Line Combos: CBJ Roster Discussion/Line Combos/Injury Report

That’s what makes Severson so frustrating. He is for the vast majority of the game quite good. It’s just he’s good for one egregious mistake per game that is so mind-boggling that you wonder if he had a medical episode, and it nearly always results in a goal against at a critical time.

I feel like Severson is one guy where the "big mistake" erases a ton of his good play. He is a very good defenseman 90% of the time it, the problem is he makes mistakes at critical moments not when we are up 3 goals. His mistakes are the kind that cost you spots in the standings not just goals.

At times it does but does it erase all of it to the point that he is a negative player? I keep seeing people post that without evidence.

And lately he's been fine. In the 9 games since he's returned to the lineup he's been on the ice for only two goals against, with the lowest goals against rate on the team. 6 GF 2 GA.
 
Am I understanding this stat correctly if I were to say I wish Kent Johnson was expected to score more goals?

EDIT: Ya know what, I take it back. I just looked up his stats, he has more goals than I thought :laugh:
the stat is finishing above expected, so it's saying that he has scored 7 more goals than what should be expected given the shots he has taken.

the less-fancy way to say this is that he has 14 goals on a 20% shooting percentage, and that the baseline would be half that (10% shooting = 7 goals).
