Some potential history in the making...

[chootoi]

So I’ve been doing some research, and since 1988 there have only been 3 teams to have 6 different 30-goal scorers on the roster. With 18 games left in the regular season, the Wildcats could potentially be the 4th. Here’s how it stands today:

Mckenna (29)
Cyr (27)
Fortier (25)
Khovanov (24)
Pelletier (24)
Groulx (23)

Here is the full list of teams with the accomplishment:

2011-12 Victoriaville
2000-01 Val-d’Or
1995-96 Granby
1987-88 St. Jean
1986-87 Shawinigan
1985-86 Chicoutimi
1983-84 Laval
1982-83 Chicoutimi, Laval
1980-81 Cornwall, Sherbrooke
1979-80 Cornwall, Montreal
1978-79 Trois Rivieres, Sherbrooke, Cornwall
1976-77 Chicoutimi, Trois Rivieres
1975-76 Trois Rivieres, Sherbrooke
1974-75 Sherbrooke, Montreal
1973-74 Sorel, Montreal
1972-73 Quebec, Sorel

Now for the history part. The Cats have 211 goals as of today and are on pace for 287 for the season. If that all aligns, this would make them by far the lowest scoring team to have accomplished the feat (Victo’s 311 total goals in 2011-12 is the lowest). They would also be the ONLY team in league history to do it with under 300 total goals. They could potentially also be the only team to do it without a 40-goal scorer (as of today Mckenna is on pace for exactly 40).

Still lots of games to play but it’s fun to watch. Will they make it?

2013 Moose had 6 30-goal scorers: MacKinnon, Drouin, Frk, Boudreau, Fournier, MacAulay.

It's a rare accomplishment for sure though. You need that consistency in the playoffs, as there's always one or two players that seem to disappear when the games get tougher.

technically Groulx wouldnt count tho since many of his goals were scored for another team

and Fortier. But I don't think that the requirement is that everyone had to play the whole season with that one team?

But he would still be a 30 goal scorer. I think we are looking at teams that were more formidable coming playoff time, and whether Groulx or Fortier scored all of their goals here or not, they are still here now and are part of our arsenal.

I find that this team still has not quite gelled yet. We are out shooting teams greatly most nights but not often blowing anybody out. We seem to pass one too many times so often instead of taking the shot on an odd-man rush.

Maybe this week we'll see a few blow-out wins.

11 days later and Khovanov & Fortier have hit 30

Pelletier needs 2 & Groulx needs 3.

Barring an injury it should be a pretty sure bet at this point.

This might be controversial but given this 16-0-1-0 run I think we can say they've gelled.

QMJHL record for most shutout wins in a season: 11. That record was set by Rouyn-Noranda in 2018-2019. 

Moncton currently has 9 this season. 

Something else to keep an eye on.

You're really going out on a limb there...

So I’ve been doing some research, and since 2006 Wildcats have not won a game at the Memorial Cup. The streak continues. I see Drakker upset coming.

Billy, time to change your name. I found the REAL Captain Obvious.
