Last year at this time Jets were in first this year they are last
Lost 10 of the last 11 games
A buddy called me the other day and when we were chatting I said "I'm gonna suggest something I never thought I'd do again.....let's go to a Sabres game."
I mean they will probably crash and burn but whatevs, it's currently fun.
Advanced stat nerds (mostly 72o), how much stock would you put in a line's xGoals % compared to their actual Goals %?I'm thinking specifically of the Habs young line grouping of Kapanen-Slaf-Demigod.Looking at xG% they are awful. 40.7% and the worst Habs line that has played over 50 minutes together. They only produce 2.09 xG per 60, which is atrocious.However, in real output
hockey has by far the most variance of all professional sports - precisely because the nature of goals is that over half of all nhl goals are not the product of setting up a good pass or ripping in an amazing shot but rather the puck takes a fortunate bounce in front of the net
hence why it's so difficult to know if a goalie is great but unlucky or just replacement level but lucky
and as you noted, people and teams who concentrate the puck to the net are going to look better than those who don't
but... there's a very strong correlation between shots on goal and winning games - you can explain away all you want with "they are setting up higher quality shots" but at the end of the day if they are getting outshot then they are probably getting out played
it's far more likely that they are taking less shots because they are getting outplayed than they are taking less shots out of choice
Waves at Hammerhands. 😀
Here we are, looking to hang on to another game.

Well, that was a slobberknocker!
JT Miller/Trocheck over Caulfield/Robertson isn’t good.
Well darn
Vs
How you leave Sam Bennet off that team is bonkers
Are they having NHL referees for the olympics?
Looking that up quickly I learned two things:
1) Wes McCauley will be there and I'm sure he'll do something with all the spotlight
2) Tim Peel reffed the 2014 gold medal game. Really?
oh well, good run Swords
Habs man you know we rollin can't be fakin. Come thru and all the girlies start shakin'.
There it is! All time Leafs goal scorer!
Two- nothing L...no shakin girlies tonight. Back at it with the back to back.
Thought the Leafs had that one that goal by Schaeffer was ridiculous
Jets lose 9 straight
That's more like it. This season is going great. Slav is legit. Fowler showed a lot when called up. Demidov. Kapenen is a solid center...you don't necessarily need a dynamic stud 2c to go far, and this kid has a rocket of a shot, good size, a real keeper regardless of where he ends up line wise.
Hage, 21st pick...kicking ass in ncaa and world jrs. Reinbacher...getting ready. This dude Bryce Pickford....19yr old dman. Might be having the best offensive season in WHL history for a dman. 3rd rounder.
Russian kid Z...2nd rounder 18yrs outscoring what Ivan Demedov did in Russia...all star....these are all steals. Caufied was a previous regime steal. As was Suzuki trade. Hudson mega steal.
Habs scouting and Gorton and Hughes second to none.
I know it's Slaf for most, not all, btw....im more of a Slav guy...point per game since like Dec 1. Moving him to Kapenen and Demidov line...he's showing his full range. Carrying the puck. Driving the play. Marty pullin the right strings.
Monty looking good 2 games since back from Laval.
