Comments on: It’s The Penalty Kill, Stupid http://www.russianmachineneverbreaks.com/2010/03/13/its-the-penalty-kill-stupid/ A cheerfully demented Washington Capitals site with a healthy fixation on Alex Ovechkin and his Russian bros.

It has been higher this season but the PK number on home ice are acceptable.

It is the road PK that is hurting us. It ranks 29th, just ahead of Toronto and is an embarrassing 72.7%. If we can get and hold serve on our home ice, the PK shouldn’t hurt us too much. But if we start dropping games at home or don’t have home ice advantage, we’ll be in trouble.

That’s one of the reasons why we’re hoping we win the President’s Trophy.
