Michael Smokovich Provisional Member Posted Thursday at 07:31 PM Share Posted Thursday at 07:31 PM I expect Bill and the whole team we’ll make this next seasons a lot better in the end we definitely will win more than one series in the playoffs this next year and the wild would surprise me to make it to the Stanley Cup finals next year all depends on they’re overall health Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imyourhuckleberry Verified Member Posted Thursday at 08:46 PM Share Posted Thursday at 08:46 PM 2 hours ago, raithis said: In face-off wins, not win percent Of all players with 100+ faceoffs attempted this season, Brock Nelson ranked 66th in faceoff%. He's a few percentage points ahead of the best the Wild have currently, but it seems like many teams have a couple of guys who are slightly better, and some are significantly better. Dallas actually had at least 6 players with a higher win% on at least 100 faceoffs attempted this last regular season. Claude Giroux(Ottawa) led the league at 61.5% on high volume. There are 16 NHL players who exceeded 1000 faceoffs and exceeded a 55% win percentage. At the 1000 faceoff cutoff, Brock Nelson came in 29th. At a 500 faceoff attempt filter threshold, he ranked 50th. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnfaninnc Verified Member Posted yesterday at 03:31 PM Share Posted yesterday at 03:31 PM I thought Shooter had already reeled Nelson in. I was kind of shocked to see the Avs go in this direction, but, maybe their signing can lead to a Martin Necas coming our way? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
