Heroes of Hockeytown 694 Report post Posted March 15, 2011 And actually, if we're talking about goals for, then the Wings have the third most potent offense in the league. 2nd is "The Core". I was using goals per game instead of the cumulative total, but it hardly matters. The main point is that the Wings are good at scoring goals, and their recent season and playoff history suggests they will keep on being good at it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
evilzyme 769 Report post Posted March 15, 2011 (edited) Current number of players with 10+ goals --------------------------------------- Detroit Red Wings: 11 Phoenix Coyotes: 11 Boston Bruins: 11 Philadelphia Flyers: 9 Atlanta Thrashers: 9 Minnesota Wild: 9 Chicago Blackhawks: 9 Vancouver Canucks: 9 Carolina Hurricanes: 9 Buffalo Sabres: 9 Ottawa Senators: 8 Calgary Flames: 8 Los Angeles Kings: 8 Edmonton Oilers: 8 New York Rangers: 8 Nashville Predators: 8 Tampa Bay Lightning: 8 New York Islanders: 7 Anaheim Ducks: 7 Dallas Stars: 7 Columbus Blue Jackets: 7 Montreal Canadiens: 7 New Jersey Devils: 7 San Jose Sharks: 7 Pittsburgh Penguins: 7 Washington Capitals: 6 Colorado Avalanche: 6 Toronto Maple Leafs: 6 St. Louis Blues: 6 Florida Panthers: 5 I'm sorry but I consider teams potency by how many 10+ goal scorers they have. Red Wings are currently tied in first alongside the Bruins and Coyotes. I find this more of a threat then a team trying to be carried by a few players come playoff time. Especially when the Wings are known for turning the switch on come April. per: www.hockey-reference.com Edited March 15, 2011 by evilzyme Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SouthernWingsFan 854 Report post Posted March 15, 2011 Contrary to what this thread is, I think this is exactly the type of hockey more/less the Wings need to play right now. Of course they have the personnel to play more creative, it's been that way for a while now. When they work though, they have better chances to win. And when they work, they are pretty good at dump and chase and mucking it around on the boards, even though it might not be the first preference of their play type. Just work a little bit harder. Even though the Edmonton game was an ugly win and the Oilers aren't headed anywhere this season, they definitely worked for that win in ways you often need to win playoff victories.
