After 14 playoff games, MTL has a net PK% of 102.4%

[Elnino]

Was just browsing through NHL.com and observed this absolutely ridiculous stat:
NHL Stats

This essentially implies that their PK generates more goals than the PP of opposing teams. Has this ever happened before?

It's an absolutely nutty Stat tbh,

40 time short handed, 3 goals allowed 4 scored.

 

[Seb]

Feels like the first ten games of the season

 

[A Loyal Dog]

Do you know when was the last time this ever happened?

You guessed it… 1993

Spoiler

just kidding

In all seriousness, anyone have a running list of all the 1993 similarities? Getting pretty insane.

 

[jetsforever]

That's wild

 

[habsnacks]

Another insane stat in this run.

 

[Galaxydoggystyle]

Holy shit what a stat!

''We'd like to decline this penalty but we'll still take the offensive zone faceoff ''

 

[sansabri]

destiny teams tend to do that

True. They probably just won the cup and we cracked the code here first.

Hockey players slack off on the PP. It's ingrained in them at a very young age and reinforced all the way up to the NHL.

Smart PK'ers take advantage of that laziness combined with the nature of the PP setup - static and 150 feet from their own net. Ripe for scoring on transition.

And that's why folks, hockey teams commonly score more goals on the PK than on the PP.

You have a PP.

We have a Lord Byron.

And that's why folks, some people show smarts.

And many commonly don't.

"Mr Referee, can't you give the penalty to us instead?"

Oh damn! I didn't even realise it though game 3 ending in OT 3-2 for the Habs is eerily similar too (for those unaware, it was shown that in 1993 game 1 was a opposition win 4-1, then game 2 was a 3-2 Habs win, and in game 3 it was a 4-3 Habs OT win). What other similarities have there been?

Montreal would have had a legit shot at the cup any other year, but this one they will almost inevitably face a team that's 18M over the cap, and that's just too big a hurdle.

This is our Cup series, against a Western team for a trophy the team has never won.

Playing Tampa is going into the SuperLeague where I think Erik Karlsson still hangs out, it's a different dimension. The 6th, or something.

People who keep accusing Bettman of conspiracy theories to favor Vegas are only partially right.

There is a conspiracy and Bettman is having refs purposefully give Vegas more powerplay time - but that's all because he has a secret arrangement with Molson to help Habs win on the pk

You have a PP.

We have a Lord Byron.

What do you do with that PP?

 

[Sam of Montreal]

You have a PP.

We have a Lord Byron.

And one-man-Armia.

 

[Classicnamesup]

But giving Vegas PPs is the league's go to...
