Tourny Scoring Leader

Right now Bergeron and Crosby are tied with 6 points in 2 games. After Malkin and Ovechkin play their second game they should be up there as well. Who do you think will lead the Tourny in Scoring?

Aki Berg! :yo:

Ovechkin get my vote.

Crosby

I'm hoping that it will be Ovechkin (or Semin), but I also put some money on Crosby and Malkin, so I definitely wouldn't mind one of them winning either. For this poll I'll say Malkin, just so the Crosby camp can't accuse me of homerism :sarcasm:

I don't really care about stat padding against Norway or Kazahkstan though. I'll be more interested in seeing how these guys do against top level competition later on in the tournament.

Sid
AO
Malkin
Bergeron
Semin
in that order!

Would it be a major surprise if Sid lead in points and AO in goals?

Ovechkin but i'd say Semin will score a lot too

A homer choice Bergeron like at the 2004 Junior championship !!! :bow:

Ovechkin's washed up. My pick is John Tavares.

I voted for 'other' as I would love
to see Kopitar do the trick.

Would really be something.

Seems to be Sid leading AO by about 2 to 1. They each have 3 points per game. I wonder if the polling would be different if AO had played 2 games to Sid's 1, with AO leading 6 points to 3?

In Ovechkin - Malkin duo, Ovechkin will score, Malkin will pass :)
So I voted for Ovechkin :handclap:

Well i meant scoring leader as in points leader. Ovechkin will probably have the most goals in the tourny judging by game one and who he has setting him up.

other: Hilbert








:sarcasm:


but seriously, Crosby

Ovyechkin?

Ovyechkin?
Ovechkin ! :handclap:

Ovechkin's washed up. My pick is John Tavares.
Seriously, he's quick moving away from prospect status, therefore he will soon suck on HFBoards.

Ovechkin, because Russia seems more apt to run up scores in these tournaments. Canada seems to pull up after they get a big lead like they did yesterday.So, i think it will be AO, but Malkin,Crosby and Bergeron could all have a shot at it.

Hmmm....I think AO , SC and EM end up tied, or within a point of each other. Just because I just know they've gopt a pact between themselves to drive the fans nuts. :D

BTW, way to jinx Ovechkin people :cry:

Seems to be Sid leading AO by about 2 to 1. They each have 3 points per game. I wonder if the polling would be different if AO had played 2 games to Sid's 1, with AO leading 6 points to 3?

they both have played two games sid has 6pts AO has 3pts

do russia and canada play eachother?

Yeah, rough game today for Malkin, Semin & AO in terms of points.

But they got the win.

A.o.

Nikulin

do russia and canada play eachother?

Not before the quarters. Maybe in the knockout round. Hopefully in the finals...

That would make a great final. Hard to say if one or both will be there at this point.

Ovechkin isn't looking that good. I'd like to say Malkin, but it's probably Crosby.

Early to count AO out but Crosby, Bergeron and Malkin are looking pretty good.

Crosby.

Zetterberg.

I wouldn't count AO out just yet either. Their playing a team today where they can run up the score and there are lots of games left in the tourney.I expect at least a 4 point game for AO today.This is the kind of game he excels at.

:biglaugh:

Did you actually watch Ovechkin play?

Ovechkin is now only 1 pt back. Same for Malkin. Sounds like they both played well.

Should be a good finish. It's good to see all the young guns living up to and/or exceeding the lofty expectations. Not that we need any further assurance of how good Crosby, Ovechkin and Malkin are. This tournament is only half over!

Dunno...Canada's playing Latvia, probably can expect Crosby to get a few points out of that.He's been quite effective that way the last few months. Also, apparently, some of team Russia caught the flu, which is why they were kind of ineffective the previous two games.

Crosby has already won it. Only one who can steal it from him now is Bergeron and that's very unlikely.

The Latvia game is a travesty...

How has he already won it, aren't there a few more games to go?

What a joke. Ovechkin got all his points against the worst two teams in the entire tournament, yet you try to make it sound like that's all Crosby is capable of. Do you have any other fabricated and pre-packaged excuses you want to share with us? It seems like you've been dreaming them up for some time now.

I suggest you go back to the WHC when Ovechkin was 18 years old, and make up excuses why he only had 1G and 1A in 7 games... Crosby's hitting double digits half way through the tournament at age 18 - but I'm sure you have some well planned excuses for that too!

I fail to see how noting that Crosby has been playing well the past few months is offensive.

It seems you may have read a little more into my posts then was there.

Hard to win it when you dont play for 2 periods of games lol.

I'd love Erat to win it. Talk about the ultimate darkhorse.

who is the all time scoring leader in world championship, and who has the record for most pts in a tournament. Does anyone know?

Bergeron :yo: or Boyes

lol erat... and looks like some nashville fans voted ;)

who is the all time scoring leader in world championship, and who has the record for most pts in a tournament. Does anyone know?

Don't know, but I'm pretty sure both of their names end with ...ov ;)

Sid picks up two in the first against Latvia, one goal and one assist, but sits most of the rest of the game along with Bergeron who picked up a single point in spite of a 11-0 win. They may have done a little better in a more competitive game where they played the whole game. I guess there are plenty of those games to come. They are now one-two in scoring with 9 and 8 points.

Didn't see the Russian game but it looks like AO did well in the early going also (when the score was reasonably close) picking up two assists then later a goal. Malkin picked up an assist. They are tied for third with 6 points each along with Jason Williams who picked up a goal and 3 assists against Latvia, all 4 points coming early in the game, though I'm not sure if he was "benched" along with Sid and Patrice.

So they are your 5 top in the hunt for the WC "Art Ross".

Sid and AO are top one and two, with 5 and 4 goals respectively in the hunt for the WC "Rocket Richard" followed closely by eight others with 3 goals each.

Crosby looks to be in best form of the two.

Don't know, but I'm pretty sure both of their names end with ...ov ;)
umm

Fedorov.. I don't think so

Kozolov.. I don't think soo

anyone know for sure?

I think you have to go deeper. To the times when the Red Machine dominated these type of tourneys and ran up scores on pretty much everyone. I'd go with the KLM boys, Sergei Makarov specifically. And I bet that Vyacheslav Fetisov is the all-time defensmen scorer in WCs. If only I could get stats now...

I was thinking about Makarov I wasnt sure. thanks anyways. :)

Vladimir Petrov had 18-16-34 in 1973. Boris Mikhailov had 16-13-29 and Valery Kharlamov had 9-14-23 that year. Shockingly enough, the 86 points they had as a line is also a record. I believe their line still has the second best total as well with 56 points in 1977.

How many games did they play in 73?


EDIT: Anze Kopitar is now at 7 points (2 assists today) and has games left and the opponents are something like Kazaktsan and/or Italy etc.

10 games. Including a 20-0 win over Poland where the big line scored 14 goals.

Does anyone know a good website that has stats for the WC? I've looked on ESPN.com and can't find any. Does TSN's website have any? Is there an official WC website?

Thanks

Here's hoping Kopitar can do it!

Yep. And the all time scoring leader is Boris Mikhailov with 169 points. Kharlamov had 159, Maltsev 156 and Petrov 154. The best non-Russian is Sweden's Sven Tumba: 5th with 127 points.

Yeah, I know. I don't think they do it now either. Do they? But thanks for the report.
