5v5

Henrik was on the ice for 29 gf and 36ga
Danny 28 gf 33 ga

It's not as big as you guys are thinking and that doesn't include the PP.

Henrik and Danny 29 gf 5 Ga on the PP.

Kind of hard to be on the ice for a GA when you are sitting in the penalty box for hooking or holding and your brother is on the bench watching others kill the penalty

The only loss felt will be on the PP as playmakers for Bo/Brock.

I really don’t think there’s an argument to be made that they’re actually helping this team at 5v5

Lets see how many PP pts we get in the next 13 games with Boeser gone

Pretty bad nunbers considering that they start 70% of their faceoffs in the ozone.

What other plays seeking the league are minus players at 5v5 with that usage?


I agree they’re still decent PP players btw

They better have decent numbers they are on ice for 66% of the PP and keep the puck between the two of them . They are constantly looking for each other first . You need to try something else.

Maybe we are just looking for a goalie that doesn't let the first shot in 15 times a year

Danny 13 penalties taken 10 drawn
Henrik 13 penalties taken 11 drawn

They are a net loss on all fronts but it's not as bad as you think.

I'm happy with them not coming back but the team isn't going to be better for it in the short term, which incidentally is what mgmt is going for.

Carol,

Thank you for another entertaining blog! Hard slogging again this year...

Go EP, AG, OJ, TD, KL, PP and all the prospects...looking better than past years, with out a doubt!

I think the 'Nucks will be on the short end again, L.A. by 3...

Skinner is much worse, Patrick Kane isn't too far off and Kessel is a stretch but 62% and -3 gf +/-

Because of their 5v5 play and how it is getting worse, they should retire. Their PP numbers only only good because Bo and Boeser are that good. They can easily be replaces on the PP and their 5v5 numbers are easily replaced as well.

He would be a good consolation prize if we do not get Dahlin or Zadina.

He looks like a solid choice, if we don't get win the Dahlin lottery (yeah, I know, 4-6 most probable draft slots). More D prospects needed.

Poll question (full disclosure - not a real poll)

Assuming Demko is not slotted in as a backup next year, because our defence is suspect and will likely be just as suspect next year.
Assuming we somehow get rid of either of the current Swedish meatballs.

Who would you go for as a UFA goalie??

Bernier?
Lehner?
Ward?
Hellebuyck??
Raanta??

Other smart azz answer?

I want them to go right off the board... hire a Eastern European, Non-English Speaking with a quasi-fascist background and a name with no vowels. THAT'S A GOALIE!

Skinner is getting tons of heat from Canes fans(yes they exist lol).

Kane and Kessel is surprising

Probably why the Hawks are on the outside looking in and why the Pens have had an up and down regular season despite having a stacked forward group
