Do you lot remember in the first period when de Haan found himself on the ice with the legendary first line and looked like he didn't belong in the same realm as them? That shift reminded me of this lol...
You misunderstand what it means. Expected goals isn't supposed to match with the result. It's simply what's expected on average.And this why I always question advanced stats. The Avs had and expected goals for, of about 2? That's a load of shit.
The only goal we didn't earn was the 2nd one gifted to Colton. LOC on breakaway, Rants goes bar down with laser shot, Kelly goes post and in maybe Gus wants that back still a pretty solid shot, Lehk on a 2 on 1 after perfect pass, 29 fired a laser another one maybe Gus wants back but wasn't a shit goal either.
So I don't see any way we should have been less than maybe 3.5, 1.9 is a joke.
Yup lol. It was hilarious because Makar and Mackinnon both saw him and hesitated to pass it, but then Makar wanted to be the nice guy and decided anyway. It was also funny as hell because everyone was just skating circles around and he just stood there with the rest of the Wild players.Was that the shift where they were whipping the puck around creating chances and then it came to him and he just YOLOd a shot into a defenders shin pads for it to clear the zone?

That stickhandling in a phone booth move in the 2nd (?) was silly.I thought Mittelstadt had a much better game tonight. Noticeably much better handling the puck and better on board battles.
It's his skating that he seems to have issues with. It's almost as if he has a severe groin pull on both sides and just keeps reaggravating it when he plays.
Holy shit, good job Middleton. You da real MVP
