Yeah, that was sort of my point. If Matthews or Laine scores, say, 68 points but split 35-33, that's going to win out over Marner throwing up a 20-50 and I think the more impressive the goal total the more Marner would have to lead the point total with to be a real contender. Like if Matthews or Laine has 40 goals and 70 points, I think Marner would need 80-90 points to crack some first place votes.

The highlight of this goal is obviously JvR, but what I'd like to put a spotlight on is Marner's move shortly before getting his shot blocked.
This is something he and other skilled players do a lot (Gardiner, especially). He takes the return pass at the side wall and he is open to the defense. The forwards draw towards him to start screening point passes, and Marner immediately pivots around the mostly stationary puck. This changes the opportunity angles from blocked passes to open shooting lane while the puck stays in its current safe location.
Then he purposely dives into the PK box to draw the defense away from the net front, as he's really shooting for a rebound here for JvR, who is on his open side, or Bozak in the slot. Then he rolls out as the high slot in case the rebound comes out past Bozak.
JvR shows pass with his stick, but he actually never even looks up, and catches Nilsson cheating off the post to cover the slot pass with a nearly impossible slice of cheddar.

Marner named Rookie of the Month for January. He scored 15 points in 13 games.
The Leafs have dominated this award. Nylander won it in October, Matthews in December, and Marner now makes it 3 outta 4.
