Do the fancy stats say we are going to get blown out?
Do the fancy stats say we are going to get blown out?
A few reasons. Quite often when we get control in our end our entire team leaves the zone and we end up turning it over at our blue line. Another thing we are bad for is when the opposing dman stands up at the blue line instead if getting the puck deep our forwards try to make a move at the offensive blue line and end up turning it over. Our dmen get caught pinching once in awhile too.
We don't turtle when we have a lead. We have some players that tend to turn the puck over when there is a lot of pressure. Sometimes I wish we did turtle. Just keep 5 guys back and ice the puck.
Also, Grubauer > Holtby.
Hmmm....no Pens goaltenders on there?
Murray would be third from the bottom with -11.42.
Thanks. The fact that MAF is significantly above average makes me think the Pens dumped the wrong goaltender. Somehow, that wretched franchise will make it work, though.
Defense obviously isn't our strong point. Hopefully we tighten up in the playoffs.It was a rhetorical question. A team that's hunkering down on defense as part of their overall team philosophy should not be 2nd worst in the league in giving up odd man rushes.
This thread was started during a phase of endless page-long stats discussions. We haven't had as many in recent years. But since they're back, it's appropriate to resurrect this thread. FWIW, it has been mentioned several times recently during this agonizing phase of charts and graphs.I just noticed that this thread hasn't been dusted off since right before we won a Cup.

I think it's interesting it's been dormant since the Cup run for a different reason. Almost as if the hyperfocus on minutia faded in significance once the Cup made the stat gazing moot, until a few years of disappointment turned penetrating eyes inward again...
Or maybe we've sucked since the Cup because we haven't fed the analytics gods lol..

I think the dormancy is mostly related to the caps board keeping things simple with our barebones GDTs and the general thread for everything else.I think it's interesting it's been dormant since the Cup run for a different reason.

the fancy stats and everything else always finds its way back to the general discussion. We have our ways around here
