Odd, is he sending a message to eichel

[Eleven]

Odd, is he sending a message to eichel

 

If I'm reading it right--I may not be--it means that Housley matched up Eichel against Carolina's worst players, which isn't a bad strategy.

[Weave]

If I'm reading it right--I may not be--it means that Housley matched up Eichel against Carolina's worst players, which isn't a bad strategy.

And what is really telling is Jack’s lack of impact playing against The Canes worst.

That makes sense, I'm still confused with this all, I guess that makes me worry even more about eichel

They may not be their worst defensive players, though. All it tells us is that Phil doesn't trust Jack to defend against their best offensive players.

[woods-racer]

Faulk and Scandella have been very pleasant surprises.

 

They are getting tough minutes and doing well. Scandella shouldn't have been thrust into top pairing and Faulk into top four, but they have been and have played above my expectations.

 

The O'Reilly / Pouliot line is the only forward line that is playing up to expectations. Tough minutes and holding their own if not better.

 

The rest of the team is slightly to majorly underachieving.

 

Kane is the wild card. He plays his style and has not let of the gas.

By the low-ness of the Columbus numbers I would have thought somewhere within the Sabres line up that someone would have had a good night.

[rakish]

No, I think it means that Columbus does not get a lot of PP minutes

[woods-racer]

No, I think it means that Columbus does not get a lot of PP minutes

 

Thank you for clarifying.

 

Is that because they don't have the speed and skill to draw penalties?

 

Or, do you believe it's  more of a *puck luck* scenerio that has them at a 30th (?) ranked PP ?

[rakish]

I was just guessing.

 

Now that I look at the team stats, Columbus is second lowest in the league for PP attempts, which is the number that makes today's numbers small

 

As to why, I don't know

With Reinhart playing more top six minutes it shows in his number, he seems to be playing better also.

 

Girgensons seems to be in Housleys dog house. I'm not sure if he's ever going to get another coach like Nolan. I thought by now he would be some what effective.

At least he up-coached.

[woods-racer]

Thanks rakish for plugging away!

 

It's just proof that week after week some very high 1st round draft picks on his team are not pulling their weight. The real problem is we have a gaggle of them and we can't just replace them in the near future. They where supposed to be our future.

Thanks for the input, I would have lost motivation weeks ago, but enough people look at it each game, so I spend the 10 minutes required.

So if I'm reading this right, these are the rankings of players you believe play against the opponents most offensively gifted forwards?

[rakish]

Not rankings, time. When Risto was on the ice, his opponent forwards played on the power play the most, in his case an average of 9.61 playing even strength.

So if Risto's on the ice against Rantenen (5.06), MacKinnon (4.88), and Landeskog (4.66), his total for that segment would be roughly 14.5, total up all the segments, multply by the time of the segment, divide by total seconds on ice at even strength, gives Risto his number
