They had 69 points two years ago, gonna happen again

Not saying it's not possible and all good if it does get us into the jack hughes sweepstakes.

Your numbers on Sedins aren't wrong they had good possession figures at around 50% the problem was the other 50% of the time they were digging the puck out of the back of our net lol.

I'm just hoping that our 5/5 play improves post-Sedins and I think it can if healthy.

It could translate to 5-6 more regulation wins...hoping.lol

New blog is now live, with a quick update on today's roster cuts and a bit of speculating about what happens from here:

And they did. Plus the best relatives by a mile for forwards

Corsi is a flawed stat, there's just way better data out there these days. There's stats measuring zone entries with possession for/against, shot quality, passing quality etc.


Looking at those stats as a whole shows that the Sedins play declined by a decent margin over the past 2 years. They really should have been used as PP specialists and limited at 5v5. But I don't blame Green for increasing their minutes since the rest of his roster was full of poop anyway, especially when Horvat got hurt and then Boeser went down.

Hopefully he is claimed so I never have to hear about him again. But he won’t be.

MTL and TO love our scraps...let him go score off his ass in the east.

100%. He is pretty decent AHL player so he would help the comets. If he wants to have an NHL future he has to get quicker. Guy is a stone handed slug that also refuses to drop the mitts

Yeah, I feel like if he just used his big body more on the forecheck instead of being passive, he'd probably win a 4th line job here, even with his stone hands.

Yup. He hits but it’s like he is going through the motions and there are never any malicious intent

Good thing more bottom 6 players were brought in to prevent the roster being full of crap.

That’s a mindset. If a guy doesn’t have it he doesn’t hav it.

Utica is going to be more fun to watch than the Canucks most nights.

Dahlen- Gaunce- Jasek
Lind- Gaudette- Boucher

With palmu, gajovich, motte, Kero and archibald. That’s an actually stacked AHL forward unit.

were you opposed to the Vancouver Millionaires jersey? Essentially the same thing as what you claim above(re: jets). I remember watching the whalers, so the throwback is awesome. Atlanta was a failed expansion franchise, I really don't think they deserve any sort of throwback. Its 2 or 3 games man, I don't think its that big of a deal lol

Same city vs ex-cities. Throwbacks to all failed cities are undeserving not just Atlanta.

I'm saying, even if you factor in some bad luck, that still looks terrible for the Sedins. I've defended them for years, but they were terrible at 5v5 last year.


And lol at using corsi without context, you better have the best corsi numbers on the team when you're soaking up all of the o-zone starts,

- Nucker101



And lol at using plus minus without context, you better have the worst plus minus numbers on the team when you're..... wait they did.
Still, dude don't use plus minus without context
