Works for the daily news. He broke some things in the offseason, so he isn't some blogger.

I definitely think of Colorado and Carolina when I watch Anaheim play.

Would it be too ironic if I brought attention to "low hanging frust"?

Just caught up with the Cronin talk. It passes the sniff test since we have seen the players look checked out all year.

Sack him and give someone else the rest of the year to prove they are the guy because Cronin isnt.

Wishcasting that Verbeek wants to establish a defensive mindset first, then take the shackles off of the skill guys. Not confident in that wish. Also think the GA/G has been largely driven by excellent goaltending.

Ducks are last in the league in shots against/game at 34.1, so this seems like a fair assumption.

Last season was 32.5.

We were actually up around 37-38 this season for a bit, too.

And two days ago or whatever it was, people on this thread were talking about Whitney and the boys as if, it was evidence, it wouldn’t hold up in court, but probably true…. It was confirmation bias, and knoll’s says some barely even positive remarks about Cronin ….. in response to the splitting chicklets podcast most likely. And you immediately point out how it’s in his professional interest to instead of doing his job and reporting the facts, it is to paint the coach in a positive manner in order to gain access. Which then in theory turns all media people into (which most are) untrustworthy mouthpieces for some ulterior motive.

I really don’t even care all that much, just pointing out the logical fallacy in your statement about why knoll’s should be taken with a grain of salt, while you didn’t do the same for the VERY negative story said by guys, of whom ZERO said they had firsthand insider knowledge…. (Even though you said you believed it was said from players presently in the locker room, and current). Really like I said I don’t really care even if these 8 paragraphs say differently….. just wanted to let you know I think you used confirmation bias to believe what you wanted and poke holes in something I could best describe as not totally negative.

Do you really think Chiclets is going to use a story about the Ducks to generate clicks? Nobody gives a shit about the Ducks

Yeah... it looks ugly. The median SA/game = 28.9. The Ducks have allowed 29 SA/game 15 out of 18 games.

Record: 8-8-2 (18 pts), 0.500 Pts %
GF/game = 2.56 goals for
GA/game = 3.00 goals allowed
GD/game = -0.44 goals
SA/game = 34.1 shots against

---

SA/game in the first 18 games last year was 32.7 shots against per game. Here is the chart for the first 18 games. We allowed over 40 Shots Against once in the first 18 games.

Record: 9-9-0 (18 pts), 0.500 Pts %
GF/game = 2.83 goals for
GA/game = 3.11 goals allowed
GD/game = -0.28 goals
SA/game = 32.7 shots against

---

We're scoring less and allowing more shots this year than last year. Yep, we're relying a lot on our netminders for points.

Do you have stats for “high danger shots” or whatever the metric is called?

 

[KaseMeOutside]

I'm certain we won't get a response either way, but if the Chiclets rumors are false or outdated then I wish Pat would at least acknowledge and shoot them down.

I'm also pretty certain we won't get Montgomery, which is a shame because I think he could be a great fit. His experience as a successful college coach seems especially apt considering how many of our most important players are college-aged or near it.

The players should be the ones shooting them down if they aren't true, and so far I haven't seen that

High Danger shot metrics can be found on both Natural Stat Trick and Hockey-Reference.

For Natural Stat Trick, in the team "season stats", just scroll to the left to find HDCF (high danger chances for), HDCA (chances against), etc...

For Hockey-Reference, you should be on the summary page and scroll down to "Team Analytics 5-on-5", under the "Scoring Chances" tab, and you'll find the HD metrics.

I wouldn't have last year's HD stats at after 18 games b/c I didn't record them on excel.
