What a season it was for Mika Zibanejad. Entering the season with “doubts” that he could be a 1C, he torched the critics from the drop of the puck in the first game of the season. Despite an injury, Zibanejad finished among the league leaders in goals (41) and finished with a line of 41-34-75 (15-12-27 on the PP) in 57 games. He was the league leaders in goals per game (0.71) and had he continued that pace throughout an 82 game pace, he would have flirted with a 60-goal season. His five-goal game to beat the Washington Capitals in a must-win game gave me the inspiration to toy with those who doubted him with a tongue-in-cheek post.
