Igor Orlov's 14 shots, a 6s career high, sink Big Kahuna Burger again

Igor Orlov scored three goals in a 5-1 win over Big Kahuna Burger. His 14 shots set a career high in 6s. His 6s average as a forward is 5.9. He added an assist, and Silky and Beev scored the other two. The win moves the record to 73-18-9. The one problem left is the power play.

Start with the shooting. The Boogeymen took 29 shots, an unusually high count, and allowed 15. The club's 6s norm is 18.7 shots for and 12.9 against, so the extra came at the attacking end. Time on attack was 677 seconds. The club also out-hit Big Kahuna Burger 25-17, the 3rd game in a row with the hit edge. Silky and Joey Flopfish threw 10 hits each, both big for them. For a defenceman with a 6s average of 2.4 hits, that count stands out.

At the other end, Jonas Wagner stopped 14 of 15 shots. His 93.3% was a steal in net. Put that next to 29 shots at the other end and a 5-1 score follows. Big Kahuna Burger had already lost the previous meeting 5-2, on May 22.

Now the gap. The club went 0 for 1 on the power play here. That makes 7 chances over 4 games without a power-play goal. None of the 5 goals came on the power play, and the club's 6s power-play rate sits at 21.9%.

That is why the next game matters. The shot count and the attack time both point the right way. The power play is the one number that has stopped producing, and it is the first one to check when the Boogeymen play again.
