Who wins the Rocket Richard in 2021?

[Sidney the Kidney]

I don't think he'll win the rocket but if Toffoli or Anderson get to play with Suzuki i could see either of them scoring 40 or more

Habs fans really seem overly optimistic about their players all of a sudden.

I'm sure you have fond memories of Suzuki and Koko from the playoffs

We finally have some elite centres and Bergevin has created some of the best wing depth in the league

Interesting take given Toffoli and Anderson’s prior goal scoring numbers. I mean Anderson going from one goal to 40 goals is a bold prediction indeed!

Ah what the hell it’s the off season where anything is possible. I suspect though you’re in for a bit of a let down.

I voted Matty as my biased pick lol and also because he could very well win.

But it's hard to really bet against Ovie in a shortened season. I would say he wins it.

You mean the series where Price stood on his head? Yes, Price standing on his head is an indication that you've got "elite centres" and they're going to boost two guys to becoming 40 goal scorers for the first time in their careers.

Great 8 scores 50 in 50

Habs wont even get a 30 goal scorer, but to say that pitts lost only because of Price is funny at best...

I wouldn’t be surprised if they they do have a player on pace to score 30 goals tbh (based on pace for 82 games). Their strength though will be that they can roll 4 strong lines. Depth coming out of their ears and some young guys who look ready to take another step.

Before the qualifying series in both conferences had started, wasn't there some teams against them happening because they thought a team like Montreal with Carey Price would be the main reason why they won a 5 game series and it's exactly what happened.

Toffoli I could see getting 40 points maybe in 56 games. Anderson that's a stretch.

Not too sure if i am following you there, but mtl beat pittsburgh because most of the team showed up, which is a rare thing with how bad that team was built, prie was good, but he was not Price Jesus that series, thats what i was trying to say.

Montreal beat Pittsburgh because of Price. Though it is quite ironic that Sid is the one saying this, considering his unwillingness to acknowledge goaltending impacts or context when it's not his team.

 

[BlueBaron]

It wasn't an option but it appears it needs to be said....It won't be a Hab winning it.

Most optimistic summer fans on HF which I kind of admire.

I would love to see this! How frickin cool would that be.

Anderson scored 1 goal last season

Even if we ignore that, he only had 1 season with more than 20 goals (albeit was on pace for 20+ twice). Now all of a sudden hell be a 40 goal scored because of Suzuki

I'll make a bet with you.

Toffoli/Anderson don't score 40 --> you change your username to SuzukiSucksAss

If they do --> I'll do whatever the hell you can think of

When have I said goalie performance has no impact on a series? In fact, this strengthens my point because I'm not blaming Murray for Pittsburgh losing just because he got outplayed by Price. Which is a concept you don't seem to get with regards to Andersen and how it's always his fault just because the other guy played better.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Great 8 or AM34 most likely

You seem to like downplaying the impacts for other teams, but no issue pointing to it for your own team.

I've never said that it's always Andersen's fault. In fact, I've repeatedly said that, similar to Pittsburgh, the main reason for the Leaf's loss this past season was the opponent's goaltending.

Toffoli/Anderson combined 40?

If they do it you have to change your name to KotkaCaufieldFan.

It's sleazy to try to change it when you didn't say combined in your post.

"if Toffoli or Anderson get to play with Suzuki i could see either of them scoring 40 or more"

Not combined. Individually. If one of them scores 40 I will GLADLY change my username to "KotkaCaufieldFan"

Lets say the loser keeps the name change for the off-season (after this season) this summer?

Deal?

 

[wingman75]

I voted other = McDavid.

I think he has something to prove.

Lol now you're trying to change the bet I see

Classic

You hypocrite. In what world am I trying to change it?

You said either of them could score 40 on Suzuki's wing. Now YOU are trying to change it to Toffoli and Anderson combined. You said either of them could score 40, thats individually.

Do you have no shame? Especially when its extremely easy for me to scroll back and quote word for word what you said?
