yikes, ok hows about a shortie on this one?

 

[johnnytata]

a bit off topic,

but wouldn't a more accurate pp% stat be goals/pp minute as opposed to goals/pp?

I'd agree with that. Good observation.

 

[scottflyers88]

not really. then a team that scores in the first couple of seconds of a powerplay would have a better percentage than a team that scores in the last few seconds. if they both go 1 for 4 then 1 team would have a better percentage.

 

[scottflyers88]

and if your team takes a penalty during their powerplay then they are punished even more by having their percentage go down. the only time i would see that you would want that is if the opposing team takes a powerplay and after theirs is over then your team gets a 5 second powerplay or something. i guess it is your teams fault for taking the first penalty to begin with.

I agree jt, at the end, they should divide the pp goals/every two minutes worth of PP time.

 

[scottflyers88]

what about 5 minute majors?

what about 5 minute majors?

I'd count those as separate if I wanted to get an accurate gauge of my PP's effectiveness.

 

[scottflyers88]

if they did goals for every 2 minutes of powerplay time it would be so wrong. if you scored a goal in the first 5 seconds then only the first 5 seconds would count towards the powerplay time. then if you had 2 powerplays and scored in the first 5 seconds of one and did not score on the other you would have 1 goal in 2:05 powerplay time. so it makes it seem like you scored a goal in 1 powerplay and did not have another powerplay. it makes the powerplay seem better than it was.

 

[filosofy29]

Ouch, poor Cleary whiplashed by his own player I believe. Hopefully he's ok.

 

[UTVolCountry]

Dang, he got hit right in the head.

 

[scottflyers88]

and you can not just say well make it 1 goal in 4 minutes of powerplay time because that is what it is now.

 

[UTVolCountry]

Hope he's okay

Rob Blake's knee > Cleary > Your favorite player

...fixed.

 

[Slimpikins]

Sharks need to get the pressure back on Howard and stop chasing in their own zone so much. Detroit has responded great after that first offensive flurry by San Jose.

 

[UTVolCountry]

Wing player just got sliced on the face

 

[quoipourquoi]

Double-whammy for Franzen there.

 

[filosofy29]

Sharks need to score here, may have caught a break there it looked like.

 

[quoipourquoi]

Dive.
