Everyone knows lack of scoring is crippling the canes.

Yes we should score more. I think if we score more than the other teams, we will win more games.

I’ve heard him say before that he thinks the system needs a shakeup to get more from the players we do have, and it is an interesting line of thought.
I do think we could probably focus on carrying the puck into the zone more, since it seems the analytics favor carrying the puck creates a lot more high danger chances. I do think that’s a shift we could make, and leave everything else intact, and be okay. I’m not sure constantly chasing pucks really tires out defenses more than usual, and especially not in the playoffs.
But the other side is what we really lack is finish. We create chances all day every day, we are routinely near the top of the league in expected goals and high danger chances. We’re just bottom 5 in finish. Which says to me we don’t actually need to change anything about the system. But then the caveat is that this has been true for years now, and if the pucks aren’t going in the net, the stats are meaningless.
It’s a strange spot to be in. At this point, it’s not just luck. It’s a 5+ year trend. How do we fix it? We’re right there, this can be a team which could win multiple cups over the next 5-10 years if they can figure out how to score, when it matters, against hot goalies and fantastic defenses.

I do believe if we score more than the other team, we win…right?
So yes. More scoring without dismantling our league leading defense please. Work your magic, Don. That’s why you get paid the big….oh wait. I forgot who our owner was for a second. Ok, Don… this is why you get paid medium bucks.

Scoring in general, size for the playoffs.

Why does everyone think we need more scoring? We won the metro. Now if we had some bite to our game and could throw a big hit now and then…other teams would take notice and our scorers wouldn’t be pummeled after every whistle. Actually before the whistle and after. We looked like punching bags. 0-12 conference, and if any of you watched Vegas and Florida….Florida ran into a bigger team that wasn’t intimidated, and it showed big time.
