What the hell is the St. Louis scoring boost coefficient? I will buy and eat a hat before Burakovsky wins the Richard/Kapanen scores 50 points.

Well those players have scored a combined 25 goals so far in no more than 7 games each, so I'd say it's pretty accurate barring technical details like Andre "0 goals 2 assists playing with Ovechkin and Kuznetsov" Burakovsky winning the Art Ross.

Team stats:

#1 in GF

#24 in GA
#14 in SOG against
#27 in SV%
#1 in PPs
#9 in PPG
#23 in PP%
#30 in PIM
#10 in PPGA
#31 in PK%

So basically league-best offense and discipline, average defense, mediocre PP boosted by drawing tons of penalties, near league-worst goaltending and PK. I guess they didn't get enough practice killing penalties or something.

Huberdeau tied Reggie Leach and Jari Kurri for most goals in a single playoff run. Andre Burakovsky tied Joe Sakic for the 2nd most goals in a single playoff run.

Sixteen players have had 12 or more goals in a single playoff run since 05/06. The Blues just had three in one year. Nineteen players have had 24 or more points in one playoff run since then, the Blues had five.

lol Chad Johnson. He should have outplayed Reimer if he wanted the Conn Smythe.

I'm amazed that the Blues managed to compile such ridiculous playoff numbers while still losing 6 games.

e: were my custom tactics responsible for any of this? I normally let the coach do whatever they want as I can't be bothered to do anything more than tweak lines slightly every few games.
