Interesting regular season stat

[tommingthepuck96 1]

Don't know if this has been posted, but this year the wings scored the EXACT amount of goals that they scored last year. 252. Last year it had them ranked as 10 overall in goal scoring, this year its ranked number 3.

I only looked up this stat because i was just thinking about the players the wings lost after last year, lang, schiender, calder, and bertuzzi's 15 reg season gp. Kinda amazing how many players really stepped up this year to fill the gap, after only aquiring one real scoring free agent in rafalski.

Yeah, it is pretty amazing. What other organization could lose literally their entire second line and not experience a drop in production?

The Wings lost their entire second line from last season?

I hope you don't mean Bertuzzi and Calder.

But you're right, Jason Williams didn't come back either.

And the way people here speak of Samuelsson....well, I guess it would be more impressively stated as:

"The only returning member from the Wings' 06-07 second line was that suck butt Mikael Samuelsson, and the offense still didn't get worse!"

Well, you know what I mean. They lost three top-six players. Their role was to score. The Wings didn't sign any scoring forwards during the off-season and they still replicated what they did last year which is amazing.
