Most surprising stat about your team?

Sabres were opposite 1st ranked PP at 24.5% , 25th in goals with only 199.

That's pretty wild, Trotts runs the PP right?

Red Wings haven't had a 30 goal scorer since the 2008-2009 season.

Red Wings were among the worst records in the standings so it might be a bit of a surprise they were 9-0 in the shootout.

Especially considering they've been pretty terrible at the shootout for several years.

Naturally they go perfect in the shootout during a year it would've been better for them to lose every time and improve their lottery chances.

Red Wings haven't had a 30 goal scorer since the 2008-2009 season.

Man that's depressing. Especially because in 2009 they had four 30+ goal scorers.

Carolina Hurricanes had a pretty weird playoff statistics:

From 97/98 season they were only 5 times in playoffs.

2 times in Stanley Cup finals.

1 Stanley Cup

Plus another appearance in Eastern Conf finals. That means, from year 2002 the were always at least in 3. round. Or semifinals.

And now they are 8 season without playoff.

The majority of Pens fans were frustrated that JR was hired as GM. His 20 year tenure with Carolina is pretty awful outside of 2 playoff runs.

Boy were we wrong.

Also have never had a #1 overall pick......

Surprising stat about the Penguins is that, despite all the silly accusations of "tanking", they have missed the playoffs just 5 times in the past 30 years.

Pens are also 2 games away from setting the NHL record for consecutive home sell outs. This streak spans 10 seasons.

They drafted in the top-5 in 5 straight seasons and each of those picks either played a key role, or was dealt to acquire a player who played a key role in their victory. I'll absolutely buy the argument that their "tanking" wasn't intentionally losing, and that they were just bad, but generally one doesn't necessarily mean a team intentionally tanked when they use that word.

You can't judge a GM when the owners do not allow him to spend the money to be competitive.

I think I saw a stat that said the Pens were undefeated when scoring 4+ goals and didn't win a single game when scoring less than 3 last season... until game 7 against Washington in the playoffs and then again in game 6 of the finals.

 

[ZeroPucksGiven]

They legit tanked for Lemieux. Coincidentally, that isn't in your 30 year timeline.

And Washington legit tanked to land Ovie

Sure you can. Many teams make the playoffs with lower payrolls. Making the playoffs just 5x in 20 years in the NHL is pretty pathetic, IMO.
