Rough week for the Wings


The Redwings need to get back to hockey town. After a weeklong road trip and three losses, the Wings desperatly need to go back to the Joe. Detroit moved their record to 15-4-2 with losses to Vancouver (L 4-1), Calgary (L 3-1), and Edmonton (L 6-5).

Manny Legace gave up 4 goals on 26 shots in a Nov 13th loss to Vancouver and gave up 3 goals on 28 shots in a Nov 16th loss to Calgary. Chris Osgood then stepped in and gave up 6 goals on 28 in a Nov 17th Overtime loss to Edmonton.

Even though the Wings goal-tending duo gave up 13 goals in 3 games, their offense sputtered and could only must 7 goals on 85 shots for a shooting precentage of .082%.

I know what you are thinking, isnt shooting % only for Basketball? Nope, not here in Totter's World. After attending a few Bruins games and watching what little hockey OLN actaully shows, I think this is a very valid stat. Take the Bruins for instance, during the game vs. the Sens. I attended the Bruins out-shot the Sens 17-5 in the 1st period, but remianed tied at 1-1. This would give Boston a shooting % of .058%, but the Sens recieved a shooting % of .200%.
For the game, the Bruins received a S% (shooting percentage) of .051% and the Sens looked much better here with a S% of .166%. So as you can see by this stat, the Sens had quality shots and really controlled the game through-out.

For the season, Detroit has an average S% of .116% with an average of 3.17 goals per game and and an average of 31.7 shots per game.
Here is what the rest of the league has as an Average S% per game.
As you can see the AS% (Average Shot Percentage) can be, for the majority, tracked back to the teams overall Points.
