Leafs first team with three 30g scorers (Bonus: on 3 different lines!!!)

[shaner8989]

Deepest offence in the league along with peg

 

[MattySnipes]

Yes they do, Kessel, Crosby and Malkin are all on 3 separate lines. Kessel plays on a line with Brassard and has spent a lot of time with Sheahan this year. I'm not sure how the Jets set up their forward lines.

lol seriously? He's played with Brassard like 9% of TOI this year. Get real.

stay on topic , dont flame or bait eachother

Leafs:JVR/Matthews/Kadri
Pens: Malkin/Kessel/Crosby (27)
Bruins: Pastrnak/Marchand/Bergeron(27)
Jets: Laine/Connor(29)/Ehlers(28)
Lightning: Kucherov/Point(28)/Stamkos(27)

not sure if im missing anyone else that could have three 30g guys

 

[NeedleInTheHay]

But do they have 3 players at 84+points on 3 different lines?

You are aware that the Penguins got Brassard like a month ago, right?

This kinda enforces my point that this isn't that big of a deal.

That's my point. You're saying Kessel scored 30 on his own line with Brassard when that's not true. He's played mostly with Geno. Making them two 30-goal scorers on the same line.

Awesome! Jets are not far behind. Hoping to see a Jets/Leafs SCF soon

I'm pretty sure Kessel has played more with Sheahan and Brassard together than with Malkin. They don't play on the same line, I don't know why you have such an issue with this. Kessel is on the 3rd line, his center for a lot of this year was Sheahan and now it's Brassard.

What about pre-Brassard? Can't believe you don't understand what I'm saying

 

[The Missing Piece]

If only someone would have started this thread when Matthews had 29 we could be arguing if he was truly a 30 goal scorer or if based on last years the hab’s would get 100 points...

Pre-Brassard Kessel played with Sheahan, which is what I said.

OK.

 

[Griffin6612]

Holy cow how little does this matter that they are on different lines?

 

[Pay Carl]

add boston to the list then. this thread is about teams with three 30g scorers, not 2

lol you're the one that added the two teams that you deemed close in the OP

I was merely pointing out that another team was just as close

Its more impressive pretty simple to understand really.

 

[Griffin6612]

No. Not really. Only one person. On a line can score at a time. 3 lines in a row would give them all more chances . AND again this is assuming having 3 30 goal scorers is even that rare.

 

[zeke]

heh leaf haters are just the best.

just cannot let the leafs receive one iota of credit for anything.

Pre-Brassard Kessel played with Sheahan, which is what I said.

Kessel’s played around 70% with Malkin this year 5-on-5. 71.6% to be exact.

I'm impressed that Kadri hit the 30 goal mark again.

Having a 30 goal scorer on each of your top 3 lines in today’s NHL is rare, yes. Each of the other examples that are close have pairs that have played significant time together on the same line. Bergeron-Marchand-Pastrnak are a line themselves for example.

That's what I've been tryna tell him but a Pens fan doesn't know his own team's player usage.

 

[Griffin6612]

Just because something is arbitrary and rare does not make it special. But yeah I guess this is great for Toronto.

Congrats, they have been really fun to watch. Hopefully my team can get there as well soon.

well the whole kadri isnt a 30g scorer because he has only done it once narrative is dead.
LOL at all the guys calling him a 3C as recently as this summer.

he still gets no respect though. He just got whomped by a guy who hasnt gotten more than 20g or 52 pts yet.

since last year its 62g/113pts vs 40g/92pts.

I know who I got
