Quick Notes
March 19th, 2008 by MikeQuite busy the last couple days, and I know grier is too, but let me give a couple of thoughts in handy bullet-point form:
- Oilers game was a little too reminiscent of those several games earlier in the year when we had a thousand shots but couldn’t score. Roloson stood on his head, and for that, I give him props. But EDM is second-worst in goals against in the West, only behind L.A. If we can’t score against them, what about against a decent defensive team?
- Speaking of L.A., we couldn’t score a bunch against them either. It got real interesting in that last five minutes, when the Kings threw caution to the wind. The onslaught was turned aside, but I don’t like the trend.
- And speaking of decently defensive teams, you would think we’d be seeing one in the Wild. But you’d be wrong. Minnesota is exactly in the middle of the West in goals against, and 9th of 16 in goals for. They seem to exemplify mediocrity. Hmm, that’s a question for my philosophy blog: is it possible to exemplify mediocrity?
