I know you're kidding CHL, but that's the thing, they tried to build a team that could play a 200 ft game. Turns out that not only can the team not score, but they are extremely undisciplined and have taken 22 penalties in 4 games, by far the most, and 7 more than the average of the other teams. But the cherry on top is that they also can't kill penalties, running 6th in the tournament at 77%.
They scored 3 PP goals and gave up 5 shorthanded goals - I wonder how often they have been under water on special teams in the round robin portion of the tourney? Not often, that is a certainty.
