I was just wondering what Erik Cole has to do to score a goal. In his last three games, he has fired 25 shots at the enemy net, including 10 so far tonight against the Panthers, without scoring once.

At the other end of the spectrum, Jiri Hudler has taken only 11 shots on goal in the Red Wings' last six games, and has scored four goals.

Sooner or later this will even out, but it just goes to show you that in the short term, hockey is a funny game.

That is why we at Rotoworld usually preach patience and discourage rash roster moves involving proven veterans and untested rookies.
