Minnesota will be very dangerous come playoff time, this team is clicking and Dubnyk is playing out of his mind. Since January 15th, Minnesota leads the Western Conference with a +47 goal differential! Next closest? Calgary with +14 goal differential. I still wouldn't say the ducks are average they have the most standings points in the NHL and they have been a perennial threat.
TRUE - MIN is HOT! I would NOT want to see them. May be the LAST team I'd want to see in the West, Right now.
But, right now, ANA is not playing the team that has Most Pts...meaning they are not playing that Killer style right now. Its in the numbers....The 15, 20 esp
But even in the overall #'s -- 18th in Goal Diff., 24th PP%, 26th PK%, 21st GAA, 26th Shts Ag, 20th(ish) 5v5 GA....Their Only "OK" stats is Goals For and 5v5 Goals for.
IM Just not used to seeing a TOP TEAM not having TOP TEAM STATS is all I want to point out. Now, stats are not everything and obviously there are Winning. So there is that.
They also have an AMAZING 1 goal game Winning Streak...As I said in the Audio:
They have only 1 Regulation Loss in game decided by 1 goal. CRAZY!
Now, is that a SKILL? I say its luck and will catch up with them in the Playoffs.
