News Article: News and Notes XXVI: A Sisyphean Rask

I'm so sick of you not pulling yourself up by your bootstraps.

 

[CandyCanes]

I'm surprised we haven't seen anyone wear any brown paper bags over their heads at games yet.

Swing and a miss on this one. Send Williams and one of Faulk/Hamilton off at the TDL. Ferland too if you can’t sign him.

You mean, we trade Hanifin/Lindy to let Ferland go and trade Hamilton asap? That's legendary bad trade then.

Hadn't seen this shared here yet.

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

Last year, he was ineffective. He also hewed much more closely to the Peters system then he ever had.

No, he just visibly stopped giving a shit in November.

Great. Another indicator that we're chasing the wrong f***ing stats.

Precisely. Also an indicator that Rod needs to get his head out of his ass and put svechnikov with talent instead of 2 4th liners.

tarasenko - aho - svech would be a nasty line

The question is why our team S% is so low. Is it because we have bad players that can't shoot? Partly, yes. Wallmark is the primary example of this. He's got a decently high shot share with a pathetic 1.7%, and you know a good number of those are high danger. With Foegele you've got a lower shot share but a higher 6.5%, but most of that probably came in the early weeks. Outside of that, most players with a large share of shots are shooting below their career averages, with notable exceptions being Ferland and Martinook who are shooting well above their averages. Some, like Aho and TT, are slighly below their average S%. Here's the kicker: our top 3 shot producers are Dougie, Faulk, and Staal who have combined for 249 shots and only 9 goals. Faulk in particular is shooting at a piss poor 1.3%, so while his defense seems better, his offensive production has gotten even worse than last year. Dougie is on pace for his worst offensive year since 2014. Now, clearly Martinook has benefited greatly from playing with Wallmark and Svechnikov to add a few goals here and there, but not anything too amazing. I mean he's averaged 25 points or so over his career. The more interesting question is who's been carrying the TT-Aho-Ferland line. Aho was putting up crazy points before Ferland got injured and is real quiet now. But remember he's scoring less than last year. It seems like most players are suffering offensively, not just the grinders. Carolina Hurricanes Stats | 2018-2019

It also begs the question: why do we always have low shooting percentages? It seems like player's S% jump up when they go to other teams. Is it due to not having talent to play with or how they play here?

Wallmark posted 17% both seasons in the AHL, with quite decent shot volume too, so not just fluke numbers. So either the (pathetic, indeed) 1,9% is due to an extreme case of bad luck, the system or a strange case of the yips. Looking at the other stats, the Martinook-Wallmark-Svech line produces the most high danger scoring chances (evenly distributed among the three) on the whole team but none of them has a SH% over 10%. So that'd point to the direction that it's more a case of bad luck than anything else. But I guess it has to turn around pretty soon to be proven true.

What talent?

Everyone can’t play with Aho.

 

[the halleJOKEL]

or maybe they can...?

quadruple shift aho, run 4 sets of wings, have a 4th line for shutdown/PK purposes

ferland - aho - TT
svech - aho - martinook
foegele - aho - rask
wallmark - aho - williams
pdg - staal - mcginn

He’s not wrong. The Oilers have f*** all for offense behind he and McDavid.

its like clockwork with that guy. Steering into this spin has been fun, though.

 

[RodTheBawd]

Pretty sure the dude has a Drais shrine in a secret room, inclusive of a few of his jockstraps on display. Right next to his Faulk kill room.

It'd be okay with me in a game where the Canes went up something like 3-0 in the first period. Example being against a team like Edmonton where you would want him out there at all times when McDavid was on the ice. But in games the Canes can't score? No way.

 

[The Faulker 27]

Geez is he getting that much TOI? I haven't looked at his stats lately.

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

Geez is he getting that much TOI? I haven't looked at his stats lately.

His season high was 24:21 on Sunday against LA, he also played 23:00 against Anaheim. For the most part he’s been between 18-20 minutes.

He also hasn’t scored a goal in over a month now.

Thought this was about Faulk and felt pretty good(minus the lack of goals) for a second.... I'm disliking RBA even more than I thought I would...
