French Collection Posted February 14 Report Posted February 14 1 hour ago, Norcal said: Damn Sam I find the Selke voters seem to hand it out as a consolation prize to someone who will never win a scoring title or an MVP but who puts up good offensive numbers and is reliable defensively. Never seems to be a pure defensive guy like Danault. Gainey and Ramsay were true Selke guys in my mind. 3 Quote
thewookie1 Posted February 14 Report Posted February 14 One agitation about the current standings system This season has truly been odd for us between our solid 5v5 stats, low goal differential and the fact we have 21 out of 23 wins in regulation. We're in 4th in RWs in the Atlantic Division. So frankly this year would look a lot different if we had some PP goals and few more OT Losses versus regulation losses. That doesn't mean it makes this season any less annoying but it is rather interesting to look at. 1 Quote

It was a signal more than a year before the Eichel trade that Eichel was gone as well as his inner circle. 3 hours ago, thewookie1 said: I can't exactly go after Adams for giving another 1 year deal during COVID and under Krueger's "guidance" I can. 2 Quote
PerreaultForever Posted February 14 Report Posted February 14 9 hours ago, French Collection said: I think Buffalo passes those three teams before the season ends. They won’t make the playoffs but will finish stronger than their first 50 games. Almost every year the playoff teams have positive goal differentials so I can see NYI, Caps and Habs dropping. I know fancy stats are painting a new picture but goal differential was a metric that Bowman used to describe good teams. Oh I think it's a fine statistic to look at but in the end there are always exceptions to almost every stat and the only one that matters is win percentage.ti I think Washington definitely drops. NYI probably but they are a veteran team, might still pull off a deadline deal and the Roy effect is unknown. Montreal is an odd one. I didn't expect them to be (relatively) even with us and thought they were in for the multi year rebuild but they seem to be doing a very good job. They are less skilled but also a much tougher team than us and they might (stress "might") be better than us down the stretch if grittier playoff style hockey comes into play. Ottawa is playing better as well so even with improved play, we could still finish dead last in the division. Quote

SwampD Posted February 15 Report Posted February 15 Crosby is awesome. Gentzel was getting work over by a D man so he went over and kneed him in the nuts. I think our only chance tomorrow is a back up goalie and the 2nd of a back to back. 1 Quote

mjd1001 Posted February 15 Report Posted February 15 MacKenzie Weeger. Good D-man. But 8th year in the league, 30 years old. Never scored more than 8 goals in a year. Averaged 6.5 goals per 82 games before this year. 7th round pick so didn't have a high pedigree coming into the league. This year? leading the league in goals from the blue line (Dahlin is 2nd). On pace for 23-24 this season over 82 games. Had 31 TOTAL over the rest of his career. Did not see that coming. Quote

The contract is long but with his skating and brains I don’t see him as a guy that falls off a cliff. In my mind their biggest need is a top end RHD to pair with Power long term and help him along.
