Cole Caufield tells a reporter his thoughts on his goal-scoring ability
The Canadiens lost 4-3 in a shootout Saturday night in New York, but Cole Caufield shined in the defeat with two goals.
The count is now down to six after as many games, while last year it took him 21 games to score that many. Let's say it's a very different observation.
He is the second highest scorer in the NHL, tied with Artemi Panarin and one behind Nikita Kucherov. Let's say that he is in very good company at the start of the season.
Moreover, a journalist asked him after the meeting if he feels more comfortable with his shot than last year. He talks about shooting angles, how Cole seems more effective, and the answer means a lot.
Ask a scorer if they feel more comfortable and they will tell you the same thing. It's not a question of ease, sometimes it fits, other times it doesn't.
Cole was the first to say last year that it's extremely difficult to score goals in the NHL and that his 28 goals suited him perfectly. He made this journalist understand that we should not try to make him say the opposite.
No hard feelings! Cole is once again demonstrating how well he can score goals at important moments and we love it!
