Did you know that Patrick Roy’s Islanders have one of the worst power plays in history? Yet this is the case.
Since the start of the season, the Islanders are running at 10.5%. Since power play stats have been counted (1977), it’s in line to be the fifth worst mark in history.
Ouch.
Because the Islanders only have 2.44 chances per game, this means that the club is scoring, on average since the start of the season, one goal in four games in power play.
It’s not enough.
The Islanders, who also have the worst shorthanded rate in the NHL (65.6%), give up several shorthanded goals per week, but conversely, they don’t score when they have the chance.
This may explain the state of the rankings, clearly.
The problem is that at the moment, the power play representatives of the long island is worse than usual. The club is 0-for-25 recently, which has everyone wondering.
The guys want to get out of it and so does the coach. But in front of the media, Patrick Roy does not panic.
We have to trust ourselves and the guys who are in place. –Patrick Roy
Lou Lamoriello, who brought Roy in last year to create a spark, must be wondering what he needs to do to help his team. After all, right now, the Islanders are not #DanceLeMix series.
The Islanders don’t have a big club, they don’t have a bright future… and they haven’t scored on a power play at home since 30 November. Let’s just say that nothing is going well.
