dlbalr Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 Atlanta Trashers / new Winnipeg Jets Although the Habs' point percentage against that franchise is near the top in that category (.716, 3rd among active teams), the Habs' goals per game against them is in the bottom half of the league.

dlbalr Posted August 25, 2013 Author Share Posted August 25, 2013 Pittsburgh Lots of barn burners with them. A good guess (they average nearly 4 goals per game against them) but they're 4th on the list among active teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMMR Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 A good guess (they average nearly 4 goals per game against them) but they're 4th on the list among active teams. Okay what about the Kings or Sabres? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted August 25, 2013 Author Share Posted August 25, 2013 Okay what about the Kings or Sabres? The Kings are 2nd, Buffalo 19th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted August 26, 2013 Author Share Posted August 26, 2013 I DON'T LIKE THIS GAME ANYMORE BRIAN That's the spirit. It's nice to actually have a question that has people stumped. NY Islanders? They're in a cluster in the middle - 14th at 3.24 goals per game. Hartford/Carolina ? They're 8th (3.62/game) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revvvrob Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 who's left? did someone guess Toronto? if not them, I'll take a shot with Edmonton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seb Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 This was inevitable: Here's the whole damn list by old divisions (cuz my brain hasn't switched over yet): Montreal (obviously) Ottawa Toronto Buffalo Boston NY Islanders NY Rangers New Jersey Philadelphia Pittsburgh Washington Carolina Tampa Bay Florida Winnipeg Vancouver Edmonton Calgary Minnesota Colorado Phoenix Dallas Anaheim Los Angeles San Jose Chicago Nashville St. Louis Columbus Detroit We've been taking stabs in the dark since the beginning. Great question, Brian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted August 26, 2013 Author Share Posted August 26, 2013 who's left? did someone guess Toronto? if not them, I'll take a shot with Edmonton. The Habs have scored more total goals against Toronto than any other team but their goals per game average against them is actually 20th. Edmonton's a bit better, they're 13th.

revvvrob Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 my next guess ... Dallas. my only thought here is that the Minnesota North Stars where pretty bad for a while ... ugh ... with that theory maybe the Devils/Rockies/Scouts could actually be the answer!!!! I'll stay with Dallas ... but totally guessing. love this question! regardless of the answer, I'm shocked at this point! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll stay with Dallas ... but totally guessing. love this question! regardless of the answer, I'm shocked at this point! I like the logic and Dallas (their numbers include the North Stars days) is ranked T-5th among active teams (3.80). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted August 27, 2013 Author Share Posted August 27, 2013 Philly? 16th (3.19/gm) Can't remember any stud goalie in St-Louis. I'll guess the Blues. Tied for 5th (3.80/gm) 7 teams left to guess (I've been updating Seb's list). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revvvrob Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 at this point, there is no pride in solving this question - it's just 'kill me now'! ok - ill go with my earlier hunch - crazy as it would seem with Habs fortunes against Marty and the Devils, but how about those Scouts/Rockies/Devils ... any chance their previous incarnation was soooo bad that Habs have a best goal scoring average against them? The New Jersey Devils Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The New Jersey Devils They're 18th at 3.14 per game (I presume a lot of which was against their previous incarnations). Is it time for a clue? It's not an Eastern Conference team...since all of them have been guessed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seb Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 7 teams left to guess (I've been updating Seb's list). Haha I went to update it and was like "wha... classic Brian." I think it's Anaheim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trizzak Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 If it's not Anaheim, I am going with Minnesota. Why? Because I am sure it is a wrong answer and I want this to last as long as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
