Ha, Lecavalier will not, by no meens at all win the scoring race this year.
Its going to come down to Zetterberg and Sid the kid. But Zetterbeg is going to pull it out in the end. Crosby will be a close 2nd though.

I'm picking Lecavalier.....He plays pretty much non-stop on that one-line team (with the greatest coach ever!)....He's big, he's got great hands and a great linemate...He's older than Sid...so he knows more nooks and crannies about the show...And did you see vinnies highlight reel performance last night...Every goal was a beauty! How many nice goals/points has sid got this year...I'm guessing 2..His first goal of the season bumped off a leaf d-man...Sid gets garbage goals..But like I say about woman: a garbage goal's still a goal..But we'd all take the beauties if we had the choice!

Crosby is solid. None of these other guys are.
But I think Lecavalier could take it. He definitely isn't Mr. consistent, not by a long shot. But his hot and cold streaks might just push him past Sid the Kid. The safe money is on Sid.
I want Crosby to take it. Or Sundin. It would be nice for a 36 year old.
Sundin is better at thiry six than most of the NHL |

Zetterberg? Sundin?
People...
Are there any other mediocre to decent Swedes out there we could throw into the mix? How about Markus Naslund or maybe a Sedin twin? Kristian Huselius?
Lecavalier is at least in the same league as Crosby. Crosby is a much more consistent scorer than Vinny, though, so he'll win by 15-20 points at least.
It's not who scores in the first two months, it's who keeps scoring through those dog days of January that wins it.

He'll be in first place by next Sunday. Book it.
I saved a file of the top scorers after 10 games, I will post it along with the top scorers 41 games in, and at the end of the season, most people do not realize how many players are at the top to start the season, but flutter away to nothing by the middle, and end...
I don't necessarily agree with everything I say.

The only guy I think might even come close to Crosby is Thronton. He;'s known for great second halves. He's behind all the 1st round picks in my pool but I'm confident he will step it up and challenge Crosby again this year.
As for Lecavelier? He'll be somewhere back in about 5th-10th in league scoring.

I would have to agree with that. I can see Lecavelier finishing around 4th-10th. And Thornton will be top 3.

I believe it will come down to Lecavalier and Crosby with Crosby winning by a small margin.
Go Habs Go!! |

Crosby, after a 1/4 way through the season is on pace to get 115 points. That means, for him to hit the 140+ that some on here think he will get, he has to average 1.81PPG the rest of the way. Not sure he has the team to do it. I still say less than 130 but more than 110.
Lecavalier, just FYI, has 21 points in his last 8 games. 2.62 PPG is Gretzky/Lemiuex/Orr like numbers.
Not saying the streak will continue, but I can't remember the last time there was a guy this hot for more than a game or two.
Wayne or Bobby?? How about both!!! |

Crosby's scoring is a lot more balanced this season than it was last season. Here are some interesting stats, after 1/4 of the season.
Last season at 22 games he had 10G 24A 34P 24PIM
Season Totals:
0 point games 19.
3 point games 10.
4 point games 4.
6 point games 1.
This season at 22 games he has 11G 20A 31P 22PIM
Totals so far:
0 point games 2.
3 point games 0.
4 point games 1.
6 point games 0.
I don't necessarily agree with everything I say.

Thanks for that Pucknuts, useful information.
Sorry this slipped, I forgot about it since no one has posted here for awhile.
It seems like it may be a tight race this season. Top 10 Point getters at this point of the season:
1. Lecavlier - 63
2. Kovulchuk - 60
3. Iginla - 60
4. Crosby - 59
5. Alfreddson - 55
6. Heatley - 55
7. Zetterberg - 54
8. Datsyuk - 53
9. Ovechkin - 52
10. Spezza - 52
Wow, three of the top ten are Senators ad two are Red Wings.
11 Points seperates 1 to 10.
