That doesn't make any sense.
Even the best face off guys in the league only float around 55%. Players don't get suddenly better or worse on the dot just because they are on special teams.
You mean to tell me that the Flames suck on the PK because they lose the faceoff 55% of the time (at most)?
No, that doesn't make sense.
Our PK sucks because we collapse towards the net in an effort to block shots. We give the opposition so much time and space that they can cycle to puck as low as the top of the circle with no pressure. We only have one guy up top, and he roams around, giving the other team way to much time to make any play they want.
It's not because of faceoffs. It's because of bad coaching.
