GDT: Game 67: Utah Middle-Aged Seals @ Vancouver Deranged Oreo Dolphins | 3/16/25 6:00 p.m. MDT | Utah16, Arizona61

I can only imagine we would be comfortably in a playoff spot right now if we weren't so dedicated with injuries on the back end early on this season
The team you just beat have missed their best player for 1/4 of the season and starting goalie for 3/4 of the season. Every team gets injuries most years. It's a long tough season, good to be in the hunt.

True, but the goalie the Canucks had in net tonight is having a better year statistically wise than Demko.

Wonder if Demko being hurt fir basically 2 years has anything to do with that??? Who do you think Vancouver would rather have healthy and playing?
 
I agree, the team D was really good without mistakes, if that continues, our playoff hopes get much better.
If one looks at the league standings, it is the teams with lowest in goals allowed at the top and teams with most goals allowed at the bottom. Gotta have decent scoring and very good D to get it done.
 
I believe the Oilers scored 86 goals and the Panthers 73. Last night games was like watching the old Devils. Not a play off contender. We will get there but last night was not the identity of this team or a play off team. I believe the average was 5 goals per game.

Mistakes are too subjective but would be an interesting stat. Much like when they say high risk play, risk is subjective and everyone has a different risk level lol remember when seat belt laws came into effect

Very subjective, it depends on where you make them and what the cost is for the mistake. Sergi makes more of them then Marino does but Marino isn't thinking about scoring as much either and doesn't contribute like Sergi does in that area.

Exactly, so who would you rather have on your team, the defensive minded Marino or the offensive minded Sergi? Pick one.

I didn't say there wasn't. But it is a very good indicator what the coaches think of such player.
TOI is a good indicator of which players are better then the other players the coach has to choose from. The emergence of Cooley/Gunts has affected the TOI and situational use of Crouse/Maccelli. You can't compare the TOI of Sergi with a player from another team.
