Who on your team can not buy a goal?

[MardyBum]

Byfuglien, and for other teams Burns and Karlsson, are pretty clearly three of the biggest.

 

[boredmale]

Jason Chimera.

Guy isn't very fast anymore

Chimera is still pretty fast but it is sort of disappointing his goal totals. Not that I expected him to get 20 goals again but one would hope he could get like 10-15ish before the season(which is still not out of the question given a good streak of a few games he can be up to like 5 goals)

Maybe Chimera's 20 last season was a testament to how good Ladd(his linemate for the bulk of the season last year) is opening up ice for other players. While Ladd is not racking up points this year both Eberle and Barzal seem to benefit from him going to the net reeking havoc.

 

[Chrisinroch]

Koivu is totally snakebit. Prime, between the dots, scoring chances, PP time....he just cannot buy a goal. Now he’s frequently missing the net trying to pick a spot. At least he’s still shooting rather than passing grade A chances up.

 

[WTFMAN99]

Marner/Nylander equally snake bitten despite playing great.

 

[Theo Von]

Cam Atkinson. 3 points since signing his contract extension on November 17th. 95 percent going to be a healthy scratch tonight against AZ.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Brendan Gaunce has played 90 NHL games. Pretty sure a puck went in off his ass in his first week. Hasn't scored since

 

[HabsQC]

One name came up in my mind : Max Pacioretty.

On pace for 21 goals. Might be a little more than a few guys in this thread, but far from his usual 35 goals season.

 

[pomx]

Stone hands Gaunce. 80~ games 0 goals.

 

[Alwalys]

Whats with all the gaunce cites. Dude has like one shot per game. He is horrible on offense.

He gets his good looks from somewhere, tho.

Oh, to be statistically advantaged

 

[Siddi]

Rick Nash

 

[Leonardo87]

Is there an award for this? Ryan Callahan should get it, 5 SOG so far tonight, and a quick whistle denies him a rebound he scored. Friggin Refs.

 

[TheMule93]

Dylan Larkin and Anthony Mantha. Their entire line dominates every night but they are completely snake bitten. They generate so many chances though, which is a good sign. Would like to see them bury some of them at some point.

Honestly I'm just happy Larkin looks like an actual center. Good 200ft game already too... His development since last year completely caught me off guard and I am pleasantly surprised

Was just coming to post this. I'm really starting to feel for the guy.

 

[Rafafouille]

Definitely Byfuglien.

Goals scored: 0
Goaltenders injured by his shot: 1. I mean Jesus, Montoya disappeared from the face of the earth. Not a single update of the guy since he was out in early November. For all we know, Buff ended the guys career.

 

[OurlordAndSaviorKuch]

Ryan Callahan

RDT beat me to it

 

[SniperHF]

Everybody.

 

[Josepho]

Gaunce has great possession metrics and constantly gets difficult zone usage. Not to mention he's never had any time with any actual offensively skilled players and last year he was averaging very little ice time.

He does everything right but score. Somebody on our board said something along the lines of how it's easy to tell someone's understanding of hockey by what they think of Gaunce and I think that's absolutely spot on.

And then the hockey gods injured him as a revenge for coming so close to scoring a goal.

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

The entire oilers team against any backup goalie in the league

 

[Kyndig]

Sabres...Everyone on D. 1 goal from the entire D to date.

As for forwards Eichel stands out with his below average shooting %. Seems to be missing by a smidgeon this year. Hit the post tonight, game before last he hit the top of the goalies stick, and the game before that didn't quite trickle under the pads. It's a bit shocking to me that he has 0 PPGs this season.

 

[hangman005]

Leipsic with more missed chances tonight, he shouldn't buy a lottery ticket, he has no luck.

Zetterberg these days only seems to score on lucky bounces and had a 22 (?) game goal drought

 

[Lacaar]

Oilers price for a goal against Vezina caliber goalies is 1 dollar.

Against no name backups. 10 million.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

90% of our roster during 5 on 5 time
