Awhile back I called Dallas’ penalty kill one of the worst PK units in history. That turned out to be false, but for NHL reasons. It turns out, the NHL isn’t interested in numbers, and doesn’t list any real stats before 1987. Every PK unit is given a 100 percent kill rate, which we know is false. Gary Bettman doesn’t believe fans care about salaries. Perhaps he believes sports fans are arithmophobic in general.
So with the caveat in mind that Dallas is not officially one of the worst PK teams in hockey history, perhaps you’ll rest easy knowing they are merely the 5th worst PK team in in 30 years, and the actual worst in the last 20.
