After squeezing out a penalty shot win following a dominating face-off battle, is this the final proof that there is no correlation between face-off win %age and playing successful hockey?
I mean just compare any season’s top face-off teams to the teams that make the playoffs
The Rangers registered a 76.9 faceoff win percentage in the win, their highest in a game since the NHL began tracking faceoffs in 1997-98.
It is tied for the 10th highest single-game percentage in the NHL since ’97-98 and the highest since the Oilers recorded a 79.6 percent mark on Mar. 9, 2024. #NYR
@Meh97244941@HockeyThinkTank The player in clear possession of the puck cannot put himself offside. There are clips of player skating backwards over the blue line with the puck and they are onside.
@NYIslanders@NHL_Rosters Drafted by the Red Wings using the New York Rangers’ pick that went to Arizona in the Yandle trade. That 2016 20th OA pick gets closer to coming back to MSG…
@J5_Wilshy If he knew in summer that Drury wanted to trade him, or at least that his play didn’t equate to $8M per season, he had 24 games to change Drury’s mind. I guess that didn’t happen.
@BIGGS9911 @JoeFortunatoBSB I don’t think Fox is going, and I also think Kreider was a “shake up the room” threat, but someone is gone in the next fortnight. Probably not Trouba due to “ leadership issues”, but maybe Lindgren?
@BIGGS9911 @JoeFortunatoBSB He has to bench a third of his top six forwards and half his top 4 forwards. He lacks players to do that . This roster needs an overhaul. That’s a GM problem
That is perhaps the worst 1st period I’ve seen since David Quinn was behind the bench.
NYR were not ready to play, is that on the players or the coach. This looks like a team actively trying to get the coach sacked. Maybe that explains Drury’s threat to trade dissenters?
#HighlandandIslandsRP officers spotted this adapted e-scooter being ridden around #Inverness last night without relevant docs.
Yes, that is an exercise bike welded to it.
Rider reported, vehicle seized.
