The NHL Thread
For the 5 of us who post NHL stuff, here you go. Officially the season starts Tuesday October 11, although there were tw
rant time and I don't care if I sound logical right now:
vegas toothless knights confirmed and they need to get rid of at least half of this aging WIL roster going into next season any way possible. I don't care about salary cap rules. hertl the turtle is the first to go.
bruce cassidy should still be the coach btw....he's still good but he can't score goals for these losers....
yeah prob not logical, but who's logical when their team gets knocked out?
5v5 adjusted xg numbers:
(regular season / playoffs)
saad 63% / 55%
dorofeyev 57% / 55%
hertl 57% / 59%
korczak 56% / 26%*
karlsson 56% / 51%
smith 56% / 43%
olofsson 56% / 44%
mcnabb 55% / 50%
hanifin 55% / 44%
stone 54% / 52%
eichel 54% / 50%
barbashev 53% / 47%
theodore 53% / 56%
pietrangelo 53% / 44%
whitecloud 52% / 51%
kolesar 52% / 52%
howden 51% / 35%
roy 51% / 54%
schwindt 50% / 52%
hague 48% / 48%
pearson 47% / 45%
* only played 1 playoff game
looks like hertl was actually one of the better players, regular season and playoffs ... by xg, anyway. saad was also really effective? crazy. biggest dropoffs were from smith, olofsson, hanifin, pietrangelo and howden. was korczak injured? played effectively during the season, then just 1 playoff game.
hard to know what to make of it all. there were 8 teams over 54% xg during the season, and vgk were one of them (6th, behind jets, kings, lightning, leafs and capitals, ahead of blues and stars), but they got beat diwn by the loilers, who were actually pretty bad this season. maybe it means nothing because something something sample size, idk
Oilers may be the only CDN team left
Aiden Hill almost stole it
Leafs looked so bad and let’s not blame Mitch Marner , Mathew’s has had a bad series

Hammerhands and I get to hang out with 702guy I guess now or maybe since no more hockey for us maybe.
LOL WHAT! Not all Marner but the guy thinks last night was the only night they played badly, LOL.
Getting shutout in back to back games against the Oilers and Skinner of all goalies is embarrassing (and hilarious)
Let's close this **** out. Chatfield out and Nikishin making his NHL debut.
Hell yes!
This series sucks. Please just end it.
announcer seems to disagree, but i'm almost certain that puck ramped up the dman's stick. he's blaming thompson, but not much you can do if a shot gets deflected from like 2 feet out
Yes, please end it.
That's annoying.
no stank on that one
Man sucks missing that wide open net.
Need to find some urgency.
Freddyyyyy
Off, hell yeah
