Observations XXVII

I like how no one has mentioned Granlund has been getting a ton of PK time which is going to make his TOI numbers higher that Forsberg's.

how much PK time Granlund gets is irrelevant when specifically comparing ES and PP time.

More Saros stats:

Those are the kind of numbers that Saros generated in Milwaukee.

In 38 games he was 28-9 with 2.24 GAA and .920 Save%.

The following season, he played 15 games and was 13-2 with 1.86 and .934.

In 2017-18, Saros played 9 games with 3-5, 2.88 GAA and .906. That was the scoring challenged Admirals team that finished 5th in the division and out of the playoffs. It finally got Dean Evason, the current Interim Coach of the Minnesota Wild, FIRED!

That was the same season that Trenin played only 44 games, due to Evason not liking him.

Of Preds last 10 wins Saros has been in goal 9 times.

Of Preds last 10 losses Saros has been in goal 4 times.

The boys played as a team in the past couple of games ... back to structure over individualism with everyone contributing.

They've been real comrades, eh?

Comrades would have received to each according to their needs.

When all of the players contribute this team can compete against, and beat, anyone. Too many times this year we've been left complaining about Joey looking lazy, Forsberg trying to do it all himself, and Josi doing laps around the offensive zone until the inevitable loss of the puck and ensuing odd man rush. For the past couple games those negatives were absent.

The "structure over individualism" part sent me back into my poli sci days of reading Marx

My take on it was overall ice time. If that's the case, you have to include PK time.

Best $5k he ever spent.

Corey Perry slashing Roman across the back of the legs was ok?

I totally misread this under the rational assumption that most organizations would have paid Josi $5k for slashing Perry. My bad.

Ok, I’ll say it. The NHL loves their thugs and have a soft spot for Perry.
Question: Is Parros still responsible for NHL player safety?
