Weren't they 1st at one point for suppressing the dangerous/high scoring shots against?

Not sure... but right now they are 7th best in that stat so it's certainly possible.

The biggest problem with this team right now is generating shots and offense...which doesn't make sense because the defensemen are jumping up into the play and creating scoring chances more than they ever have before. You'd think with the defensemen taking more risks by jumping up into the play they would near the bottom of the league in shots against and high danger scoring chances against but that's not the case....they are near the top.

Suppressing shots and scoring chances against hasn't been the problem this year. Not saying you said it was, I just went off on a tangent haha.

Yeah, it's the same old song and dance for us fans. "Passeritis" or "toocuteitis". I don't understand the bipolar nature of this team anymore.

This Wings are just a competent PP away from being arguably the best team in the division.

The best team in this division changes every damn week. At the moment it's incredibly the Panthers.

If I did the math right, Larkin now finished a half a season leading the entire league in +/-

Curious when the last time was, if ever, a rookie ended the season leading all NHLers in +/-. Or what the highest +/- for a rookie was. This is no longer the days of dominant 5-on-5 play or dynasties, so it probably doesn't come close, but could be the best in the past few decades.

Looks like Wheeler was +36 as a rookie but Boston had 8 guys that were +20 or better that year.

Larkin +24....Next highest teammate: +8.

steve larmer was +44 on his rookie season, highest for forward i think, though not very close to leading the league that season. al sims was +64 on his rookie season. though his D partner was + 84, certain bobby orr. ray bourque was + 52, 3rd in the league on his rookie season, league leader was +60.

palat came pretty close to leading the league in +/- two seasons ago. finished +32, krejci was best with +39.
