panthers scored a pp goal with 6 minutes left yesterday, tied the game up and then of course got a point


that goal mattered


it's real simple, special teams determine the outcome of many games in every season

I surrender. This is like the 50th anecdotal example you have posted.

It's one thing to have a good powerplay, but timely? So if they score early on it's no good but if it comes in the final minute after 7 missed opportunities it's golden?

The best PP in the league sits at 23.3%, we're at 19.6. Even if we were tops and those extra few percent were timely goals that gave us points we'd still be an awful team and well out of a playoff spot.

Special teams matter but nowhere near the level that 5v5 does.

a timely pp goal here, timely pk there, better shootout play

it's easy to find points the team left on the table

can you find 12 points?
I can

Better version of Girgensons. Has an eye for the net. If we could get him I'd trade Girgensons for a defenceman

Im not saying they're irrelevant, Im saying 5v5 is significantly more important. Timely PP/PK wouldn't be important if this team was solid 5v5

I think they are equal, a lot of the reason this team has made strides is their special teams


this team is almost just as bad 5 on 5 as last season in scoring, yet with fringe top 10 special teams, we are respectable instead of a joke
