I don’t see a team chasing the puck around.
I see a team without a ton of finishers. The players who declined:
Huberdeau
Lindholm - not hard to figure out why
Mangiapane - living off unsustainable shooting percentages
Other players met or exceeded their averages.
Not saying I have the answers, or that I’m even right. I’m just looking at some of the numbers that are actually out there. It’s fine if we see it differently, I won’t ask if you actually watch the games.

Didn’t mean to offend. But they sure as heck did ring the puck around the boards a ton, and get garbage shots from the point
This happened repeatedly and it isn’t in the stats because it isn’t something measured
That’s the whole point. The stats aren’t the be-all end-all
The stats guys know it. There are companies based on this knowledge. The better / more granular stats are paid for
And a guy here or there picking up 5-10 points does not make everything ok. That happens to every team every year.
The guy who has the skill to get 115 and went to 55 is not normal
Quite simply, it’s a cop out to respond to me asking for more stats. My while point is that the existing stats don’t measure the things that are needed to look deeper
