I would argue our problem is we can't consistently score. You're not going to win many hockey games when you only score one goal. We tend to make opposing net-minders look like Richter Award contenders. It is hard to blame anyone because we generated 36 shots and a lot of those were scoring chances. By the metrics, the system appears to be putting players in a position to score, we just aren't scoring. What is Joe's metric for an acceptable goalie, 1 goal on 8 scoring chances? If we assume half of the shots on goal were scoring chances (18) and we use the one out of 8 for a good goalie, we should have at least 2 goals. We are missing a consistent goal score/line who can will a puck into the net when needed. When we have had our best success when we had that kind of line. Unfortunately they don't come around every year.
