Will Kucherov break Mogilnys record?

[Khomutov]

Will he break the russian record of 127 points in a season set by Alexander Mogilny in 1992-93? He is on pace for 131 points with 23 games left.

No.

I feel like he'll have to do it quicker so they can start resting up for the playoffs. He's got a shot but I think he'll ultimately be short but will be on pace to beat it.

 

[Troubadour]

Now that's interesting! I expect him to slow down in the last... ten to fifteen games of the RS? But let's say he extends his hot streak for another five, than adds seven more points in five more games and then goes at around 1,2 PPG pace for whatever is left...

He definitely does look like having a historical chance there, doesn't he.

Yes, he'll see to it.

The next dozen of games will tell. If he gets twenty there, he should make it despite easing it.

Thats interesting, i had no idea that the russian record was only 127p. Even sweden had a player higher than that.

Would have had more than Nilsson if he had remained healthy throughout the season. And it's not that shocking given that Mogilny was the first Russian player to defect and the Iron Curtain collapse only allowed Russians to compete in the NHL from 1990 onwards.

Who knows what Makarov and Krutov could have done in the 80s. Anyway, 127 is still pretty high of a ceiling, but also doable.

Worth noting that mogilny missed 7 games that year too... he was pacing 83 goals and 139 pts.

 

[c9777666]

I don't think so.

With all due respect to Stamkos and company..... is his supporting cast comparable with LaFontaine/Hawerchuk and 4 months of Andreychuk before he was traded for Fuhr?

It will be very exciting to watch no doubt.

I'm going to say no as he has 13 points in his last 4 games there will be a slowdown somewhere in the next 23 games.

In the 10 games before this 4 game outburst he was 10-0-6-6.

 

[Mickey Marner]

I wouldn't have guessed Mogilny had that record. I think he'll probably fall a couple points short, but have the better season anyhow.

 

[Lights911]

I dought it, he’ll probably finish a little below that

 

[Mickey Marner]

I don't think so.

No, Kucherov's supporting cast is far superior.

 

[authentic]

Absolute no for me, but I won't rule out 120 which would be great.

 

[olli]

He needs 34 points in his final 23 games which is very doable considering he has 76 in his last 41.

 

[thadd]

Yes, I think it's about time.
I didn't expect to see this happen so soon.

 

[SotasicA]

Even sweden had a player higher

Even Sweden? You mean to say that a hockey-player producing powerhouse has had high scoring players? Who'd have thunk.

 

[Patty Ice]

You leave Mogilny alone!! This is all he has....besides a Stanley Cup ring...and an Olympic gold medal... and a World Cup gold medal...and the honor of being the first Russian captain and All-Star in the NHL. Other than that he has nothing, nothing to cement his legacy.

 

[CupsOverCash]

Probably not. Would love to see him try though. Just save energy for playoffs.

29 in 22 now! It will be hard, but it seems very, very likely after tonight.

Did you see his 5-point show tonight though? It looked like a training fun-match. He actually has been saving energy.
