Post-Game Talk: Devils 6, Penguins 3 - Penguins Hate On @ScandaleduJour on His Birthday

[EightyOne]

We’re not having trouble scoring. It’s stoppin the other team scoring. In January we are at goals for average 3.9 which is great but 3.7 goals against average which is awful.

Is there a way to look up how many goals are scored in wins vs how many goals are scored in losses?

I FEEL the Pens tend to win 5-2 then lose 4-3 then win 6-3 then lose 5-3.

Like...the losses are by a closer margin than the wins. So the averages look good, but the goals come only in bunches rather than consistently and rarely help.

There’s manually. I can probably do it later. I’m off work right now supposed to be relaxing. Working out stats relaxes me

If your worst goal output is usually 3, you’re fine offensively.

If your worst goal output is usually 3, you’re fine offensively.

Right but winning 5-1 and then losing 3-1 gives you a GFavg of 3 and a GAavg of 2.

Winning 2-1 and then winning 4-3 gives the same, but in one scenario your offense is undefeated and the other is .500

The Pens lack of consistency seems to point to the first scenario when in all reality the second team would actually be the better and undefeated team.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Actually, the Pens have the coin and the assets for a 3C and a L2 LW. I've been talking up Tierney and Dzingel as one stop shopping, but truth be told, if JR stands pat on defense, he can go bigger than that.

So, it is even better than I thought.

Kessel is DEFINITELY not on the trade list in that case (well, should not be)

Kessel is DEFINITELY not on the trade list in that guess (well, should not be)

Well, yeah, he's not being traded.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Well, yeah, he's not being traded.

The impact to Pittsburgh's hot dog industry would be too big.

 

[ZeroPucksGiven]

The NHL can do what it wants. If you think the average secondary assist is as valuable than the average primary assist, you're willfully ignorant.

So by your metric Ovi is better than Sid
That is your stance?

That's main board nonsense, let's not get into that here

 

[ZeroPucksGiven]

Just trying to find a way to get the stupid "secondary assist" phrase banned from the Pittsburgh Penguins subboard

 

[Vyruz Reaper]

I no longer feel like we can win on any given night with having Sid and Malkin on our team. Though, each can still take over - the rest of the team is such a shitshow not even our two big guys can carry the heavy anchors on this team

 

[ChaosAgent]

So by your metric Ovi is better than Sid
That is your stance?

If you were to abide by the little statistic you created, they'd be roughly equal at career points per game. Sid is also better at the non-points elements of hockey. Therefore, Sid is better.

Nice try?

The Pens are nothing like the Steelers other than they play in Pittsburgh. They have an owner who is giving all the resources to win. They have a culture of accountability. They have success and met expectations of a HOF duo.

I absolutely despise the attempts of people saying the Pens are like the Steelers and/or Sully is like Tomlin. No way.

Never said they were.

I said they were simply playing down to the comp as the Steelers generally do. The Pens have been getting owned by the weakest teams in the league all year long. Hence the comparison. That's where it stops though.

I completely agree with everything you said btw.

 

[ncm7772]

I just tire of the excuses. It’s ok to just admit that the team isn’t very good right now, no need to make excuses.

Agreed. But I don't think many here are making excuses.

 

[ncm7772]

so we should be fine once we get there.

Pfft, dude I wouldn't hold my breath!

 

[Anita L]

so we all see a pattern here... blown out by the devils- beat the best lightning- then lose to the senators. not to be negative but history speaks for its self and I agree we wont have to worry about facing those pesky cellar dwellers come playoff time
