Are 50-goal scorers a thing of the past?
It all rests on Alex Ovechkin ... again.
Only he can save the NHL from going without a 50-goal scorer for the first time in a full season in the salary-cap era.
Maybe Ovechkin will do it again. He needs seven goals in his final 10
games. One should never bet against the Russian goal machine.
But
if he doesn't, the specter of the NHL's first full season without a
50-goal scorer since 2003-04 -- aka the Dead Puck Era -- certainly
underlines what everyone has known for a while: It's hard to score goals
in this league.
