Who will score more goals to end the season, Larkin or AA?

How is this hating? Jonas said he has better shots than Larkin. I was pointing out that he gets more breakaways. How is that hating? Is what I said not true?

That’s true he only scores on breakaways. Scored all 30 of them on breakaways.

Unfortunately Nyquist still needs to score 10 more to hit 30 btw. Told you AA was better.

Devereaux's name is on the Stanley Cup. Not sure AA's will ever be.

McCarty’s name is on 4 and he smokes weed.

I never said he only scores on breakaways, only that he gets more than Larkin, which leads to better shots on goal.

AA is so far in front of Gus, it's not even debatable.  AA creates offense.  Nyquist has to have it created for him.

No doubt I'd pick AA over Gus, who wouldn't??

Key word there... "was". He was a better player, but anyone would have put money on Athanasiou being the better player in the future (now).

Nah that's not true. There's some would vehemently would disagree with you and would consider Nyquist to be better.

So there was never a time when Goose was better? From the day AA put on the Winged Wheel he was always superior to Nyquist? I dont think so. Does that make me a hAAter?

I would have picked Nyquist going into this season, but now I'd pick AA. Still pretty close though. I can see an argument for Nyquist.

Interesting that everyone left out that Nyquist has more points and a better +/- than AA this season ( and every season they've both been in the league). Selective stat selection to fit their argument.

It’s a thread about goals. There’s nothing interesting about anything being left out.

Nyquist is a Winger. His primary job is to score goals. He’s never cracked 30, AA has done it with less experience, ice time, and s***tier line mates.

AA is the superior player and plays the tougher position.

AA gets lots of breakaways and gets more goals that way

Nyquist plays better in the cycle, makes his teammates better by setting people up, and actually plays defense

And you claim AA is a center. So why is his assist numbers so much weaker than Nyquists who is supposed to be a scoring winger? AA clearly isnt setting anyone else up to score goals. Nyquist is. Goose's numbers are superior to AAs. AA leads in goals, but Goose leads in both assists and points.

Goose > AA

Ovechkin and Nyquist have the same amount of assists.

Ergo Ovechkin = Nyquist.

Hall of famers for sure. 

Before you say "Omg how can you compare Ovechkin he's a 50 goal scorer". AA is in the 30 goal scorer club. Few are in it.

Milestones we are now looking at for AA this season:

55 pts

"A" on his jersey

I was happy to watch him breech 40, thrilled to have him breech 50.

I said going into this season it would be a big one for AA career wise. He absolutely stepped it up and shined when it came time to.

I need one more year of solid growth out of him, as I think this next season will define who he is as a player. If he can get to 60-70 pts next year, which I think he can, it would be huge. I expect him to spend serious time as a top 6 center, and I want to see his passing game take off in that role. 35-40 goals and 30-40 assists would be very welcome. He may very well earn the 3rd A if he does that.
