Too many 4-goals players already. How many will we see this season?

[alko]

According to NHLstats only 1 season had better start with 4-goals in game from one player in first 11 days: 1917/1918 - 6

There was also 1992/1993 with 3, what tied this season.

Interesting.

"This league needs more offense!"
"There are too many 4-goal scorers this early in the season!"

I have both Mantha and Pastrnak on my fantasy team. Feels good.

Bruh enough with the summer threads already

Most 4-goal games in a season will probably come earlier in the season when defensive structures aren't yet solidified.

Also can be said of coach challenges. NHL....

Said no one

Said no one

Except the OP. In the title of this thread.

But other than THAT .. no one.

Except that's clearly just click bait, since the tone of the actual OP doesn't match the title at all. I wouldnt expect "interesting", to follow up that title.

Just sensationalism to get people in the thread. Followed by more sensationalism from the original post I quoted. 4 goal games dont mean too much offense on the whole anyways, it's just a quirky stat that doesnt happen a whole lot. So saying the OP claims theres too much offense isnt even true.

Don't get this thread

i think 4 goal games will depend greatly on PP production.

non PP production depend on ealry season hiccups where new pairings/linemates have to relearn each other.

This is true, but PP opportunities are inflated at the beginning of the season too.

There was only 4 total last year:

Laine with 5
Tavares with 4
Wheeler with 4
Richardson with 4 (WTF?)

2017/18 there were 7 (all with 4 goals):

McDavid
Ovechkin
Kopitar
Bergeron
E. Kane
Brown
Jankowski

If you go back one year earlier before the NHL's most recent scoring spike, there were 3 (all with 4):

Marleau
Pacioretty
Matthews

2015/16:

Bennett (4)

2014/15 (all with 4):

Okposo
Perreault
Backes

2013/14 (all with 4):

Seguin
Ovechkin
St. Louis

Kunitz was the only one to do it in the lockout year.
