Have to go with DiPietro, Johnson at least has had a decent career, and Yak still has time top prove himself.

I would go with Yakupov as the clear leader right now with the caveat you mentioned above.

DiPietro was very good when he was good. Concussions did him in.

Regression to the mean regarding his career shooting percentage?

Yea, I wouldn't expect him to always take this many shots when we have another couple big time talents in the lineup

He'll also (in theory) face easier competition if/when we add those talents.

- kingcong39


nope, he isn't gong anywhere. Roy is an average coach and he stays until he decided to step down.

Big issue is the depth again. Tanguay, Iginla, Martinsen, Mitchell, Wagner are all 4th liners, too many guys having to go into 3rd line Details.

Makes it an easy 2 line team to play against, and Roy starts spreading his talent through the 4 lines. Its better when he loads up the Top 6 when they third line is actually playing respectable hockey

Listen, I love how he's playing, but his last 3 goals have been an empty netter that hit a ref, wrist shot from the point that got a goalie pulled, and a Markov turnover where he was alone in front for a tap in.

Just saying he's got a little lucky lately

Yep which is fine since there was a stretch where he was a bit unlucky.

There was also that missed penalty shot, about half a dozen goal posts and 2 goals called back on challenges. It's good to see things evening out for him the past 2 weeks.

game over, going to do something else with my day since this is what the Avs get for not being ready for a game.

That goes on Roy too for playing Varly almost 24 hours after a back to back game

Yea I'm not complaining, his last 3 have just been all really bad goals

A goal is a goal. Weather it's a tip in a blast from the point or a skate in deke. It's the same on the score board. I also believe the goal Kane scored today was just a perfect shot. Not a bad goal at all.

We must have learned how to score goals first hand from getting blown out by Florida and Philly.
