So I'm confused, since when are goalies supposed to make big saves?

Crazy what a little .910 goaltending can do for a good ass team

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Mikko up to 41 points eh, crazy.

But, but, but...

 

[Sea Eagles]

Come on officials, there's TWO teams playing here you dickheads.

EDIT: Sorry for that outburst guys

 

[RoyIsALegend]

He doesn’t give up which is refreshing

Battles, battles, battles… love to see that shit.

I was so tired of Georgiev laying down and giving up after the first save or anything in the crease.

 

[a mangy Meowth]

Am I reading right that we have like almost $4m of cap space?

What's the plan there? Another forward?

 

[missionAvs]

I want to know what the f*** the Habs were thinking trading us Lehky for whatever crap we sent them.

 

[the_fan]

Fightttt

 

[missionAvs]

Lol I haven't see a game with Sid this animated in a while.

Middleton really sucks.

 

[wayninja]

Hope Govani kicks the shit outta crosby!

As a mod here, I cannot stand for that kind of behavior.

There, you got a very stern talking to

 

[The Merchant]

Nice little 4-point audition from MacK to convince his buddy to come to Colorado

 

[McMetal]

You know what the worst part of watching Givani Smith suck ass tonight is? He's wearing #55, which means that the door is closed for raising McLeod's name to the rafters at Ball...

The talking heads were saying CMac is looking for a D-man well ahead of the deadline

 

[hockeyfish]

Sid right now.

 

[EdAVSfan]

They were a bad team that used him exclusively on a 3rd line.

 

[TheGrimReaper]

with wood and without wood

 

[AegonLeConqueror]

Givani Smith sucks, but it's nice to have a guy who pushes back when other teams try to punk us

 

[missionAvs]

Come on officials, there's TWO teams playing here you dickheads.

[drhiii]

Givani channeling his inner Dermy.. tho he doesn't need to.

 

[a mangy Meowth]

What type? Is Manson dead?

 

[SnowStorm]

Hope Govani kicks the shit outta crosby!

Yeah get on Nate’s bad side and get sent down faster, I like the way you think!

 

[Sea Eagles]

GOD I love this team of ours. I want to be buried in my 26 Stastny jersey when I die.

 

[S E P H]

Maliniski is going to need an ice bath after this one lol.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Wow, what a save that was. LOL

 

[sethro109]

Its not a concern, no.... Because the same size is tiny. Pick literally any team in the league and I can 100% guarantee you they will have extremely similar highs and lows with their own PP as well.

Actually, most teams will have worse lows because again, the Avs actually have one of the best PPs in the league especially over a sample size that isn't essentially meaningless.


Case in point the Winnipeg Jets from November 10 to December 10:

Compared to the Winnipeg Jets in the month of October:

Same thing with the Oilers... Look how they started the year:

And now look at them:

Obviously the PP being better would be a good thing, but getting all out of sorts over a sample size of less then 20% of a regular seasons worth of anything, is just pure nonsense.

The funniest thing about this is the PP isn't even that far off of league average in that 14 game sample size. If they literally scored just 2 more PP goals in the last 14 games, they'd be 18th in the league instead of 29th. That's how dumb the tiny PP sample size is.

I appreciate the post with numbers and statistics, but I still disagree with you on this one. I don't think going 20% of the season with the PP looking like it has been, is good enough for a team with MacK, Mikko and Makar as the primary players on the PP. And nothing will ever convince me that Bennett is a good PP coach. Our system is stale, especially with zone entries.
