Are you sure man? Our puck passing out of the D zone, along with rush chances, haven't been very good
I see plenty of rush chances, even guys like Derek Ryan are getting odd man rushes. Lots of blown odd man rushes unfortuantely.
Cody Ceci and Desharnais couldn't pass out of the zone for shit anyway, who is it you think was making fancy top 4 passes last year because it wasn't those two.
Kulak + Nurse has actually been a huge upgrade pairing over Nurse + Ceci. The 8 games prior to getting hurt in Toronto were probably the best Nurse has played in like 2 years.
Lets invent goals for Skinner that he hasn't scored and then say "that isn't the worst stat in the world"
J Skinner has been awful here. This just in. No wait, he has been since he showed up in preseason. If he wasn't an established NHLer he wouldn't have even made the team on his preseason *effort*
"Oh, its not regular season yet" I was told. It'll be December soon and still waiting for a Skinner showing. While playing on a new team, and you know, figuring the new guy should be trying to impress. He's impressed all the way to the 4th line multiple times this season.
Alright, lets just ride the same stupid shit into the ground then.
1 goal total for RNH + Hyman on the PP on like what? 50 Tries? With McDavid? It's almost as if (Gasp!) teams know RNH isn't going to shoot shit, so you can collapse on Hyman which then renders him obsolete.
But hey, Knob will get a free cookie for "not compromising the system". Right on his way to the unemployment line next to Woodcroft and probably back onto an AHL bus staying at those glamorous Motel 6s.
