I think that 12th place may be a bit misleading, because we seem to be in a regression to the mean phase right now.Kevinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14157741697150784666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16918358.post-90627174970430395402008-12-15T15:55:00.000-07:002008-12-15T15:55:00.000-07:00<I>methinks warren peters gets the nod again.</I><BR/><BR/>Sounds about right. Boyd goes up to fill a spot in the top 9, and Peters didn't make a fool of himself in New York.<BR/><BR/>As for lines, Glencross' absence screws things anyway , so why not this:<BR/><BR/>Bourque-Langkow-Iginla<BR/><BR/>power vs. power<BR/><BR/>Lombardi-Conroy-Moss<BR/><BR/>second toughs<BR/><BR/>Cammalleri-Boyd-Bertuzzi<BR/><BR/>Softer matchups, and be rigorous about it. Like Randy Carlyle in 06/07 with the Getzlaf line rigorous.<BR/><BR/>?-Nystrom-Roy<BR/><BR/>10 ES shifts max. Nystrom gets some extra time on the PK.robert cleavehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02543586650196213332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16918358.post-19228865169250810322008-12-15T14:23:00.000-07:002008-12-15T14:23:00.000-07:00i think pardy has taken some major strides since becoming a regular. he started out invisibly steady and has progressed to notable hits, good stickwork and excellent man-on-man (the dude is HUGE). he's still making some mistakes but with his minutes going up that can only be expected.<BR/><BR/>PLUS he's making sarich look useful...<BR/><BR/>methinks warren peters gets the nod again.walkinvisiblehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08874510508773958406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16918358.post-20088511551886266032008-12-15T14:00:00.000-07:002008-12-15T14:00:00.000-07:00<I>Not a single flames player has a negative corsi rating, but only two of them are positive in terms of GF/GA</I><BR/><BR/>I coach I used to talk to always lamented games where his team didn't "bear down" on its chances, and there have been more than a few games this season where I've felt overly frustrated about missed opportunities around the net, particularly at evens.<BR/><BR/>This could be one of those things that corrects over time, or it could be a lack of natural talent around the net. <BR/><BR/>Or, it could be a myth.duncanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16433163316485435724noreply@blogger.com
