So do all scorers. They're all pretty much quite streaky.

This is how I feel about that. Everyone talks about how our possession numbers are so good, but many times we just have possession along the boards with our continual cycling. I know it's better to have the puck than to be chasing it, but possession alone doesn't win you games.
Being in a favorable position to receive the puck and have a scoring opportunity is what you want ideally, but it's hard to do that when you have to get into position to receive the puck in the corner for the endless cycle.
By "possession numbers" you mean Corsi? You don't get any Corsis for cycling - only for taking a shot (whether it misses, hits, is blocked or scores).
No I didn't mean Corsi. Sometimes we say how much we dominated possession during a portion of a game, when we didn't really get a scoring chance.

Gah
Doesn't mean we didn't dominate possession though.
And I think that is the lack of talent we currently have showing.
Southern teams always seem to get those timely calls they really do. And not just against us either.

Last night during the 2nd intermission, TSN put up a graphic and down at the bottom is said the Jets are 1-43-7 when trailing after 2 periods over the last two seasons. 1-44-7 now, I guess. That's pretty crazy...
