A few observations, albeit very early in the season:
-Only 8 teams have both a better GF% & GAA% than the Wings: (in no particular order)
Flyers, Sabres, Avs, Knights, Oilers, Canes, Pens, Rangers
-Only 7 teams have both a better PP & PK then the Wings: (in no particular order)
Knights, Oilers, Blues, Sharks, Flyers, Panthers, Caps
-12 teams have a better Win% (over .600)
-Only 3 teams are better in all (GF, GAA, PP, PK & Win %)...Flyers, Knights, Oilers
5 on 5: our SV% is .890 vs. league avg. .902. SH% is 11.0% vs. league avg. 9.8%.
HDCF 64 vs. HDCA 78.
We're also playing pretty disciplined w/13 PPO against. 15 PPO for, though refs have missed a bunch, at least more uncalled penalties than what would've/should've gone against us.
We've made some strides since last year though I still expect us to finish ~20th overall (barring major injuries to our core players and/or tons of man games lost to the entire lineup). We are trending up, lots to be excited about this season.
