Preds bad

This is all that needs to be said.

Nashville’s expected goals against isn’t good, but it’s not worst in the league bad either. Part of this is Saros having a huge workload. Being slightly better than expected over a big workload adds up.

Yes. Schenn should have retired, Lauzon cares more about hitting people than playing defense, Carrier is pretty weak in his zone. Skjei has been hit or miss and Brunette has refused to even play Fabbro for the majority of the year.

Just subjective advanced stats that different people have different criteria for. You’ll be better off not trying to understand the nonsense behind them

It's just a statistical distribution of how often shots from certain locations result in goals. The difference between sites likely depends on factors like puck movement before the shot.

It's not rocket science.

No, but like you already said. All it means is “It means he has 3 wins, 7 losses, and 1 overtime or shootout loss.”

The stats nerds gotta come up with better names for the fancy stuff. What you said makes sense.

Josi is pretty over rated or just old now, not sure which. Defensively not nearly good enough
