Also? Caps looked gawd awful on the OT goal.

I'd take Junior (especially in the Q & WHL) goal totals with a very, very big grain of salt. There's a very long history of players in the CHL that put up gaudy numbers and never came close to replicating even half of that in the NHL.

Only 5 players got to 50 last year, 19 players got to 40.

For a Junior player to give me confidence in him being a great goal scorer in the NHL, I need him to be so far ahead of what the defense & goaltenders can do to prevent him from scoring, where it looks like an adult toying with children.

I get that he's a generational prospect, but go on YouTube & watch some of Connor Bedard's goals in the WHL. Those aren't Junior goals because the goalie isn't protecting his shortside properly, or because the defense drifted out of position and gave him a free lane to the net. He's shooting lasers, over and over again.
