North Buffalo Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 Stevie Y departure is a big shock, can only think either there is a move in the future or health as others have said. Timing lends itself to health issue unless there is some internal politics we are unaware of. Weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoss Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 Stevie Y is indeed heading back to Detroit after this season, per reports. Tampa Bay should be livid this somehow transpired. BriseBois is very good, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta wonder how they feel about that Most of those deals were negotiated by Brisebrois. He has been the main driver in their scouting and player dev. They have been holding a spot for him for a while. Denied Blo and others the opportunity to interview him. This will have no impact on Tampa at all.

So, the expectation is that you score on that play 11% more often than you give up a scoring chance. Looks like there is a reason teams take the point shot.

Looks like there is a reason teams take the point shot. I guess I’d want to see it compared to other areas but this doesn’t feel like good enough “risk” to have it as a focal point of an offense. At least not for anyone without studs on the blue line. Mmmm Rasmus Dahlin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Flagg Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 If there's a team whose main offensive zone goal (separate from ability) is not to create slot space and get the puck there, that team should fold And of course, there are plenty of times where the only option is to pass to the point, and the only option from there is to shoot, or even just wring the puck around, and of course that's what should be done in those instances - but teams should never, all things equal, prefer the point man versus the guy in the slot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Ruff's system and any of Miller, Biron, and/or (of course) Hasek, I'd take it in a hot second. And I think the percentages would go up.

Once his shot takes off the face of a teammate, it's even more likely to face an odd man rush. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildCard Posted September 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 @BrettCyrgalis Wonder how much #Isles brass is over John Tavares? How about this from Lamoriello today: “There’s no aftermath. Players come and go. It’s different if they had won championships. It’s different if they had had a lot of success. They haven’t done much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
