Can someone explain to me why there is such a lack of offence in the KHL? Riga Dynamo has 52 goals in 33 games so far. Most teams are averaging under 3 goals a game and 7 teams are under 2 goals a game.

Picking one team that made the playoffs with GPG of this and that is cherry picking. WSH won the President's scoring in bunchesback then and failed to win the cup so what?It really isn't, it has been that way for years, before SKA became dominant and CSKA appeared on the map at all. In 15/16, for example, Neftekhimik made the playoffs scoring 2.16 goals per game. SKA meanwhile, finished 6th in the West. In 13/14 Loko made it with whopping 2.01 gaols per game while CSKA was just one step above them in the standings.
Surely talent disparity adds to it but nothing is "that simple".
Shipachev being back with the SKA sure will help League Scoring...
P.A. Parenteau has 12 points in his 11 KHL games so far. Yet lately he's been playing 11 minutes per game. Like I said, that's the Russian way, they don't believe in outscoring your opponent. Kind of same with Kaprizov getting 14 minutes per game on CSKA.
In the NHL those would be the guys who play 20 minutes per game, in the KHL you score a goal and you get stapled to the bench because it's time to protect the lead now.
What there's to explain? Top teams has top top players and bottom teams hasn't. Top players score plenty and avarage or lover level player score much less. And the hockey in Europe is played on a bigger ice.Can someone explain to me why there is such a lack of offence in the KHL? Riga Dynamo has 52 goals in 33 games so far.
