Lets put it this way: 2011/12 430 home hits, 242 away hits (188 more at home having only played 2 more games at home) 2010/11 1614 home hits, 898 away hits (716 more at home than on the road 41 games each) 2009/10 1416 home hits, 922 away hits (494 more at home) 2008/09 1464 home hits, 812 away hits (612 more at home) You honestly telling me Dallas nearly doubles their hits at home compared to on the road? The hit stats in the NHL are a gong show. Some teams only count huge leveling runs, other teams *cough*dallas*cough* count every small little love tap twice. Hell, the Oilers were credited with 37 hits during the game against Dallas, the stars with 69! The stars maybe reached 30, and the Oilers MAYBE hit 20. As far as I am concerned Boston is 1st, with LA, Anaheim, and Calgary not too far behind. hmm...point taken. Oh well. If inflating the hit counter can help sell tickets then I guess its a whatever. Cannt think of any other reason why they'd wanna inflate it. 17 striaght losses in Minny is the end of the line for the Oilers. 5-2 on the backs of Hall/Eberle/RNH(3g/3a combined) | ||

I sort of saw it coming when the players weren't responding. -_- Bruce is a great couch and I admire the fact he was willing to bench his best players if they weren't going to play under his system. With that said, it looks like the Leafs have replaced Washington's up-tempo style. Definitely one of the most interesting teams to watch right now.

It was coming, the team cannot just go for such a stream out of the blue, they played horribly and there was nothing Bruce could/would do. This team needs some defenders tho (with Green, Poti and Erskine injured ...) | ||

http://www.theteam1260.com/blog/nielson/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10319086 "We Built This Smytty" parody of We Build This City - Starship I hope the Oilers rebound from their last 80 minutes of less than mediocre hockey... they've been fatigued at best, flat out asleep at worst... I just want to see some more good efforts with more than 20 shots on net. Oh well, we've had a fairly tough schedule. We've played in Colorado twice both times being the third game in four nights and second of back-to-back games... I'd like a talk with the guys who made the schedule to say the least. | ||

Decent games at least. As for Washington. It will be interesting to see how their all-stars will play with a new coach because I can't believe that their struggles this season have been solely due to Boudreau. | ||

Offencivly gifted and minded teams generally suck at playing defence. And those same teams generally falter when it comes to the postseason. Boudreau had a primadonna group of players who failed to buy in because they were used to the old way, even though it got them nowhere in the playoffs. The ultra-talented Penguins won a Cup when their primary pressure system was a passive 1-2-2; only when they were behind or had a lot of momentum did that Cup winning team really up the forecheck. Detroit has a lot of offensive talent but those players have bought in over the years and understand that it's better to play a tough system than to score lots of goals and give up lots of chances. A culture change was necessary for that organization. edit: And now Boudreau has a job. Randy Carlyle has been fired by the Ducks (7-13-4, tied for last in league w/ Islanders) and Boudreau gets the job. It'll be interesting to see what happens with Bobby Ryan because there have been heavy rumors this week that he was getting shopped around for a potential trade. AnaheimDucks Anaheim Ducks Bruce Boudreau replaces Randy Carlyle as #NHLDucks head coach. Details to come. 22 minutes ago mirtle James Mirtle Ducks name Bruce Boudreau head coach, replacing Randy Carlyle. That didn't take long... 20 minutes ago TSNBobMcKenzie Bob McKenzie Bruce Boudreau replaces Randy Carlyle as head coach of the Anaheim Ducks, as per team release. 21 minutes ago | ||
