29 goals in 7 games, not bad at all.
So far so good.

Are we still worried?

4.14 goals per game is #1 in the NHL

And quite the sample size to boot...

So what? On the bottom end, a coach has already been fired. If people were worried there's no way we'd score, here's some soothing balm.

Lots of home games against teams who played the night before, plus a game against the Oilers. There's definitely cause to take the great start with a grain of salt.

The stats include the 5-0 shutout at home against the Sharks, that cancels out the Oilers game IMO.
Obviously I don't expect the team to score 4 GPG for the rest of the season, but I see us scoring 220-230 goals at the end of the season.

Ovie is on pace for 50 goals again. Hard to say he's doing worse.
