MTU_Huskies963 398 Report post Posted April 24, 2015 Is there any site that keeps track of this stat or icing stats in general? In this series (and season) I've noticed a lot of times the wing's break out passes go wide, and sail down the ice for an icing. I'm curious to know what the avg is for the league, and if other teams commit the same amount. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GMRwings1983 8,794 Report post Posted April 24, 2015 Well, this isn't your older brother's Red Wings, unfortunately. We don't have those skilled defensemen anymore that could make great passes up the ice tape to tape. 1 unsaddleddonald reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WingsallTheway 383 Report post Posted April 24, 2015 I guarantee we ice the puck more often then any team. Quincey and Ericcsson seem to be the worst for this. Its odd, because even when we get a turnover in the neutral zone, instead of turning around and restarting a breakout, we just whip it back into theyre zone and give it back to them. This is obviously followed by a too many men penalty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On a side note, Pav had a brutal unforced icing last night which pretty much summed up the kind of night he had. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is obviously followed by a too many men penalty I'd say they have at least 15-20 unforced icings a game. Say the wings win 50% of those faceoffs that's almost 10 extra offensive posessions for their opponent a game while the wings are losing possible posessions in the offensive zone. It's frustrating to watch, and I basically count it as a turnover even if they win the ensuing faceoff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PavelValerievichDatsyuk 1,935 Report post Posted April 24, 2015 Yeah this was a definite problem last game. Pav had that bad one and Tatar did one of those hail mary flips to clear the zone that went for an icing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't determine forced/unforced, but I'd say most icings tend to be unforced. TB has 12. You can find the info in the play by play reports on NHL.com. Far too much work to go through the whole season, much less to do so for the whole league. Like most other stats, I would assume the Wings are between a bit above or a bit below average. 1 krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess I'm lumping the passes that are basically turnovers into the icings haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The worst part about that one was that Tats felt pressure from behind that wasn't there. Tats is playing on edge right now. 1 PavelValerievichDatsyuk reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
