3 years combined prior to Tocchet taking over Arizona the Yotes were about a 42% goals for team in all situations. They had among the worst goal scoring in the league. During Tocchet's tenure the goal scoring was slightly worse than previous, but not a significant amount and the Coyotes were closer to a 47-48% goals for team in all situations. Upon Tocchet's leaving Arizona returned to 42% goals for team in all situations. Yes yes lots of roster turn over and what not. Just found it interesting. Tocchet seems to have closed the gap some, but not enough and the talent turnover in Arizona is very difficult to overcome. Rick may well get Vancouver playing the 'Right way' and salvage some whatever for Aqua man and then the hope selling renews.

Twin Cinema posted:e: McDavid scored 40 goals last night, and it's the quickest someone has scored 40 since Bure in 99-00. He's on pace for nearly 70 goals. That's insane. Actually anything more than 128 (kucherov, 2019) would be the best season since then. God hockey got boring in the mid 90s.

Sully is treating him like he's 25 year old Jordan Staal and it's insane.

Sullivan gives O zone starts in this order - Croby's line, Malkin's line, 4th line, and then 3rd line. Carter remains on the 3rd line. It isn't a failure of Carter and tbh it isn't a failure of Sullivan. When Cullen and Bonino were with the Pens they were tasked with getting awful zone starts and get a zone exit and, if possible, generate offensive zone pressure and a O zone faceoff. There is a long list I would rather see given O zone starts than Carter. What needs to be addressed in the Penguins forward core is adding *at least* one 3rd line player that can eat up D zone starts, gets exits, and not get annihilated when doing it. The current crop of forwards trying to do it in McGinn, Carter, and Blueger isn't cutting. Nor is the defensive pairing of Rutta/Dumo. Addressing the D core is a different matter entirely though.

Sullivan wants to deploy his bottom six to eat all the hard minutes and they're getting destroyed while doing it.

I remember when Chris Kunitz broke Craig Anderson's heart in 2017 I figured that sure Anderson would probably hang around and collect a paycheck another year or two, but that was pretty much the end of him. Six years later, he's still here.

Darude - Adam Sandstorm posted:They have already done that!!! It's been 9 years since the last ones, so it's probably appropriate to allow another round with the cap staying static. If not for the covid restart the CBA would've expired this year and there likely would've been another round of them. I think maybe one every 4 years per team or something would go a long way to helping the cap crunch on organizations. A penalty free mulligan that allows for some flexibility. Owners probably balk a bit because it's artificially reducing the player's side of HRR but maybe there's a way to tack it onto escrow or something.
