matter2003 Posted October 19, 2022 Report Share Posted October 19, 2022 (edited) Record is held by Lawrence "Baldy" Northcutt way back in 1932-1933 with the Montreal Maroons! Dahlin is the only other defenseman besides Victor Hedman back in 2013-2014 to score in 3 consecutive games since ex-Sabre Calle Johansson in 1992-1993 did it with Washington. UPDATE: NHL apparently has concluded that Baldy played forward some of those games so he does not count in this record and it is Dahlin's alone!

The topic of the thread is that he can tie an NHL record for goals in consecutive games to start the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's gonna need some multi-goal games pretty soon just to even tie Gretzky's 92 in a season. He better get a'crackin'. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorny Posted October 19, 2022 Report Share Posted October 19, 2022 (edited) I honestly wouldn’t say it’s “crazy” when a player, especially of Dahlin’s pedigree, develops...during the young-age time-frame when players generally develop. Especially when you add in the obvious Krueger factor. I think the words they were actually looking for was that they were “wrong”, not that Dahlin being good is crazy. I, others told anyone who would listen the data was there saying Dahlin would likely still be very good, acting like it’s crazily coming out of nowhere seems a bit disingenuous. This was always a *reasonable* possibility Edited October 19, 2022 by Thorny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skibum Posted October 19, 2022 Report Share Posted October 19, 2022 Crazy that this record stands at just 4 freaking games after a century of seasons. Borque, Coffey, Lidstrom, Niedermeyer, Bobby freaking Orr? Nobody??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that in this tweet he was just trying to express that the improvement in Dahlin’s play over the last year has been extreme. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borque, Coffey, Lidstrom, Niedermeyer, Bobby freaking Orr? Nobody??? For clarity just in case, it seems the record is for the team's first games, not any four consecutive games. Hopefully he gets one tonight and we can move on to the other mark which carries a lot more stature. Looked it up. 8 games, Mike Green. https://records.nhl.com/records/skater-records/scoring-streaks/longest-consecutive-goal-streak-defenseman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

French Collection Posted October 20, 2022 Report Share Posted October 20, 2022 Sure would be something to have mentioned in the same breath as Baldy Northcutt. Seriously though, I’d like to see him do it for two more games and own that record. TSN talked about the Norris trophy predictions the other night. One analyst said it was Makar’s for the next ten years. I think he will win many of them but I’m sure Dahlin will be on a ballot soon.
