Invisible on the scoresheet, but certainly not on the ice. They're both fighting it a little, sure, but they're still creating plenty of chances. They'll kick back into gear once they find the back of the net.

They are generating possession and chances. The problem is that Dave Tippett continues to run his popcorn machine for the lines. Hard to get anything going.

Domi is our best possession forward. He is rocking a 57% corsi. Been creating so many chances.

I tend to agree and think he may be basing his constant mix & match on analytics. Now I'm by no means even close to being an expert, but doesn't the mixing and matching constantly alter the analytics? Kind of the chicken & the egg thing.

Just a thought. :dunno:

Domi looks dangerous all the time. Just hasn't converted. Not worried

How has Domi been invisible to you, Kylo? Are you solely following him via fantasy hockey or something? Strange.

I'm not worried about them. Domi's already getting back to form and Duclair finally showed some snap last night.

Invisible on the scoresheet, but certainly not on the ice. They're both fighting it a little, sure, but they're still creating plenty of chances. They'll kick back into gear once they find the back of the net.

They will be ok. Thankfully they aren't veterans or some posters would be calling for their head.:)

Exactly. Anybody watching the games knows they haven't been anything close to invisible. Hopefully saw the flashes last game have them with Dvorak and gives that line a good 10 game look before he decides to build his anti-scoring, protect the deficit lines.

Hey got duclair in my points only pool. Just wondering how he's playing as I haven't watched even a minute of his play. Got a bit from this thread but an update would be nice! I took a gamble thinkin he would get 50 points. Is he gonna turn it on (points wise) anytime soon?

He is getting his chances and creating for others but he seems snakebitten at the moment. Entire team isn't playing very well. I'd wait until the 20 game mark before dumping him if it comes to that.

I fully expected a sophomore slump for Duclair after last season's astronomical shooting percentage, but after watching him so far this year, I really think it's just a matter of time before the points start coming. He has been much more confident with the puck on his stick and more versatile in what he can do with the puck. I think he'll have fewer goals but more points than he had last year.
