I'll be honest with you, I love his music. I do. I'm a Michael Bolton fan.

I had no idea you were a ~60 year old ex soccer mom, Ogre.

That should be used when Iced Capp lists the icetime stats, and Engo,Orpik,and Adams are high atop the list.

I hate Corsi Numbers.

It's just a way of demonstrating that Glass and his linemates were hemmed in their own zone all game. Everybody already knew that, but statistical proof is always welcome, imo.

A zero CF is...it's just terrible. There should at least be one shot attempt even if its just a dump on a linechange that happens to go near-ish the net. This comes dangerously close to indicating the Gladams line never entered the offensive zone, which is both possible and frightening.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Yes... but they are stalwart defenders of their own zone! Titans of sound positional play and responsible puck management! Kings of shutdown! Deal-sealers!

They are far too busy with the monumental task of stepping in front of pucks and losing battles along the boards, my friend. They don't need or want to go into the offensive zone. Much less stoop to the level of actually trying to create a scoring chance. That's for peasants like Sid Crosby and Geno Malkin.

Just noticed that Vitale took 0 faceoffs after going 10 for 11 the game before

That's how you become the winningest coach in franchise history

well that's just stupid.

Sutter: 64%
Crosby: 50%
Malkin: 60%
Jokinen: 100%

Lotta reasons to hate DB. But that's not one of them. He rides whoever is winning draws. Plus the need to roll the top 6 out there constantly with how high scoring it was.

Hmm... I knew I recognized that rhythm

And with that we move on to the new thread.
