Way Too Early Time On Ice Observations

Recommended Posts

Forwards:

-Mitts leads the centers with 17:20. Did anybody expect that?

Tage is 16:27 and Cozens 16:52. 
 

-We need to free Peyton Krebs. This may entirely be attributed to being down early in each game, but….

He was hitched to Okposo last year and that was fine because Okie was getting 14:40 a game.  That’s down to 10:17. Zemgus is 9:28. Krebs needs to be on the ice a lot more than ten minutes a night. He’s currently at 12:31, but that’s because of the PK. 

-Greenway is a top six forward with the same average time on ice as Tage. 

Defense:

-Dahlin and Power have been rotating partners and have been spotted playing together. 
 

-Samuelsson is getting the toughest minutes because he’s never on the PP.  Dude is a horse. He’s also a plus one after the two games in which we have been outscored 8-3. 
 

Dahlin 24:52

Power 24:39

Muel 21:50

———————

Joker 16:36

Cliffy 16:25

———————

Erik Johnson 12:09

He’s a glorified PK specialist.  Maybe he’s being eased in or managing an injury? I don’t think this is sustainable as a model. For example, Lyubushkin & Clague averaged 15 min a game in their starts last year. 
When there’s an injury on the blue line, I would be nervous for this team.

 

Like I said, way to early to draw any conclusions, but I did it anyway

You're talking about a difference of about 5% ice time between the top three Cs.  At this point in the season I don't see that as in any way significant.

As far as I’ve seen, we’ve basically been rolling lines to the best of our ability. The spread isn’t surprising.
