Which Team Scores 200 Goals First?

[Vadered]

Current standings:

Flyers: 188 goals in 57 games.
Wings: 191 goals in 57 games.
Canucks: 195 goals in 59 games.

Please note that these totals don't count "goals" each team got for winning in the shootout (2 for all 3 teams), as they are dumb.

Red Wings have a decent shot at making 60. Canucks are very likely to hit it in game 61 unless game 60 is a monster or they take a shutout. Flyers are furthest out of the top 3, but their game 61 is against the Islanders, so they'll probably get it there.

My guess is
Red Wings: 60.
Canucks: 61.
Flyers: 61.

Redwings are now at 197 with the Nucks with 1 game in hand.

I would think they will score at least 3 in their next game.

Shhhhhhh, it's still sleeping

BOOM... Nuckers set the mark.

(Fuck Dallas!)

Not so fast there partner. Wings and flyers still have 2 games in hand on the nucks. Flyers are improbably to break it, but the wingers need a 3 goal game and it is theirs.

They got my vote

Red Wings had a chance today but fell 1 goal short of 200.

The Red Wings can still be the 1st team to 200 provided that they score 1 goal in their next game before the 7:39 mark of the 3rd period.

Don't know why you guys let the teams have the "goal" that the NHL awards for winning a shootout. That's just lame to me.

I'll write a letter to the NHL right now.

Lighten up Francis.

hey, the Canucks made it in 60 the old fashioned way.
(sitting at 202 by NHL's count)

Have the Canucks not had a shootout win this season?

They've had 2, which puts them at 200 even. Go to NHL.com and sort by goals/period. Vancouver has 54/67/77, with 2 more in OT. That adds up to 200.

Wings are at 196, Flyers 194, both at 59 games. Looks like the Canucks have it.

I don't mean to be a jerk, but it bothers me that the NHL awards a goal to the team. It's not credited to anyone, and it can decide a playoff spot (goal differential is a tiebreaker, albeit a low one).

Is it a minor quibble? Yep. Not really worth worrying over? Yep. Am I annoyed by it anyway? Yep!

Gotcha. Thanks.

With a goal scored in the 2nd period, the Red Wings are the 1st team to score 200 goals the quickest as per the guidelines and current standings that are in place currently in the NHL.

If you don't like it, go complain on the internet!

and when you look at Vadered's rules... you know.... actual goals scored,
Nucks were about 2 minutes faster than the Wings to get to 200.
(56:26 of game 60 for Nucks, versus 58:09 of games 60 for Wings)
