Eichel had a ppg

ROR was very close and wins MVP

What team had this heading to the finals

# 1C with 1 goal

Nobody came close to a PPG

Nobody had double digit scoring

Poor secondary scoring help

44 goals for entire playoffs

Near zero offence from the D

Neither Eichel or ROR were PPG but both were close

As I said, it’s team GF/GA/differential, and coming close to maintaining that level in the playoffs, which seems to be consistent across Cup winners going back 15-years

How you achieve those milestones, is a stylistic conversation

Two reasons the playoff push isn't as annoying this year:
- Most of the improvement is from Slaf, Caufield (who was injured last year) and surprises from prospects like Struble and Roy instead of plugs like Harvey-Pinard and Belzile
- After Celebrini, there isn't really anyone who sticks out and is really worth tanking for (and Celebrini is no Bedard either)

Playoff push is a bit misleading. We're 13th in the conference, which is not unexpected. I'm a bit surprised at the amount of points given our injuries, but we're about where I figured we would be. But this is a parity league, we're just no longer a bottom 5 team in the league.

Jack had 26 points in 22 games ...1.18 PPG

Marchy 25 in 22 ....1.13 PPG

Vegas`s top 5 scorers outscored our entire 2019 roster

Progress is good

Slaf and the yutes are much improved

We have our goalie of the future

Why are you comparing to 2019, what does that have to do with anything. Bos, STL, VGK did not have any PPG regular season players on their playoff roster.

I am talking about PPG in the playoffs

You still need to be built to go 82 games and then the playoff grind
 
Yes. So depth does matter. And it appears the Habs are building from the D. So, if that works, maybe the forward group doesn’t need to include a superstar.

His progression is the biggest "surprise" for me. I know he was a relatively high pick (for a goalie) by Florida but I didn't think he'd reach this level, and I think he's still improving.

It looks like he’s playing within his abilities. No crazy Tim Thomas or Hasek contortionist stuff. He’s sound.

That's all you need to be today as a goalie because you basically have to be at least 6'3" like he is to play as one in the NHL. That's why I'm not sold on Devon Levi, or our guy Fowler. 6'1'' is almost small today for an NHL 'keeper.

but doesn't he make up for 6'1 by being 6'6 across like Cartman
