![]() ![]() I was very impressed with Point’s consistency this season when it came to scoring goals. It’s time, let’s break through the national media noise the Lightning still can’t find a way to be heard in and do it. At the very least give him a Lady Byng (if he could stay out of fights next season maybe he can win one). This was an award-winning year for Point, but he didn’t get his flowers in the Hart, Lindsay, Rocket, or Selke because of four names: Connor, McDavid, Patrice, and Bergeron. He also shot at the highest rate of his career (21%!) to boost an excellent year into extraordinary heights. It genuinely would’ve taken all night to load up every NHL.com goal highlight video and watch them, which is what I did for the low-scoring defenders and defenders playing forward earlier in the series (I’m looking at you, Pebbles).īrayden Point rips the puck into the top corner of the net on a rebound for a power-play goal, making it 3-0 Lightning in the 3rdĪfter a down year in 2021-22 where he scored at less than 1 goal per 60 minutes and his shot share fell to just barely above 50%, Brayden Point came back with a bang, setting a career high in goals, 5v5 goals (29), and expected goals. It would’ve been so much harder to choose a goal of the year without them. Speaking of watching Point goals, I also want to give a thank you to this youtube channel for having compilations of the bigger scoring seasons on the Lightning. This goal showed all of Point’s best attributes so I hope you enjoyed watching it. I don’t think we appreciate enough Point’s ability to find the net at tight angles close to the create and send the puck where he wants it to go despite having to have his stick in weird positions. Not to mention he picked the far top corner on the backhand over Grubauer’s shoulder and elbow at an insanely tight angle and trajectory. The acceleration he created in the neutral zone to make the four defenders against him look absolutely stationary was impressive to say the least. There were some others that I’ve shared below where Point just embarrasses some defenders and goalies, but this goal where he shows off his high end speed and puck handling at said speed takes the cake for me. Probably Point’s most dynamic goal of the year here. Brayden Point shows off some smooth moves with the puck to get past the defense and score, widening the Lightning’s lead to 4-1 in the 2nd ![]()
