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.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
