Ghostsof1915 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Maybe he only shows up on short seasons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Aerosex Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Marleau's more talented than people give him credit for. But this hot start is just that. Pretty cool that he's got a record to his name though. It won't last because Kassian is going to concuss him, Prediction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 It's pretty freakin' incredible no doubt. Maybe he'll have his best years in his mid-30s? He's also nearing 400 goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboose Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 An incredibly offensively talented player is having a hot start playing with one of the best passers in the NHL against defencemen that may be out of shape? Who'da thunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoolander Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 He's a great player, but there's no way he can continue this pace...even with Thornton and Pavelski. If I remember correctly, Kessel and Lupul were on pace for about 250pts after the 1st 10 games of last season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rey Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 How many SCF games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkeeterHansen Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 If you really want to bring that up. Pavel Datsyuk has 33 goals in 126 playoff games. Marleau has 52 in 129. Marleau has always shown up in the playoffs. You can ask any San Jose fan. He's just unreasonably bashed. If those stats aren't good enough, he's also tied 2nd in GWG among active players. Jaromir Jagr is first, with 3 more and 50 more games. First among active players in Short handed goals. Only 33 years old. People are just too amused by Jeremy Roenick comments on Marleau last year, but truth is, Roenick is a nut and has had 13+ Concussions. Anyone who actually watches the sport knows whats going on.

Rey Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I was getting at the fact that he's put up a lot of playoff points, in a lot of playoff games...but never played in a SCF game. You know, where it matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rey Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 The problem with Marleau is that he is all-world one playoff series, and then suddenly craps the bed in the next. Reminds me of another former captain... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bure1994Mclean Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Pretty cool when stuff like this occurs, kinda reminds me of when Brian Boucher went on like a 6 game shut-out streak, it's nuts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Vintage Canuck- Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Marleau matches 96-year-old record with two goals in season’s first four games: San Jose’s Patrick Marleau became just the second player in NHL history to score multiple goals in the first four games of the season, leading the unbeaten Sharks to a 4-0 victory over visiting Colorado on Saturday. Marleau netted two first-period power play goals to become the first player to achieve the feat since the Ottawa Senators’ Cy Denneny in the NHL’s inaugural 1917-18 season, the league said on its website. Already the league leader in goals, Marleau struck twice in 80 seconds against the Avalanche to take his total to eight in the first four games. “I’ll take them as they come, trying to do the same thing, trying to work and going to those same areas,” he told reporters. “My linemates have been playing great, too.” Asked if he had been hoping for a hat trick in one of those two-goal games, Marleau replied: “It’d be nice, but I’m not going to get greedy.” The Sharks centre also picked up an assist on Joe Thornton’s second-period power play goal to give him 11 points this season. “I don’t know if he can keep scoring two goals every night, but he can keep his play up the way it’s been,” Sharks coach Todd McLellan told reporters. “He’s been skating extremely well. A ton of confidence. He’s prepared to shoot the puck. He’s engaged physically. It’s a great reward for him. He came focused to play.” Both of Marleau’s goals came after a big hit on Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog by Sharks defenseman Brad Stuart. Avalanche defenseman Ryan O’Byrne confronted Stuart after the hit and a long fight followed. O’Byrne received 19 penalty minutes, including a 10-minute misconduct. Stuart was penalized five minutes for fighting. Landeskog missed the rest of the first period before returning for the second. Rookie defenseman Matt Irwin delivered the Sharks’ other goal, also in the second period. Sharks netminder Thomas Greiss had 24 saves in his first start of the season to record his first NHL shutout. “I always had to make just the first save and they took care of the rest,” Greiss said. “Blocked a lot of shots, too. Made my life pretty easy today.” The Avalanche (2-2), who had won two in a row before Saturday’s game, fell to their ninth consecutive defeat on San Jose ice. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/hockey/marleau-matches-96-year-old-record-with-two-goals-in-seasons-first-four-games/article7895227/?cmpid=rss1&utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
