Hah, yeah, missed that.I snickered 🤭If Dubas is taking on extra roles for the time being, I’d like to see what he could do with the PP. Hell, I’d like to see what his grandma could do with the PP.
You’re welcome.

Yeah, if he was skating to the unemployment office...boom roasted.Lol. Skating speed hmmm. I bet Eric Tangradi hit 21 mph tooChart says Jeff Carter is fast af, bro...
Trust the science.
Why are people keeping these stats?
Yeah, Otter is unreal. I just don't think there's a platform for luck - so to speak - near the net if Sid isn't at the top of his game (and he's not going to be at the top athletically anymore)...I just don't see anyone in the organization that can work there. Rakell has been a zilch this season, which makes it worse.
I just don't know what's really out there...Mantha, Vrana, Hoffman (not that he'll play low) just aren't a fit salary wise...guys that I've wanted over the years like Hoglander seem to be catching on on their original teams...and I'm a little scared to add a middling choice. Like...I'd go down the road on POJ for Yakov Trenin and see if I think that might help, for instance...but I don't know who is going to be out there making trades before American Thanksgiving...
I think the stat could be interesting but only if you compare it to other teams. the stats by themselves are utterly meaninglessLol. Skating speed hmmm. I bet Eric Tangradi hit 21 mph tooChart says Jeff Carter is fast af, bro...

I agree, but per what meecrofilm said earlier from the Eller interview the bottom six is being coached to not skate around like idiots, to not do bottom six things, to just go out there and exist for 45 seconds and don't get scored on.The 4th line is trash. It’s a dead horse but Carter just shouldn’t be in the league anymore. I’d really just like to see Poulin or someone with some legs get a chance on the 4th line to see if they at least start skating around like idiots. What’s so frustrating for me about this 4th line ,outside of zero chance of scoring thing, is how flat they are out there. There’s not even the whole “we can’t score but we will run around and hit you”
If Sully is telling his third and fourth line to play that way, he’s really lost the plot. I can’t imagine him telling his players to play that way, but if he has, I guess he doesn’t realize that there isn’t a team in the league that goes anywhere with just top line scoring.I agree, but per what meecrofilm said earlier from the Eller interview the bottom six is being coached to not skate around like idiots, to not do bottom six things, to just go out there and exist for 45 seconds and don't get scored on.The 4th line is trash.

Oh no, this again...This is a mid to lower-mid team. 12th-20th probably.
Lemme see if I can dig it up.....What exactly did Eller say...? Because you watch the game, and it's not like the Pens aren't sitting back in a 1-4 with those guys on the ice...so, I have my doubts...
I asked yesterday why [Eller's] line's still seeing so many one-and-done zone entries -- puck goes in, puck comes right back out -- and all he had in response was this hockey thesis:
“Yeah, so I think right now we’re kind of playing a really low-risk game where we’re putting pucks north all the time. We’re getting out of our zone. We’re getting it deep. We’re not turning pucks over at the blue line. We’re not trying to do too much. But at the same time, the next step right now is getting the forecheck to be more effective, which means we have to force turnovers off getting the puck deep and getting on the forecheck. That’s the part of the game that’s lacking a little bit now, and that’s what’s stopping us from getting extended zone time. So, the first step is, when we get it in deep, which we are most of the time, we have to get it back. And now, we’ve got to do better of working three together, breaking up plays with sticks, getting bodies, keeping the puck alive. Right now, that’s what’s stopping us from getting more offense, I think. So, that’s the first step. Once we do that, then we can talk about, ‘How do we cycle? How do we find the open lanes? How do we find the open ice?’ We’ve got to get the puck right now and keep it alive. Right now, we’re not spending a ton of time in our zone. We’re playing responsible. We’re not giving up a lot, you know, but we’re not generating as much as we’re capable of. I think that’s where it starts for me."
