Speculation: 2024-25 Coaching/Management/Ownership

[TheDarkWingThatDucks]

The last 8 games we are 20th in shots for, 31st in shots against, 30th in shot differential, 28th in SAT%, 29th in USAT%. 2nd in 5v5 shooting %, and 10th in 5v5 SV %. They are 5-2-1.

That’s not sustainable. That’s a hot streak relying on goalie play and an unsustainable shooting %.

We also were unlucky with shooting percentage to start the year which has shown was also unsustainable. Stats are all fine and good, we look like a much better hockey team overall the last 8 games instead of the first 13. Plenty of room for improvement, but we HAVE been improving and perhaps it hasn’t quite shown up with the advanced stats, but something as simple as 5’ passes in the neutral zone that used to lead to a turnover are now leading to speed into opponents zone. Not always, but not never like before.

My hope is this young team continues to make improvements, it’s the key to our longterm success. Also this team was always only going to be as good as their goaltending, and we have at least a top 5 tandem in the league and it’s not close.

What’s the high danger chances the opposition has, is there a stats for sustained zone pressure ?

Thanks sir !
