Okay so they’re slightly above average…but they’re not taking you anywheres in the playoffs. It's November. They're 14 and 4 and on a 10-game win streak. Winning 80% of their games and right there in a battle for 1st that probably comes down to the wire between 2 teams winning 80%+ of their available points. But not going anywhere....i'm just not sure why. |

Because it's 1 line getting 90% of the shots. But because they're so elite and efficient, they win the game for you. There is no way to defend them. They can create on their own, but if you turn the puck over, forget it. That makes no sense. On October 27th, the Cataford\Vidicek\Dumais had 7 shots on goal between them. The rest of the Moose had 8 SOG. On November 17th, that line had 8 of 21 total shots, one of which was in OT. I'm not saying that's a bad thing....that line doesn't need a lot of chances to score. They proved that by winning 6-2 with only 15 SOG. What I am saying is that the number of shots would be a concern if I was a coach. I was speaking anecdotally. I didn't know the assignment was a forensic examination of game stat sheets. My bad. If 1 line is responsible for a large majority of your goals, it's reasonable to expect they would generate most of your shots. And if only 1 line is getting the majority of shots, you're probably only going to get 15-20 shots/game. |
