some cases it was nearly impossible determine accurately exact entry point to the goal, and when placing those number spots I had to make some compromises in their locations for making chart more readable and informative by avoiding too much overlapping spots (for example around 5-hole, and goalie's right shoulder). I left shot trajectory lines out of the chart exactly because of same reason. You get still pretty accurate overall image of Laine's charasteristic goal scoring: Hard, accurately, and from the perimeter.

NHL.com highlight videos were used as a source material.

Good, solid stuff.
Patrik for sure can find the back of the net.

We're not talking about guys who has been in the League for 5+ years and were never expected to be that good. Both matthews and laine were supposed to be elite talents. Just look at McDavid. Injured in his first year but was still above Point per game in the games he played. Then he Went on to win the Art Ross in his second season. Crosby had a good rookie season too back in the day and then he Went on to win the Art Ross in his second season. Stamkos went from a 46 Point player to a 90+ Point Rocket winning player in his second year. Point is Matthews and Laine should've done a lot better this year...

Perhaps Matthews disappointing as a 1st overall pick compared to previous 1st overall's and billed as a generational talent. I think in comparison to other 2nd overalls Laine isn't a disappointment. He will likely end D+2 season as the top player in goals, assists and points from his draft year. The top 2 players from the draft year before Laine (2015) were hyped much more than he was and Laine has almost caught both of them in goals even though he started a year later than they did.

Matthews is a dissapointment... compared to which 1st overalls? McDavid and Crosby?

 

[Laineux]

I find it funny that McDavid actually did tie the goal scoring record of february.

 

[Keeptdos]

How did this go? Are we editing our record books? Has he been deemed the greatest hockey player ever?

No he is now officially a bust. We should move to a younger player now like Hischier or Patrick.

No he didn't come close. See post 613 record is 16 goals.

Patrik for Patrick eh? Interesting.

That must have taken some time to put together. Very interesting, thanks for doing it.

Man, if we could have charts like that for every player.

 

[Orfieus]

didn't Marner get more goals/assists then Laine in February?!?

 

[MVP of West Hollywd]

Considering the jinx this could've gone worse

Whole day, practically.

Average distance those february's 8 goal scoring shots is >40 ft, but goal #27 (back hander) decrease that a lot.

Without of that short shot in Goal #27, average shooting distance is from:

Left ~ 60 ft
Right ~ 45 ft

Average angle is

Left ~ 66°
Right ~39°

relative to goal line (o°).

These coordinates give also pretty accurate locations of so called:

Laine's Office One (Primarily for PP)
Laine's Office Two (Primarily for 5-0n-5)

February's over.
