Thorny Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 I'm not sure what Johnson has to do with goals for. Last year, Gionta, Moulson, Foligno, etc. were about the best on the roster. This year they are not. It really should be self-evident that this year's roster is considerably better than last year's roster, even with injuries. If you actually want to argue that point, I'm not having it. I definitely agree with the idea that we have more talent this year, that's true. But I think what is being argued is that at least a good portion of that is offset by how many injuries we have had this year. We are 2nd overall in man-games lost this year, second to only Edmonton. Also, isn't scoring league wide down this year? A little is probably offset by that. Having said all that, we *are* scoring a lot more with the man advantage, which would be where the talent would have a mush easier time manifesting, considering a lot of it is youth. It'll take a little longer for the youth to get used to producing with consistency 5 on 5. Add to that the fact the we are scoring at a slightly higher rate 5 on 5, and I think the way things are going make some sense. I expect to see massive strides next year.

JJ went and found them to show proof that I am blaming Lehner. As I said before, have not seen enough of his games yet. I know. What I'm saying is that your criticism of him last night does not translate into you blaming him for lack of 5 on 5 scoring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I am ignoring Hoss's hyperbole because I think it is misplaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfreeman Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 The goaltending was only elite while Hasek was here. Nobody else, it's foolish to think otherwise.

Ross Rhea Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 Ah, this again :lol: Miller doesn't have a Vezina, right? Yep he does and so does Carey, Kolzig, Theodore, and older guys like Hextall, Vanbiesbrouck. I don't think any of those guys were considered elite either, yet they managed to win the Vezina also.
