Stats from Quanthockey re: first 33 games. I carved the analysis into 10, 10 and 13 game blocks.

Easy to see when goaltending was off (first 7 games of the last 13 game block was really bad) + team getting outhit and the opposition does a great job of blocking Canes shots.

Our shot % has been pretty consistent in each of the game blocks and face-offs improved since the first 10 and is good. I'd add, we had a huge shot differential in the first block of 10 but has cratered since then (and is apparent watching the games with sometimes lackadaisical effort seen).

Last thought: haven't compared the stat to previous years but this year unlike in the recent past I never feel comfortable with the team in keeping slight leads. My memory (Ok I'm old and perhaps wrong) suggests that previous teams could lock down the ice when ahead whereas I don't feel that way this year. We seem to be giving up too many Grade A chances in the 3rd.
