Some interesting stats

I am not going to blow smoke at you all and tell you that things are great right now. The truth is that we are struggling right now. We have not won since we shut out Quad City 6 to 0 on December 26th. Days off and especially Sundays give me a chance to look at some of our stats. Our streak of 7 non wins is tied with Flint and Quad City for the longest of the year. Not a record that we wanted. During this stretch we have only scored 10 goals. We had 12 in the previous 2 games before this stretch started. Our power play has been a dismal 2 for 27 . Our penalty kill hasn't been much better giving up 9 goals on 29 chances. This is not good considering we have been shorthanded a league high 92 times at home.

Leaders the last seven games:
Goals

Our next 5 games / Overall record against them / record at location
@ Dayton / 4-1 / 2-0
vs Fort Wayne / 2-3-0-1 / 2-1
vs Flint / 2-1 / 2-0
vs Quad City / 5-3-0-1 / 5-0
vs Flint / 2-1 / 0-1

This all looks encouraging! Hopefully we can get back on track.

Things to look forward to this week. Saywer will have a few more movie reviews. Local boy Cole Ruwe will discuss with me his favorites around this area. Send me some emails and let me know what else you want to know.
The team has also come out with a new website. Be sure to check it out.

Did anyone see the Packers / Cardinals game? What an exciting game with lots of scoring. Just how I like football games.
