If we have games like that we will win more than we lose. We will be fine.  

This. Burns pipe shot is a goal 99% of the time, and we had a good effort/good start to a road trip against a tough west team about as far of a road trip for us as is possible.  Just an all around promising effort that felt like it should have been worth a point at least.

Aho, KK and Simpke Jack have been egregiously bad in the dot for most of the season.

lol what?? Aho is at 53.6%, Drury 54.5%. Kotkaniemi has been bad in the dot but not the others. It was a rough game, but not really indicative of our centers' faceoffs abilities.

You right.

I looked at ESPN stats last night and they don't have season long fo%. Both have had some real stinker games in the circle. But, overall, much better on the season that I gave them credit for. Ahobaby is actually having a career year in the dot.

Now, last night, all 3 were hot garbage. 

Also, Aho's career year is good for 70th in the NHL this year.

That 70th stat is a bit skewed by wingers who have small sample sizes. Among players with 100+ faceoffs taken this year Aho is 38th, which considering everything else he contributes, is very solid. Interestingly, Trocheck is absolutely dominating the dot and is first in the league at 64.1%, a career high for him. He was very good here but that is a crazy jump. I do miss him to a degree but still think it was the right call to let him walk and add KK.

      Interesting stats on Coker

      Have you seen the size of his hands? Its even noticeable on the field when hes running routes, dude has catchers mitts. Him and Tmac could be a deadly combo if we had a QB that could do the forward pass.

      Ravens Harbaugh Fired

      We need the allure of the NFC East to keep him away from the Falcons and Bucs. NY is the ideal spot, gets him away from our division and builds up everyone in the East except the Cowboys which amuses me.

      Kurt Warner on Bryce Young

      By strato · Posted

      I try to like listening to that guy.  Does he think Canales doesn’t know and didn’t address this day one?  Remember 2.7 seconds, 123 plant throw? That was one of the first things he said.  If you watched for this stuff year two and of course I did, being aware of Young’s issues, you saw the difference in preseason.  Just the one game one drive vs Buffalo but it was there. You can still find that probably. And I ranted about it opening day vs NO that year, Bryce had the footwork for the few drops he made in the 1st qtr.  I forget whether it was very end of that qtr of very beginning of the 2nd, it was gone and the old habits were in place.  This poo isn’t new, where has he been?
