Kessel got a heck of a lot better last year than he was when he was first a Leaf. I hoped/expected more progress, but yeah, maybe like 70 points....which obviously could still be where he winds up but we are watching something really special. I was at the game against Washington and it is just obscene how good he has gotten. He skates so well with the puck and he does a lot of little drives to the net for rebounds, certainly more than I thought he did watching on TV. That and he is coming back into the defensive zone and really did a good job of sticking to his man.

Well, it's not like Kessel has more goals than Ovechkin has points. Oh, wait . . .

Not wishing to continue to sound negative, I still believe there's a good chance Kessel and Lupul will go through a drop off sometime this season. I don't expect a 15 game goalless streak like last season (though it's possible) but I do expect it is likely they'll hit a dry spell.
As I went through in statistical detail last season, it is quite common for top goal scorers to experience a period of not scoring goals. Many of them experience 7 games or more goalless stretches in a season. And they might have a couple of those back to back.
Kessel is on pace to score 62 goals. Since the lockout, one player has exceeded 56 goals one time: Ovechkin with 65 in '08. The basic odds are that he won't be able to sustain his torrid pace for the next 61 games - because only one person has one time.
If he breaks 50, I think we should be ecstatic. Over 40, most should be delighted - I sure will be. But I'm sure some of the media will whine that he hasn't keep up that crazy pace and we might even see another thread suggesting "regression".

He probably won't continue at this pace, but I think it's safe to say that he'll likely set career bests in most categories. How far along was he last year after 21 games?
