If you are a regular visitor at Notinhalloffame.com, you know that we created the Notinhalloffame NHL Cup, where in every regular season game, we award points (5-4-3-2-1) to the top five performers.  This is the third year that we have done this, and Edmonton’s Connor McDavid won the first two. To keep everyone regularly in the loop this time, we have decided to give regular updates, starting at Thanksgiving, and tell all of you the top ten.  We will be doing updates every Monday. (note, with it being New YEars, and only one game scheduled, we waited a day!) Here is the fifth current top ten in Notinhalloffame Cup Points: 1. David Pastrnak, Boston Bruins. 71 Cup Points:  35 Games, 22 G, 28 A, 50 P, +7, 6.1 PS. (#1 Last Week) The Boston Bruins (like last year) have been the best team early in the season, and it is David Pastrnak who has led their offensive threat.  He is the league-leader in Shots (163), is third in Points (50), sixth in Goals (22), and is Boston’s leading scorer, and is in the top ten in most essential offensive categories.  Could he win his first Hart? 2. Nikita Kucherov, Tampa Bay Lightning.  67 Cup Points, 37 Games, 26 G, 35 A, 61 P, +1, 7.0 PS.  (#2 Last Week) Kucherov is in his tenth season in Tampa, and is putting forth a season that could gain him another Hart or Art Ross.  He is leading the NHL in Points (61) and is second in both Goals (26) and Assists (35).  It is a minor surprise that he is not first in Cup Points, but he is getting closer and closer. 3.  Auston Matthews, Toronto Maple Leafs, 58 Cup Points:  33 Games, 29 G, 15 A, 44 P, +5, 5.8 PS. (#3 Last Week) The American sniper is back as the league’s top goal-scorer, holding the lead in that (29) and Even-Strength Goals (21).  If he holds that, Matthews will win his third Rocket Richard Trophy. 4. Filip Forsberg, Nashville Predators, 55 Cup Points:  37 Games, 18 G, 23 A, 41 P, +4, 4.7 PS (#4 Last Week) Forsberg is off to the best start of his career and should make his second All-Star Game, though other than Even-Strength Goals (3rd with 16) and Game-Winning Goals (6th with 4), he is not in the top ten in any major offensive category. …
