Damn are the Preds just this bad defensively this year?
This is all that needs to be said.Preds bad
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.
The answer is yes, but was that the desired effect?
No defensively oriented guys in the pipeline?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.
It means he has 3 wins, 7 losses, and 1 overtime or shootout loss.That stat means less than Jack shit to me. What the hell does that even mean?
Gibson but it might be too early for him.No defensively oriented guys in the pipeline?
Just subjective advanced stats that different people have different criteria for. You’ll be better off not trying to understand the nonsense behind themThat stat means less than Jack shit to me. What the hell does that even mean?
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.Just subjective advanced stats that different people have different criteria for.

No, but like you already said. All it means is “It means he has 3 wins, 7 losses, and 1 overtime or shootout loss.”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.
The stats nerds gotta come up with better names for the fancy stuff. What you said makes sense.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.
Lol, Josi has not been the problem, that's like saying Forsberg's washed up.Josi is pretty over rated or just old now, not sure which. Defensively not nearly good enough

Maybe Trotz will shuffle around some guys? Try and form a more defensive type of line or pairing. My thinking is that this rebuild quote is mostly just an empty threat in an attempt to jumpstart his players.Gibson but it might be too early for him.
Another example of how subjectively valuable/invaluable these advanced stats are. Saros is 22nd in SV% and 30th in GAA. With a small amount of context all that says to me is that he's not playing well and also playing on a struggling team.
For the life of me I don't get the value in these "above/below expected" stats and I think using them is not seeing the forest through the trees. Fundamentally they cannot account for the inherent dynamic activity that goes into every single puck possession, shot attempt, shot on net, pass, etc...
What does his 8th place ranking say to people who do like these stats? That he's actually a top 10 goalie playing on a bad team?
"IF HE'S A GOOD HITTER WHY DOESN'T HE HIT GOOD?"
We’re only talking about this season so farSaros has proven in the past that he's clearly an elite goalie.
He's always seemed to be a poor early season goalie, and it feels like it has gotten worse every season. Icing an ECHL caliber defense doesn't help either.We’re only talking about this season so far

Yeah, but when you also add that he's 8th place in goals saved above expected, you could assume that his low SV% is a product of the team allowing more high-danger scoring chances against than average.Saros is 22nd in SV% and 30th in GAA.
