Around the League 46: Sharks Finally Yank A Win Out Of Their Cloaca

[Joe McGrath]

We would have one very talented star.

An MVP even.

The fact the Slavin has the 4th fastest recorded time this year is a little surprising. I never thought he was slow, as a matter of fact I know he can skate, just didn't know he was that fast.

Had to be that back check a couple of weeks ago where about a dozen of us couldn’t figure out where the hell he even came from.

I'm in process of compiling info on 9 other players beyond Aho, Svetch and PK (7 current and 2 on different squads this year).

Slavin top end speed has consistently been 72 percentile or higher over the last 4 years with speed bursts percentile well above that. NHL EDGE has some great data and worth a deep dive if you have time (lol, which I do)

Is there a way to break down speed backwards v forward? I would bet Slavin's right at the top on speed skating backward.

No, they don’t show that stat.

I guess that requires eyeballs on the game to match forwards/backwards with the speed data, and stuff where people have to watch typically costs money, and a lot of it. Betcha we're tracking that internally, though.

Jackets win in Pittsburgh. First win there since November 2015

If Trouba was a Flames player, this would be the play of the year lol.

Not surprised about them disliking the "deferred salary" thing and that it's going to be a part of the next CBA discussions. The pre-playoff LTIR abuse needs to be addressed as well. It's amazing how many players are ready EXACTLY on the day playoffs start.
