Gilmour on Marner's record Maple Leafs run: 'Some guys are different, and he is one of those guys' Via koshtorontosun
“I had no idea ,” Gilmour said with a laugh on Sunday afternoon during a phone interview with theFact is, Gilmour won’t be the least bit surprised if Marner runs his point streak to 20 games when the Leafs play the Dallas Stars on Tuesday night before heading home for three games. The Leafs’ record of 18 consecutive games with at least one point, set by Darryl Sittler in 1977-78 and tied by Eddie Olczyk in 1989-90, went by the wayside when Marner scored shorthanded versus the Lightning.
Gilmour, rightfully so, is as impressed by Marner’s complete game as he is by the 19-game consistency. “His name has to be up there for the Selke, and it’s early in the season, I get it, don’t fast-forward it or anything, but that’s how good he is,” Gilmour said. “You put him out there and he is going to find a way to steal a puck, or make a play and that’s his creativity, but also the skill, the way he sees the game.
One Leafs record held by Gilmour — his 127 points in 1992-93 are the most by a Toronto player in one season — appears safe. Auston Matthews had just the fifth 100-point season in Leafs history when he recorded 106 in 2021-22, and in the past 20 years in the NHL, only one player, Tampa’s Nikita Kucherov has had more than 127.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.“The biggest thing with the kids is stay healthy,” Gilmour said. “And then you might have that opportunity. Records are there to be broken, I know that’s a cliche.
