A Quick defeat! Habs lose 3-0

[Brainiac]

Problem is this won't convince them.
They like to think we are dominant and got robbed.
We are the easiest team to box out in the league.
Particularly when Brendan isn't around.

It was my feeling as well. Looking at the shot totals and thinking "no way we're dominating that game. Kings got plenty of premium scoring chances."

We dominated that game.

 

[Nynja*]

We dominated that game.

In the perimeter shot category

 

[Rapala]

We dominated that game.

We carried the play but got dominated on the score sheet 0-3.

We dominated that game. If we play like that we're going to win most of the time. Sometimes the puck doesn't go in. We had crazy puck luck to start the year and now we have none. That's the way things go sometimes.

This is a recurring trend though. "we deserved the win, but couldnt score". We cant score because were playing perimeter garbage. We made Martin Jones look like a stud, and then he went to Toronto and looked like a sieve. How did popgun Toronto light up Martin Jones? I'll show you:

Soft
Perimeter
Garbage

The shot count against LA showed the same thing.

Yes there were a chunk of shots that werent perimeter shots, but the entire attacking zone was pretty much blue too.

We were shooting from outside the freaking playing surface!! (ok thats sarcasm, these shot trackers arent perfect afterall lol)

Early in the season when we were scoring 3+ goals a game, how were we doing it? Were we lucky, or were we making our own luck?

You be the judge.
