      With Duggan, Bjorkvist, Wilkins, Conway, Duhaime, and half the defense core having decent scoring years, this is almost statistically impossible. Yet... here we are.

        PC is second in the conference in goals scored per game with 3.17 while first in the conference goals against at 2.06. You would think they would be better but haven't been at all. These are CONFERENCE PLAY ONLY NUMBERS

        For the entire season, PC is in the same spots in the conference scoring 3.13 goals a game and 2.00 goals against.

        PC is also the lowest in the conference in penalty minutes taken during conference play with 9.8 per game.

          From what I saw PC missed the net a lot. Tends to ring up out of the zone in a hurry when the D are pinching. Sometimes a speedy guy gets by and turns into a shorty or odd man rushes. Imagine gripping the stick less tight and focusing on point shots two inches off the ice from point men low 5 hole would fix things... that is, if forwards can drive net front with stick down.

                "Gripping your stick" is probably exactly what's going on with 4 goals in four games. I can't imagine how we get out of this, but that's why we pay Nate.

                Usually this happens in the playoffs - except in 2015, of course.

                  It is the system Nate runs...throw a ton of pucks at the net and hope it deflects of a skate or stick and maybe you get a rebound for an easy goal. It does NOT work consistently thus the reason PC has struggled in the postseason against good teams.

                          That’s the entire offensive output of two weeks in two periods.

                            ****ed off Friars is a good thing. With their recent history that usually lasts for a game or two, or the night. Much needed but that makes me nervous about them regressing tomorrow night.

                                Let’s see what happens tonight. UML will probably play like their hair is on fire at the start.

                                The one good thing about how disappointing this season could be is that the basketball team is worse. Woof.
