one thing about The System - it depends on depth, and does it well.
of the 32 teams in the league, as of right now
17 teams have <10 players with 20 or more points
7 teams with 10 such players
4 teams with 11 (Dallas, Edmonton, Florida, Seattle)
3 teams with 12 (LA, Vegas, Washington)
and the hurricanes, with 14. the only guys under 20 that have skated regularly are chatfield and walker. (carrier and drury both had 9 points in 39 games - no one else has skated more than 17)
so, our d-first, offense stifling System has 6 less goals total than a Necas approved wide open offensive system like the Avs. the canes have played two less games. should have done this yesterday, they were 1 goal up before last night's 5-spot. (Edit post sabers game - hey, we put up a 5 spot too! who woulda thought? Back to 1 less goal with a game in hand) heck, even with decent depth scoring and mcdrai the oilers have scored two more goals than carolina, both with 58 games done. big 4 loving toronto has 2 less goals in that same 58.
i'm not judging anyone's perceptions of the canes on this board, especially after some seriously crap play. i'm just throwing numbers out there for funsies. and trying to remind myself that prior to this run of shit through flu, break, and lackluster restart they had a 6 game point streak and points in 9 of 10 games.
edit for clarity - i only counted points someone scored while on a given team. necas had over 20 as a cane. rantanen and hall have not, but both have over 20 on the year so if you want to drop necas and count them the canes have 15 20+ point scorers. but i'm not going that deep on other teams. y'all get the point.
