News & Notes XLIV: Revenge of the Seth

[hblueridgegal]

Has to help that Svech got demoted the game before as well, so its not like he's being singled out.

And Necas and Robinson are just collateral damage?



Not a bad list

I didn’t have Martinook gunning for Selke & Necas gunning for the Art Ross on my Canes 24-25 bingo card.

A good Q & A

He should have been sent an HF invite to join us

Svetch work ethic:

This isn't the first time he's done that. He knows he has greatness in him he just has to find a way to let it out.

This isn't the first time he's done that. He knows he has greatness in him he just has to find a way to let it out.

He's gotta break through eventually with the SH% being as low as it is. Here's where he ranks in some things.

On the plus side:
Skating speed: 82nd percentile
Speed bursts over 20: 88th percentile
Top Shot Speed: 68th percentile
Shots on Goal: 97th percentile
Shooting %: Below 50th percentile (doesn't list the number)
Offensive Zone Time: 97th percentile
46 of his 75 shots are from high danger (30) or mid range (16) locations.
5v5 CF: 17th best Forward in the entire NHL
5v5 xGF: 10th best Forward in the entire NHL
5v5 HDCF: 17th best Forward in the entire NHL

On the minus side:
His individual SH% and his on-ice SH% are poor.
His hits/60 are down from prior years.
His GVA/60 are up considerably.
His TKA/60 are down considerably.

Svech and KK are two guys I'd like to see get some help in developing a scoring touch.

This isn't the first time he's done that. He knows he has greatness in him he just has to find a way to let it out.

His bursts last night (particularly driving to the net) were good to see since he hadn’t done that in a while.

I thought both he and Aho were highly engaged last night. Aho played the best he had all year, driving play during his shifts (Jarvy back makes a difference for Aho).

Whatever frustrations we may hold with him you’ve got to appreciate and respect Svech’s work ethic and attitude.

I looked at our Goaltending situation and the list of teams against this week and said that's a gotcha part of the schedule. Winning the first 2 in comeback fashion is amazing and showcases the depth/skill of our 18 despite GT challenges.

Much of the League's fanbase still views the Canes as a boring dump and chase team (ie Mollie, the Ranger writer last night said Canes are just like they always are, a N-S dump and chase team) but that's just not the case this year (Staal's line of course is the exception).

The team's goalscoring sure is fun to watch.
