I don't know anyone that says special teams are as important as 5 on 5. That's ridiculous, but they're an integral part of the game.
- Wetbandit1

This is brutal.

Not one time did I say they were meaningless.

5 on 5 just trumps them, by a lot.

I'd be surprised if the pick is traded. Top 10 picks rarely are. Not saying I wouldn't consider it, because I would, it would just surprise me if something fit
- sbroads24



Because teams that draft top 10 are rarely in a position to do so. Combine that with the fact this draft is winger heavy and the fact that we're hosting it...

How am I being anal? It's more denial on your part.

Even strength goals

Minnesota 1
Sabres 0

PP goals

Minnesota 1
Sabres 2

Considering Minny won, what mattered more?

Did I say you did? Try and read a bit better.

Top 3 teams on the PP

Caps
Hawks
Ducks


PK

Ducks
Isles
Blues

All those teams are currently in the playoffs. hmm...

Obviously, if you're getting outscored at even strength it's going to be tough to win, but special teams are an integral part to being a good team.

Bottom 3 PP from 30-28

Leafs
Flames
Jets


PK

Flames
Sens
Wild

Only one team(Wild, and they almost lost because of their PK today) likely to make the playoffs.

Chicken and egg scenario.

The teams that score a lot 5 on 5, also usually have good PP's.

If you look at what really separates good and bad teams, it's what they do at even strength. The difference between say the 5th best PP and the 20th, is miniscule compared to the 5th best even strength team and the 20th.

This is a good post. A little long, but fact filled.
You could have netted it out, by saying that Special,Teams are an integral part of then game.

So should we not be ahead of a bunch of teams to truly reflect the standings? Or does our record mean nothing?

Holy hell.

Score at even strength, be a good team. It's that simple. It really is. Look at the chart, I believe of the 1st 16 teams listed in order, 14 or 15 are in the playoffs.
