Around SBN: Dissecting Nick Diaz's Positive Drug Test

a more optimistic approach to Cbus




 

 

Huseilous 26  Vermette 28  Nash 38

Filatov 24  Brassard 18 Voracek  22

Moareu 9 Phalsson 4  Umberger 25

Boll 4  Dorsset 6 Clark 14

 

Commodore 3 Russel 6

Hejda 2  Klesla 6

Stralman 8  Tyutin 7

 

Here are my predicted GOAL totals for this up coming season

 

For a combined total of 250 goals. That would put them 6th in the league this year. Not too shabby. Combined that with a predicted  2.8 goals against almost 230 (rounding up) that is a differential of 20 goals for.  ( although that would put them around 19th or 20th this year) with that said I think being in the west hurts them a lot ( a lot tougher teams in the west than the east) so I cant say for sure that Cbus will be a playoff team. But with these statistics ( again predictions) I think cbus will at the very least stay competitive. And perhaps make the playoffs as a 8th-6th seed.

I’m personally betting that Russell and Dorsett will deliver more than 10 goals each, but I’d be more than pleased if the team delivered these numbers.

that seems optimistic, especially because Russ doesn’t have much of a shot to speak of, but this post seems about right to me.

of course, if filatov doesn’t pan out, things take quite a hit.

I have been complimented many times and they always embarrass me; I always feel that they have not said enough.

While Russ doesn’t have a cannon, he has scored over 30 in a season in juniors. His mobility generates shooting opportunities and he’s not afraid to shoot either. I think he’ll average double figures in goals in his prime.

I agree, we’ve seen some pretty good moves from him and he has the speed and the hands…or so it appears.

He may not have a great cannon

but goals are not always scored on hard shots. he has the puck handling skills to be a decent scorer
