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.

      Joint Practice - Jets

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.

      Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.

      You are telling me Paul Maurice is a better coach than Rod??? Yes!!!  It’s because he plays a better system and has a better goalie.   Our system sucks in playoffs and he refuses to roll with Koochie. Dallas cowboys level poo
