[Kelly] At the halfway point, only 3 teams have underperformed their expected goals more than the New York Rangers. A few things stand out when looking deeper but this one with Zibanejad & Panarin caught my eye. The only forwards in the NHL with at least 50 attempts, less than 2 goals.
Probably cause they take every one-timer from the same spot at top of the circle and other teams are prepared for it. But what do l know, it could be anything 🙄
At some point its just a luck thing. Obviously they can both still absolutely wire the puck. Still just not good enough
They forgot Mika’s broken stick stat.
So when is this sub going to turn on panarin? 🍿
Wait, did Mika make more goals than Panarin?
Somehow I have totally missed that Panarin also is not producing well. I noticed it in the last 2 games that he is not doing much but overall I felt that he has a very strong season.
Don’t need stats to see this – just watch the games.
You’re telling me that last season Mika took 160 one timers, got a little more than half of them on net, and of those 80+ pucks he got on net with his one timer, 15 went in?
I gotta tell ya, it didn’t feel that way watching the games last season.
