GDT: Around The League 24/25. Preseason ends, the regular season begins!!

[CanadasTeam99]

Cucks going to another OT

 

[CanadasTeam99]

DZebrusk interferes with Bob. Just runs right into him. A Panther gives him 1 punch Refs even it up

TJ, mr pms Miller, wins it

"begin their career in St Louis" is a dubious asterisk considering he didn't even do that

 

[FanOfSadTeam]

Broberg with another point. Of course. why even have prospects

How are posters going to twist this as a bad thing? This is looking like a disaster for the Oilers.

 

[Stoneman89]

Kucherov looking like he’s ready to defend his scoring title. Sublime talent.

 

[Old Boys Club]

1.075 PDO with a sub 45 xGF% and a sub 35 HDCF%. Basically the same as the playoffs, just this early season his goalies been making saves and in the playoffs the Oilers scored every 5th shot with him on the ice.

Small sample size.
I remember one of his SHL seasons. I think his last one, he had a bunch of points to start the season had good ice time and then by the end of the season he was the clear cut #6 and was doing nothing. Points are better than no points but 5 games is just that. 5 games.

Yup, it “looks bad” with the eye test, and even then, two assists were “phantom assists” that had nothing to do with the play.

Of course, even with the advanced stats showing him as a Cinderella player (again), it could continue to be the case in actuality

I imagine he’s getting zoomed as well with the lack of depth on LD, so playing with the best players would help, usually.

The one today was definitely nice though. I’m sick of Broberg to be honest. I’m a fan of the Oilers. Obviously I don’t support players who actively work to leave the team. Same issue I had with Yakupov and Puljujarvi and their many trade requests. Don’t want to wear the sweater of one of the most glorious franchises in the league? OK, f*** you. I hope you play out your career in ignominy in St. Louis. I won’t waste my time posting about this player again.

 

[TheNumber4]

Mcleod with another goal.

They need him to score more than one a game to start winning, it would seem

he was trusted enough to play in OT and delivered...also played 22 minutes

"just 10 games" was said in the playoffs
now it's "just 5 games" this year

obviously won't continue to put up points at this rate but the kid is getting better and better

Buffalo will always be a mess. But Clouder is killing it over there. Phantom assist on another goal too due to his always good backchecking and defensive positioning.

 

[harpoon]

Man Jordan Eberle is on fire to start the year.

 

[oobga]

Nuge for Eberle. Who says no? Lolz

And was still 4th on the team in ice time for defenders.
Yes it was 10 games in the playoffs where he had awful metrics and didn’t actually play all that well.
He is getting all the chances to do well and that’s good for him, but 5 games hell 15 games is an incredibly small sample size. And when in that sample size all the numbers point to him not playing all that well, of course people are going to say there needs to be more of a sample.

the amount of excuses around here to dismiss his play right now is wild, although not surprising
small sample size sure, but if he were doing that here this here...people would be ecstatic

 

[TheNumber4]

Watched a full Blues game the other day. Focused on Broberg. This stat matches the eye test. Matches what we saw in the playoffs from him too.

Looking at the same sample size.
McDavid is barely a third liner, Malkin is the best player in the world, Paul Cotter is going to win the rocket and rookie Lane Hutson is going to play half of every game.
You can look at it and go “he looks good at the moment”. But saying “omg fail Oilerzzzz” is ridiculous.

That he has been pretty damn lucky with pretty much every other metric showing the opposite?

but his fancy stats suck

clearly the Blues goalies try extra hard when he's on the ice to make saves hence the high PDO

I literally said it's a small sample size, doesn't make any less impressive

the cope of "but he fancy stats suck!" is tired and lame....he's playing 19:21, producing points and a +4, that is impressive for a guy who's only gonna get better and better with more experience IMO

Team metrics in a short sample? Nah. Or just watch a game and see that he’s good. You know like how we watched him all playoffs being good?

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Kucherov looking like he’s ready to defend his scoring title. Sublime twat.
