lol I just want to piss off that oilers fan on the mainboards again.

 

[LuGBuG]

This would be an incredible win tonight.

why is the rubber duck in vancouver 2011?

 

[DucksFanDFW]

Not expecting to be happy after this one. Hope they can prove me wrong.

If we can getting some lucky bounces and not take penalties somehow. Be the all time shocking back to back wins in like a decade

...and for the Oil to not take any penalties either.

that's right, you're correct. i learn in elementary school that not getting big expectations is the key to be satisfied even with poor results

Last night’s stat card…

@anezthes you can't be doing Zelly like this.

Last night’s stat card…

Weird how bad lacombe and helle look. Eye test they werent neg players

First goal was 100% LaCombes fault. I have no idea why he decided to go defend a player already covered and leave Connor wide open.

Other than that I thought he was good.

Helleson had an ill advised pinch on their second goal that left Minty out to dry.

I’m guessing those plays are why their cards look like they do, but I’ll admit I don’t fully understand how they’re calculated.

 

[MCB]

I'm not saying I'm superstitious.... But I'll be starting the game delayed again.... Because of reasons.

 

[NWWisconsinDuck]

I’ll be thrilled with a point. Blown away by 2. Just hoping for a solid effort regardless. Been a fun little stretch!

 

[duckaroosky]

Is Killorn the Goomba?!?!? It's perfect. 10/10, no notes!

That 3rd line is perfect lol

I feel like those cards arnt exactly well done…. Don’t generally read to far into them

They are okay, but I don’t think they generally tell full story

The only time this phrase will be uttered and be true.

The stat cards site shows the raw data they're based on. (I can't figure out how to link directly to a specific game, but it's pretty easy to navigate.) It's almost all on-ice metrics as opposed to individual play.

They take both expected and actual goals into account. Helleson had a pretty decent xGA (0.46) but was on the ice for two actual GA, so he gets dinged pretty badly on defense. LaCombe was only on for one GA but his xGA was much worse (1.16) so he also gets dinged pretty badly on defense.
As to how it weights real versus expected, or what weighting is causing the actual GF/GA not to be displayed in whole numbers...

Yeah they basically have the same strengths and flaws as any other fancy stats graphic, though maybe with a more opaque methodology.

IMO they're decent for measuring line/pairing performance and almost useless for individual performance. You'll get a bit of variation from partial changes and special teams, but the biggest individual variance is usually goals and assists. That's... probably not a thing that needs a fancy stat chart to help anyone judge it.

 

[McDonald19]

Man, some of these are spot on. McTavish = Jon Snow, Terry = Anakin Skywalker.

Poor Killorn and Zells, haha.

Also, is Leason Pee-wee Herman?

 

[FiveHoleTickler]

Goomba!

Wonder if we see Nesterenko make his debut tonight.

Feel like Sam steel should always be terrys picture

@anezthes you can't be doing Zelly like this.

I'll admit, it felt dirty. But it was either that or Renée. I'll make it up to him next game!

'Twas the only one I knew for sure!

Also, is Leason Pee-wee Herman?

Yeah... some—most—of these are pretty terrible. Sometimes you gotta bend the rules "a bit."

Damn, forgot about that. Would've indeed been the better choice.

 

[Frosted Tips]

Worry not my duck friends. I will be skipping this game as well. See you all at the victory celebrations post game!
