So, what do you guys think of Lavoilette? Would he fit if Rolston isn't the right guy for the rebuild? I like Rolston but the fact that he thought they played well 5 on 5 in the first game, made me crinch.
Because they did play well 5-on-5 in the first game.
Detroit had better possession, but the chances were there all night long.
Buffalo was out-shot 34-13 5-on-5 (total shots, not shots on goal) in the first game. They were fucking hideous 5-on-5.
Shots do not determine play.
I was watching that game, the team was in decent position for that game.
But back to Lavvy. Guy has a bad team anyways, their front office is horriblw and should be fired, he probably should have been given the rest of the season or at least until November or December.
Since when do shots not determine play? The teams that take more shots than other teams are usually the ones that possess the puck more than the other team, and those teams are almost always at the top of the standings, and are always in the playoffs. Those are the teams winning Cups. Yeah, there are outliers (Chicago losing to Tampa yesterday after nearly out-shooting the Lightning by almost triple), but more often than not, those are your teams winning championships.
