truebladearmy 33 Report post Posted November 18, 2010 Goals Per game, 2nd with 3.62 Point Percentage, 1st, with .781 Goals against per game, 6th with 2.44 Power Play 11th in the league (Up from 15th a week ago), 19.4% Penalty Kill 10th, with 84.6% (Up too, but I don't know from what) We're winning 52.2% of our face-offs. Every Center we have is over 50% Total goals in first Period 15, ranked 19th overall. Total goals in second period 23, ranked 3rd overall. Total goals in third period 18, ranked 9th overall. OT goals 2, tied for 2nd overall Goals against first period, 14 for 11th overall Goals against second period, 14 for 8th overall Goals against third period, 11, tied for 2nd overall Just some random yet interesting stats. Shows our scoring is pretty low in the first period, and our defense is the weakest in the first. Like we start every game after a night of boozing and have to work it out of our systems. The second period is when we get most of our goals. The third period we seem to really tighten down defensively (Lately by firing an out of NO WHERE offensive), and do alright in goals. It's just fun to look at some random numbers by period. When we out-shoot a team, we win .800% That is first in the NHL. When we are out-shot by a team, we win .600% of the time anyway. We have out-shot 66% of our opponents. I bet we have out "Missed shots" every one of our opponents :-p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellowknife Redwing 57 Report post Posted November 18, 2010 Goals against third period, 11, tied for 2nd overall It's easy to become bogged down in stat mongering, but I can't help but crack a smile at this one. That's an extremely positive trend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Total goals in second period 23, ranked 3rd overall. It's just funny to think, so far you've been able to count on Detroit to pick it up and get a lead in the second, and so far this year they really have locked down third periods. I just think it's cool when the stats on paper match up with what you're seeing on the ice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

titanium2 867 Report post Posted November 19, 2010 I suppose that in a way we can be ever so slightly okay with where the PP is right now. If they're finding ways to get goals 5 on 5 then maybe they won't rely too much on the PP like they have at times in the past. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
