This trend is continuing today. Winning on the shot clock, but Rangers dominating in chances and high danger chances.

And yet somehow they’re still averaging within .01 goals per game as Toronto.
They’re not going to score the same way as Toronto because they don’t have the same kind of elite snipers as Toronto. Doesn’t mean what they’re doing isn’t working.

I mean, maybe? But if they don’t have the horses to be high quality finishers they need to do what’s working for them.
They’re 2nd in the conference in GA and near the bottom in GF. It’s absolutely the problem.
Case in point. This defense fucking sucks against any opponent with a decent offense.
The Rangers are going to be 13-4. Goal differential of +5.
That is quite a stat considering the record.

Yes. There’s enough bad teams in this conference that they’ll finish in a playoff spot, maybe even win a round, and do the exact same things I with the exact same shit management that they’ve been doing.
As constructed, they’re going to have to fight tooth and nail. TB and FLA seem to have 2 spots. It’s going to come down to beating out Toronto for the 3rd spot. The 2 WCs probably come from the Metro.
The record is smoke and mirrors. The goaltending they are getting isn't sustainable. They're good but they aren't 13-4 good.
I agree. Their record in one score games is pure luck. Obviously this one isn't a 1 score game right now, but it may as well be. And I was including the two goal lead today in the +5 statistic.
but they won’t, that’s the point. Until ownership figure out that they got the wrong guys to rebuild this team, they’re going to be stuck in mediocrity.
It was 5.5, tho. Unless you're talking about an adjusted line.
Even under 5.5 is a tough beat. Looked like 2-2 and going to OT.
The Bruins have 4 elite players, 4 ok-to-good players, then te
They need to generate more chances to compensate for the lack of finishing. Also, goaltending needs to be better.
They are 13th in GF/60 and 17th in GA/60 at all strengths. They're still pretty good at surpressing chances (5th in SCA/60) but can't generate their own (15th). We're always below average at finishing, and now we don't have the elite goaltending we used to have so even though we still surpress chances well, more are going in.

Zboril has been the Bruins’ third-best defenseman and significantly better than either of Boston’s free-agent signings. The Bruins have 99 problems but Zboril ain’t one.
