Leafs @ Stars - Jan. 29th, 7:30pm - SN, Fan 590

Kerfoot isn?t very good.  Not having Mikheyev has really hurt JT too.  Kerfoot is not a top 6 skater.

I blame Muzzin to. Who was he covering? Headed towards the boards to take a guy without the puck and opened up tons of room. Stay in the middle of the ice.

Yes, I think it was 50/50 on both Muzzin and Kerfoot.  Credit of course to Garionov for his speed but still.
 
As much as most of you disagree thats why you need someone with a little bit of snarl.
3 times Benn took runs at our guys. First was Sandin, then Ceci and then tried to hit Matthews into the boards and Auston seen him coming and side stepped him.
Have no-one to stand up to him and he knows it.

Cheechoo was the first guy I thought to check and while he had a tie in goals->points it also came in a season where he played 7 less games. But his whole post-56 goal season career was close:

56 goals -> 69 points
37 goals -> 37 points (in 7 less games)
23 goals -> 29 points
12 goals -> 14 points

I thought of Cheechoo, as well, but, even though he was close, he didn't quite do it.

But, Grabner did - 34 goals in 76 games in 10/11. 32 points in 78 games in 11/12. He also did the reverse - 18 points in 80 games in 15/16, 27 goals in 76 games in 16/17. I can't imagine too many players have pulled that off in seasons where they didn't miss many games.

Just for fun I thought I'd look into this using data from the last 15 full seasons (since the lockout season), filtering for players who played a minimum of 55 games in both seasons being compared. I did the comparison using G/GP and Pts/GP rather than total goals just to account for the likely difference in total games played.

Adam Mair
- 2009-10 scored 6 goals for Buffalo in 69 games
- 2010-11 totaled 4 points for the Devils in 65 games

Alex Semin
- 2013-14 scored 22 goals in 65 games for the Canes
- 2014-15 scored 19 points in 57 games for the Canes (.33 Pts/GP vs .34 G/GP)

Alex Burrows
- 2016-17 racked up 15 goals in 79 games split between Vancouver and Ottawa
- 2017-18 he nose-dived down to only 14 points in 71 games for the Sens

Alexei Ponikarovsky
- 2010-11 he scored 21 goals in 77 games split between the Leafs and Pens
- 2011-12 he nosedived to 15 points in 61 games for the Kings (he recovered for double that the following year for the Canes/Devils)

Blake Comeau
- 2010-11 he scored 24 goals for the Isles in 77 games
- 2011-12 he crapped out with only 15 points in 74 games split between Isles and Flames (the following year he was also horrible for the Jackets)

Bobby Holik
- 2007-08 he scored 15 in 82 games in his last year in Atlanta
- 2008-09 he crashed and burned with only 9 points in 62 games for the Devils

Brendon Morrow's career came to a screeching halt...
- was a stud for Dallas with 23, 32, 20, and 33-goal seasons in 2005-11
- 2011-12 he sank to 11 goals and 26 points in 82 games which only barely kept this season from being a bust
- he missed the 2012-13 season completely
- 2013-14 he scored 13 in 71 games after signing a 1 year deal with the Blues
- 2014-15  he only managed 8 points in 70 games for the Bolts, his final year in the league

Chris Stewart
- started off as a stud for the Avs with 28 goals in 77 games in 2009-10
- 2010-11 he followed that up with 28 goals in 62 games split between the Avs and Blues
- 2011-12 crashed down to only 30 points in 79 games with the Blues

David Clarkson (surprise!) (NOT!)
- 2011-12 he somehow got 30 in 80 games for the Devils
- 2012-13 painful reminder that as the Leafs' big UFA signing he only managed 11 points in 60 games *sigh*

Dustin Penner
- 2010-11 he had 23 goals in 81 games split between the Oilers and Kings
- 2011-12 he only managed 17 points  in 65 for the Kings

Jason Chimera
- 2016-17 he managed 20 goals in 82 games for the Isles (after multiple decent seasons with the Caps)
- 2017-18 he nose-dived down to only 13 points in 74 games split between the Isles and Ducks and retired at the end of that season

Jeff Skinner
- 2013-14 33 goals in 71 games for the Canes
- 2014-15 shockingly bad with only 31 points in 77 games
- 2015-16 bounced back with 28 goals and then a whopping 37 goals in 2016-17

Jordan Staal
- 2006-07 rookie campaign with 29 goals in 81 games for the Pens
- 2007-08 second year blues 28 points in 82 games
- ever since then he's been a reliable 50-point player for Pitt/Car

Marian Gaborik
- ended his career with a great 2014-15 season with the Kings, including 27 goals in 69 games
- but then 2015-16 only managed 21 points in 56 games, then retired

Mike Knuble
- 2010-11 had 24 goals in 79 games for the Caps as his career was winding down
- 2011-12 plunged down to 18 points in 72 games with the Caps and that was it

Olli Jokinen
- 2013-14 he played 82 games for the Jets and racked up 18 goals (about average for him though at one time he had 3 consecutive 30+ goal seasons for the  Panthers
- 2014-15 was a horrible end to his career with only 10 points in 62 games as he bounced around between Preds, Leafs (very briefly) and Blues

Rene Bourque
- 2010-11 was the last of his great seasons with the Flames, racking up 27 goals in 80
- 2011-12 he only managed 24 points in 76 games in a season where he was traded to the Habs

Shane Doan
- was so great for so long for the Yotes, regularly racking up 20- to 30-goal seasons
- 2016-17 he should have retired...his 27 points in 74 games didn't even match the 28 goals in 72 games from the previous season

I skipped a bunch of other lesser-known names, D-men who had changing rolls, or bottom-6 players who never really had much of a scoring reputation
 
Because you are a very valuable poster here I am going to overlook your bringing up Clarkson.  This time.
