best scorers in hockey has made

  • August 12, 2019

    The NHLs leading scorer at the all-star break has never cracked 70 points in a season. Drew Brees Jersey .This ascension past Sidney Crosby, Tyler Seguin and all of the best scorers in hockey has made Philadelphia Flyers right-wing Jakub Voracek one of the most surprising stories of the first half of the season.On pace for 95 points in his sixth year in the league, Voracek has surprised even himself with this kind of production.I would be lying if I said I knew I was going to be leading the points by January, said Voracek, who prefers to be called Jake. Ive really worked hard for it. But it doesnt mean that I was on top for 45 games and now I just let up. Ive just got to keep working hard and try to get better.Its still not clear how much better Voracek can get. He set a career high in points last season with 62 and has 56 in 48 games so far this year, on 17 goals and 39 assists.Some of that is thanks to fellow all-star Claude Giroux, his linemate for the past two-plus seasons. Giroux is tied for third in the league in scoring.Gs a smart player and he makes those passes just at the right time and with Jakes speed and the way he brings pucks to the net — and he can also pass the puck — theyre both good at everything, said Flyers forward Vincent Lecavalier, who helped then-Lightning teammate Martin St. Louis win the Art Ross in 2004. Theyre exceptional, like Jake bringing the puck to the net, and G his vision. I think it just works well together.Voracek and Giroux have excelled and produced even with a rotating cast of characters on left wing: Brayden Schenn, Matt Read, Michael Raffl and Wayne Simmonds. A lack of secondary scoring down the lineup, along with defensive miscues, has the Flyers well out of the playoff race.But thats not Voraceks fault. The former Blue Jackets winger who was part of the deal that sent Jeff Carter to Columbus is enjoying his best season by far.I think its more experience, Voracek said. Im more patient with the puck in the tight situations and on the power play. Every year I feel like when you gain that experience, when you play those games, you find different solutions sometimes for the situations on the ice. Its what it is: experience, work ethic, good teammates, good linemates. Thats all it takes.Voracek said he didnt prepare any differently over the summer. But coach Craig Berube has noticed the maturation of a skilled, offensive playmaker.Hes putting the work in now and hes simplified his game, Berube said. Hes shooting pucks, getting to the net, things like that. A guy with that skill, and he does the right things all the time, hes going to produce.But no one expected the Kladno, Czech Republic, native to produce quite like this. His previous high-scoring experience came with the Halifax Mooseheads of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, when he put up 186 points in 112 games over two seasons.In the NHL, Voracek had never even broken the 50-point mark until the 2013-14 season.I think every year you kind of gain confidence and know what you can do, said Lecavalier, who broke out in his fifth NHL season in Tampa Bay. When I first got to the team last year, I thought he was just as good, just as strong and just as fast and smart on the ice. Hes an unbelievable player. Now you kind of see him racking up more points, but I think its confidence of knowing what you can do and maybe be more consistent throughout the year.Carter has won the Stanley Cup twice with the Los Angeles Kings, who acquired him from Columbus for Jack Johnson in February 2012. But Voracek is still growing into a dominant offensive player.You never know what your ceiling is, Voracek said. We leave everything out there every game. We hate losing. As long as your work ethics going to be there ... I cant really tell you how much better we can get.---Follow @SWhyno on Twitter Sam Mills Womens Jersey .com) - Virginia is for loving Latrell Scott. Taysom Hill Jersey . You can, too, Clay Buchholz, if we ignore the sixth inning of Game 2. Doug Fister and Jake Peavy, youre up next in Game 4 and theres a lot to live up to.Montreal, QC (SportsNetwork.com) - In his first NHL start not far from his hometown, Louis Domingue shook off a poor start to help the Arizona Coyotes top the Montreal Canadiens, 3-2, on Sunday. After allowing two goals in the first five minutes, Domingue, a native of Quebec, finished with 18 saves as Arizona improved to 2-3-2 on its ongoing eight-game road trip. I was told last night Id be playing getting into the hotel, said Domingue. I had at least 30 people here, and others were watching on television. Im really lucky to play my first game here in Montreal. Lauri Korpikoski scored two goals, and Oliver Ekman-Larsson also lit the lamp for the Coyotes. Montreal had its five-game winning streak snapped, the last two of which were shutouts from starting goalie Carey Price, who had the day off. Dustin Tokarski allowed three goals on 32 shots. Both Canadiens goals came courtesy of Alex Galchenyuk. With less than two minutes to play in the second period, Arizona finally broke through on the power play. Martin Erats shot was deflected out of midair by Korpikoski in front of the net, and video review confirmed it was a legal deflection below the crossbar. Arizona only needed 32 seconds in the third period to tie the game. Ekman- Larssons shot from a bad angle along the boards found its way pastt Tokarski for the equalizer. Custom New Orleans Saints Jerseys. Tokarski was good for part of the game, said Canadiens coach Michel Therrien. Im sure hed like to see the second goal again. Korpikoski was credited with his second power-play goal of the game three minutes later when his attempted cross-ice pass to Ekman-Larsson was kicked into the net by Alexei Emelin. The Canadiens were limited to five shots in both the second and third periods. A day after allowing seven goals to Ottawa, Arizona got off to another poor start. Just 75 seconds into the game, Galchenyuk carried the puck from the boards to the slot and wristed a shot by Domingue for the quick 1-0 lead. A few minutes later, Galchenyuk struck again for his 15th goal of the season right after the Coyotes killed a penalty. Montreal continued cycling the puck down low before David Desharnais found Galchenyuk in the slot to redirect the puck into the net.
