Hopefully he mixes it up on Price. Although he put one over the short-side shoulder of Rinne, he tried that at least twice against Price who was having none of it.

Let's see how he adjusts.

The injuries will allow that to happen as 2 pp guys have went down.

Firstly, who cares how many pp goals per game they've scored? That means nothing. The only thing that matters is how often they score relative to how many chances they're given, which as of right now, is 20.5% of the time.

How many teams achieved that 20.5% or better, over the last 5 years?

13/14 - 3
12/13 - 5
11/12 - 3
10/11 - 6
09/10 - 7
Avg - 4.8 teams/season

You're unwillingness to acknowledge you were incorrect is exactly why you can't seem to stick around here. You're confrontational and involve yourself in dumb arguments on a regular basis.

There is an interesting pre-game write-up about Gaudreau on NHL.com.

Mostly just a bunch of praise. It sounds like Hartley is sold, but they technically haven't told him to get a permanent residence yet.

I just wanted to point out that it is still way too small of a sample size. For example, if we look at Pit 42% on the PP... how often does that happen?!

The Flames PP is 9th in the league so that's great but if it goes dry for a few games it will drop substantially. I prefer to look at special teams as a sum (20.5%PP + 75%PK) is still less than 100% so we have lots of room for improvment.

Anyways, time to kick some Canadian ass, I hope you all enjoy the game.
