We are 28th in the league in Faceoff percentage with a 42.8% of winning right now.

We've won 74 faceoffs and lost 99, so in the three games we have taken 173 faceoffs.

This is an average of real close to 30 a game, and we are only winning roughly 12 of them.

I've seen the first face-off man getting thrown out a lot. Since it's a penalty to get tossed from the dot twice in a row, the second man doesn't compete very hard. That's why the % is so low.

I think your math is off, but your ratios are close.
173 faceoffs divided by 3 games is almost 60 a game, not 30 and 74 divided by 3 is over 20 a game, not 12

Hahaha, my bad. I honestly have no idea what I was thinking when I did that, normally I don't make those simple mistakes like that in real easy math.

Good thing you caught it since I somehow overlooked it. Thanks.

153 shots in four games. I've never seen numbers like that. Maybe the old Gretzky/Messier/Coffey/Kurri era Oilers? Nothing in my time watching hockey.

for as great as the 38 shots per game are. its meaningless unless a few of those find the back of the net, which until this past game, seemed to be hard to come by.

Keep shooting and good things happen.

Like Gretzky said, 100% of the shots you don't take, never go in.
