Interesting Stats

Had a bit of spare time and compared the PP/PK stats to this point for last year's two league finalists...

MOB...at Home PP 8.5 per game...PK 12.5 per game, 4 more PK per home game
MOB...on Road PP 5.6 per game...PK 9.8 per game, 4.2 more PK per road game

Kods...at home PP 12.25 per game..PK 9 per game, 3.25 more PP per home game
Kods...on road PP 13.3 per game.....PK 10.3 per game, 3 more PP per road game

Those teams that adapt to the "Rule emphasis " changes will definitely get off to a quicker start.

And no, I'm not even going to suggest that the reason for the difference in PP/PK stats is the "style of defensive play" of the current league champs....I am sure that over time they will be able to successfully adapt their game...right? ;)

Have no doubt that the Defensive game of the MOB will get better. With only 2 Dmen returning from last year and both of those being rookies last year, the MOB defense is struggling. But with us sitting on that big pile of money:) , we will get better, and better.
