posted these in another thread, but they should go here...
. . .
Look at the new guys like Leivo and Simon
Leivo: 0.527 PPG last year, 0.118 this year
Simon: 0.344 PPG last year, zero this year
Nordstrom: 0.354 PPG last year, zero this year
Did they all forget how to hockey? Or is there something wrong with the system?
. . .
Look at the Flames over the last 3 years (5 on 5 goals):
2018/19: 188 goals, 2.29 GPG (2nd)
2019/20: 133 goals, 1.90 GPG (21st)
2020/21: 32 goals, 1.60 GPG, (24th)
Are they getting less talented?
Is the league 'wise' to them, but not to the other teams in the league - just the Flames have been figured out?
It isn't complicated - they are the same team but they are not performing at the same level
. . .
The core is the same, so the talent is the same, but the production has been going steadily down. And it is team-wide, it isn't just a couple of guys
