GDT: Okay, so we won a game. Big whoop

[Blueline Bomber]

We still can't score 5-on-5, and much of our top players have completely disappeared for the past few games. Jarvis just got his 4th goal, putting him in a tie for 4th on the team with Martinook and Staal. Not ideal.

Now we're facing the Penguins, and Sidney Crosby, who apparently doesn't age. I'm starting to think "The Kid" is less of a nickname and instead some of kind of "Witch in the forest" curse.

Game is at 7:00.

Is it a problem that I like both teams playing tonight? CAR shooting % will rebound at 5v5 as they are 20 goals below expected on the year. Just need to start finding the roof and PIT's goalies have been pretty terrible to date.

Shoot it above the logo on the opposing goalie’s jersey? Surely ye jest

Well, we score the 10th least Goals/60 at 5v5 in the NHL, but on the flip side, we give up the 7th least Goals/60 at 5v5 so we're 12th in the NHL for GF% 5v5.

Conclusion: We play boring hockey.

...reading this thread is getting me a little verklempt....talk amongst yourselves...I'll give you a topic...the radical reconstruction of the south after the civil war was neither radical nor a reconstruction....Ok, there, now I feel better.

Don't look at the xgf scatter chart for the league. But if you do, just know that it's only going to get better..... Or something

 

[The Faulker 27]

Wait so the Pens goalies have been bad leading up to this game?

Oh for f***s sake.

We have one 5-on-5 goal in our last 3 games.

Conclusion: That's not good.

The last time this team scored more than 3 goals in a game was 11/10, and it took us playing the Oilers to make that happen.

It's either the PP or 5v5 going dry, every night.

I never said, nor indicated that 10th best in the NHL was good but a 3 game sample size isn't noteworthy to me.

The prior 3 games to that they had zero PP goals.

Nobody is denying that their goal scoring is a problem.

Yep. But in those 9 games from the Oilers through the Flames, they miraculously got 10/18 points.

Ol' Tom ain't gonna like this real much.

Them boys best get'ta skorin.

Hardly a miracle when you're being carried by Jordan Martinook.

Amazing that the team is still getting some nookie this year.

Between top line Nookie and hot young Koochie, our inability to score is all the more baffling

This wasn't a problem when we had Ian Cole.
