But goals are scored at a higher rate when less then 5v5 are on the ice.
Hope this helps.

Only game you can legitimately be angry at it within the last week is the Islanders one, the last two were insanely winnable with the efforts they gave. They were a couple of games within the W13 that they got lucky to win. Also the Stars are literally a top 5 team in the NHL, take a step away from the ledge folks.

So Power Plays don't exist then? Asking for a friend.

The scoring has also dried up. We generated very little tonight. Dallas pretty well controlled us. Maybe we were tired after last night (but they were on a back to back too)? Maybe we played their game a little instead of our own? Maybe we are squeezing the sticks a little? Maybe we fans aren’t the only ones to be losing some confidence?

I actually didn't hear it, I just saw his face on my TV
I bet it was Ryan Novozinsky though
On one hand I appreciate them calling him out, but on the other hand it's almost like getting mad at your grandma for not being able to hear what you're saying because her hearing is shot or forgetting simple things, due to being old and the mind going.
I'm glad NHL center ice shows post games (and pre games) this year. That's something new for this year.

Bahl and Schmid need to be in the lineup going forward. Smith and Blackwood can get lost.

This very thought crossed my mind in the last 4 pages of this thread.People called me a pessimist for not buying in to this team before they had even proven they could win.
What do you call people who believe the team is on the cusp of a death spiral because they haven’t played well for a couple of weeks after winning like 20 of 22 games?

No but they do result in the opposing team scoring goals that affect the end-result which is what we should be concerned with instead of more Analytics.

So previous seasons are sustainable. This season is unsustainable. Got it.

The wildest takes I’m seeing are about the offense. This team has scored less than 3 goals only one other time in the last ~20 games, and it was the game against Toronto when they did actually score 3+ but the stripes took them away!
One game where they couldn’t generate much and looked gassed from a back to back and stupid coaching decisions isn’t quite enough to justify freaking out about our offense.

That's usually how that works.....? Why would the one year where his stats are better overdo his years of being bad? People said this shit about Zacha every f***ing year, lmao.

Well, missing the playoffs is different and I probably won't be able to trust this team ever again. I don't think it'll come to that because...it really will suck. Not just for us but probably for the players too.

Of course they do. But power play results vary so significantly. Much more important to carry play at 5 on 5 which this team has done consistently this year save a handful of games.

Just a reminder that if the Devils go .500 point% for the rest of the way from tonight they would finish with 96 points.

I like the idea of adding Henrique
And he's a player that I did not want to re-sign and am glad we didn't re-sign him.
And I wouldn't take him at full price, as I wouldn't wanna spend close to $6 million on him next year and whatever the rest of this year
But he's a clear upgrade to Haula and if they would really retain half of his salary then I would totally be down, as half of his salary is just a little more than all of Haula's salary.

The 5 on 5 offense isn't really that concerning to me outside only rolling 3 lines every night lately.
It's the defense that's really concerning, and the PP shitting the bed is compounding things.
