I think stuff like Corsi has only been tracked since like 2011/2012. Maybe a little earlier but it really only became heavily followed after the Kings bulldozed their way to the Cup as an #8 seed, IIRC.Can anyone share how these numbers compare to some teams historically?
If last year felt like 2009 then this one is reminding me a lot of 2006
*2006
I'm not sure any player in NHL history has ever done less with more skill than Mat Barzal.
No one knows, that kind of call seems unprecedented... as in I've quite literally never seen a team at any level be penalized for something like that.I watched box score at work and just checked the highlights now that I’m home.
What was up with the random delay of game penalty at the end of the first? Just Tim Peele being Tim Peele?
And holy moly that Svech empty netter. A guy that big shouldn’t be able to accelerate that quickly.
Initially the understanding was that the DoG came from Aho skating to the bench apparently when he shouldn't have, but Tripp (?) said (?) after the period break that it would've been about a called icing that Rod called Peel out for.I watched box score at work and just checked the highlights now that I’m home.

unless he’s the most skilled player who has ever lived, this is the dumbest thing you’ve ever said.
I'm always down for more stupid celebrations, the more personality in the game the betterMissed most of the game due to some family matters...but WOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Also, i did see that cocky / gun goal celebration. I don't get why a team with so little recent success is so arrogant, but whatever lol.
We have three elite first pairing guys in Slavin, Pesce and Hamilton.
Honestly, I confused myself a bit with my post. I just think that the league "figured out" Barzal a little bit last season and it looks like a little more this season. Let him stickhandle around the perimeter all he wants, just stay between him and the net and you're fine. It also seems to help that Trotz is using him poorly. He's a good player, but it just didn't seem to me that he was close to *scoring* or anything tonight.

You mean like have one after every home game?
