GMRwings1983 8,804 Report post Posted April 11, 2011 (edited) Boy, scoring 50 goals has become like it was back when Gordie Howe and Maurice Richard were playing. A truly rare feat. I know we won't see a return of 80's or early 90's goal scoring anytime soon, but for only one player to do it in a league that's trying to promote goals, is pretty freaking lame. You'd think with all these powerplays and rule changes over the last few years, it'd be more common. God, I hate those damn butterfly goalies.

Echolalia 2,961 Report post Posted April 11, 2011 With the way this season opened, I'm truly surprised at this outcome. Crosby was absolutely on a tear, and Stamkos was putting in pucks almost every game. Perry, however, was quiet. I guess that's why they play 82 times.

Yeah, Crosby was on pace to score 60 goals and over 130 points. Still, it's pretty disconcerting to see only a handful of players hit 50 goals every year. I remember back in 2004, 41 goals won the Richard Trophy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Liberation 11 Report post Posted April 11, 2011 To me at least, Corey Perry had a career year, I just think that when you face the facts, the best goal scorers in the league are Stamkos and Ovechkin and I say that because the way they score goals, we know players can go and score a lot of goals in a season, but to me Stamkos and Ovechkin are more of the pure skill goal scorers rather than just positioning which is what I see Corey Perry as and especially Crosby.
