Hey look, Weise isn't on the second line anymore! Oh... Marc Antoine Godin @MAGodin 1h1 hour ago Les trios du CH: Pacioretty-Galchenyuk-Gallagher, Sekac-Plekanec-Prust, PAP-Eller-Desharnais, Weise-Malhotra-Andrighetto (Bournival). At least Beaulieu is still playing!

Over the shoulder? Hah! That's for gimmicky hacks!! They lit Tokarski the gently caress up earlier this season at least

Spamtron7000 posted:So far, Peters' strategy is "make myself big and hope they don't shoot it over my shoulder". They shoot it over his shoulder. I was at the Caps/Lightning game the other night and watched Peters warming up. He let in so many unscreened warmup shots. It was pretty funny since I figured he wasn't starting and I guess I shouldn't judge him on warmup too much but drat he's bad.

Josh Yote was saying last night that he took and passed the concussion test but IDK how much I'd put in to that. If I had the time today I'd go back and gif him on the ice with his eyes looking as if they were looking in completely opposite directions cause holy poo poo. Edit: He's also saying there's a good chance of the Jeff Zatkoff Experience tonight. Something tells me I'm going to be busy while this game is on. :|

Via Scott Cullen:quote:Andy Greene – The Devils blueliner was buried in the defensive zone against Tampa Bay Friday, finishing with 13.8% possession (4 shot attempts for, 25 against), paired mostly with Jon Merrill and matched frequently against Tampa Bay’s top line of Steven Stamkos, Jonathan Drouin and Ryan Callahan. The key phrase is highlighted. But drat, two guys who were at nearly 58% as a top pairing getting crushed like that when separated, even if it's only one game. Also from that article, the top scoring forward duos in the league: code:

Well I mean I can see a guy having an abnormally high shooting percentage even over the course of an entire year, it's not like that hasn't happened before. So if Seguin scored 60 goals this year shooting at an absurd percentage, it wouldn't be crazy (Stamkos shot nearly 20 percent when he scored 60 goals, though he generally has an absurdly high shooting percentage at a career 17.4). However I'd be surprised if he scored 60 while shooting at 20 percent or so and then went out and did it again the following year. e: compared to when Ovechkin scored 65 goals shooting at 14.6% goddamn he loving shoots the puck a lot Levitate fucked around with this message at 20:19 on Dec 23, 2014 |

Say what you will about Doug Wilson doing dumb poo poo, there are still some amazing scouts in the Sharks org. Having Melker Karlsson and Barclay Goodrow around has been a godsend, both of them have been spectacular as bottom six depth forwards given that they were undrafted free agents plucked out of nowhere in particular.

The Canucks' miraculous ability to turn nothing undrafted UFAs into serviceable NHL players is almost good enough to excuse a decade of shoddy drafting. If you pretend the Canucks drafted Burrows, Tanev and Lack then it suddenly seems like their scouts know what they're doing.

There are guys like that every once in a while. Tanguay is another one (19% career shooting over almost 1000 games is nuts, but the guy only shoots a little more than once a game).

Look Around You posted:With how awful the Penguins were for the first 50 minutes, them coming away with a point is impressive. I mean, it's kind of bound to happen when your team dresses 7 defensemen, six of which were either not in the NHL or were Rob Scuderi on opening day, and the entire third line is out due to injury.

Seguin is gonna have Jamie Benn on his wing for the foreseeable future, and if Valeri Nichushkin can ever stay healthy, that's gonna be a gross line for a lot of years. Plus Spezza is one of the best passers in the league and he's feeding him on the powerplay. I think he could probably keep putting up points for a while God that trade was loving awful, although it's always fun listening to my Bruins fans friends try to rationalize how the Bruins won it

Some guys just only seem to want to take shots when it's a really good scoring chance instead of launching shots on net from anywhere even if there's a very small chance of it resulting in a goal, so I'd probably expect their shooting percentages to be higher if they have any bit of goal scoring talent

I know the Bruins lost that trade and I'm a Bruins fan. I sort of understand why they did it, but I think it was a knee-jerk reaction and they needed to have a little more patience with Seguin. I also think Erikkson hasn't really lived up to being the Patrice Bergeron clone he was billed as... The second the trade was made the Bruins lost it. I'm just glad it wasn't as horrific a trade as the Joe Thornton trade.

Plus Spezza is one of the best passers in the league and he's feeding him on the powerplay. I think he could probably keep putting up points for a while Seguin's great but he had 300+ regular and post-season NHL games coming into this season and his shooting percentage over the first thousand shots of his career was just over 10%. This season it's almost 20%. His assist rate is the same as it was last year. His shot rate is up but not significantly (and I'm not sure he's a guy who will shoot 4 times every game over a long stretch, but he's clearly a volume shooter). He's having a great start to the year and if he keeps it up it'll be a fantastic year. It's not a year he's likely to repeat anytime soon. His low mark should still be a PPG player for the forseeable future though. e: Interesting, and anecdotal, but Ovechkin's, Crosby's, and Jagr's peak shots / game years came at 23 (Seguin's age). Stamkos' was 21, as was Gretzky's. Bossy's was 24. Lemieux's was 22 (though he was real close at 30... gently caress he was good). Brett Hull was the old man still slamming shots at 27. Volume shooting is a young man's game. Jordan7hm fucked around with this message at 21:26 on Dec 23, 2014 |
