People who don't care about faceoffs show the fancy stats that say they don't matter. People who do care about faceoffs point out every goal that is scored against when one is lost. Easy to argue this one however you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Center ice draws don't matter, draws late in games in the zone do. Draws on special teams in the zone do. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PASabreFan Posted November 16, 2022 Report Share Posted November 16, 2022 No offense to Tuch, but the replay of that ill fated no look pass toward Skinner, ruining a glorious chance to score, should be jettisoned through outer space so in 10 billion years some advanced civilization can say, "Ah, so that was Sabres hockey." 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickshaw Posted November 16, 2022 Report Share Posted November 16, 2022 Face offs matter for pick possesion. If you don’t have the puck you don’t score! Obviously it’s when you wins them but if you’re 13-5 consistently then chances are you win many in important times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pull the puck right back to a guy ready for a shot on net cleanly is one type of win, pulling it back into a scrum where you eventually gain control of it after a second or two is another. Both will be called 'faceoff wins' but they are 2 totally different things. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
