Is this true?

[Automattic]

The Canucks had killed off 36 straight penalties before last nights game?


Scary. And one of the key ingredients to a strong playoff run...

that was true.

 

[IPostedWhat]

I think it was 31 straight?

 

[IPostedWhat]

The Canucks have killed off 31 straight penalties over their last eight games and 38 of their last 39 over their last ten, while the Blues penalty kill is sits 20th in the league, and will likely have issues with the Canucks top ranked power play.

[puckhead]

gospel truth. (maybe 35 - i show 31 in 8 clean games, + the last 4 PKs in a Cal game)
Sandwiched between the two losses to St Louis (Dec 5 - Feb 14), Lou was 21-0-5.
hell of a way to put up points.


but as of tonight, we are on our 12th defenseman of the season.

Another weird stat I heard about the Canucks last night - They haven't won a game this season when trailing after 20 minutes (0-5-4).

yeah they are now 0-5-5 that being said we have only trailed 10 times this season after teh 1st. Im not sure if that is a strong stat or not

Ok, it was a 36 game streak.

Roberto’s unbeaten streak wasn’t the only one to end tonight, as the Blues’ first goal of the game came on a power play just 5 minutes in. With that goal, Vancouver’s successful concurrent penalty kill streak of 36 games came to an end.

Wait, now I'm confused.

If they have killed off penalties in 36 straight games, how do they have a record of killing off 38 of 39 over their last 10 games before playing the Blues?

Am I just missing something obvious here?

 

[jstewismybastardson]

and for tonights game ... Minnesota Wild have been outshot in all but 6 games this year

 

[Automattic]

Ahhh. THN mobile had it wrong.

i can say without hesitation that when I looked at last years Hawks at the start of the season, the Penguins teh year before, the Wings before that and the Ducks before that I looked at everyone of those teams and said they would win the cup that year. I made money on the Wings and the Ducks. but didnt put money on hawks or Pens. I dont look at my Canucks and think for one second they are the Stanley Cup Favorites. I still think its the Wings once all healthy and their goaltending cleans up a bit. Maybe its 40 years of history with this club :/

Meanwhile, the Red Wings will make the playoffs for the 5 millionth consecutive season. yawn.
