BRUINS GDT GAME 39 12:38 PM - THE BEAR doesn't fear Alex Ovechkin - NESN, ESPN+, SN (Except Ontario), 98.5 WBZ-FM

Someone has to explain to me what Carlo brings to the table? The only positive I see is that he has a reach? absolute zero offense, not physical, horrible passer,

Him and Coyle need to go we could really use that 10mil cap space between the two of them.

Just finished watching this. Lol. “Owns Owns”

I get it.

Also saw that the Bruins had 12 high danger chances. Does that mean if the player didn't whiff in that situation it was a high danger chance? That makes sense.

I guess my original thought was that using these stats to say the Bruins outplayed the Caps isn't a strong argument. Maybe in some cases its true. I just never got the sense that the Bruins were getting the better of the play in this case.

Yeah potentially. Although I believe 'high danger' is principally determined based on the position of the shooter. The closer they are to the net, the more likely the chance will be rated 'high', as long as the angle isn't too acute and there are no opposition players in the way.

 

[PlayMakers]

A chance to score is generally considered to be a shot attempt from the high danger areas of the ice: around the net or in the slot. It doesn't have to hit the net but I do believe a shot does need to be attempted in those areas for them to be considered a scoring chance; a player can't just stand there with the puck and pass it off.

" The National Hockey League (NHL) officially defines a scoring chance as “a clear and unobstructed opportunity directly resulting in a goal, missed shot, or blocked shot scored from within home-plate-shaped area in front of the net”. This definition has evolved over the years, with some advanced analytics websites like Natural Stat Trick using slightly different criteria to track scoring chances. "

Hockey is a fast-paced, exciting sport that's beloved by millions of fans around the world. One of the most important aspects of the game is scoring goals,

Yeah, Natural Stat trick has evolved to use things like a shot off a cross ice pass (think a Pasta or OV 1timer) as a scoring chance because of the high percentage of those shots going in. So a shot from outside the house or home plate as they describe it can still be a scoring chance depending on the situation.

This would be the Chiefs' watching the Bruins' power play, losing the initial
face-off, passing backward trying to gain the zone, only to finally cross the blue line and have the puck stripped, passing around the perimeter endlessly, finally getting a decent percentage shot only to miss the net, then having the carom create a 2-on-1 the other way:

6 games with 1 goal
5 games with 0 goals
10 games with 2 goals
so 21 in total with 2 or less

18 games 3 or more

B's

Seriously deficient

anemic

You keep using this line. Doesn’t make freddy sucking any better. He has 5 goals. 2 in one game. He is supposed to be better this year based on last year’s production. Id be ok with his scoring if he would at least give 100% every game. He floats a lot. Doesn’t fight. Not very physical. He is likely gone soon.

I think it would be way better for us if he pulls his head out of his butt and plays like last year. Hard to believe there have not been multiple wtf conversations with the coach.

Isn't he second on the team with hits? The rest of the forwards have half as many.

Again the hate for this kid is amazing,

Who on this team gives 100% every game lol

The entire team dosent fight lol

He floats .. give me a brake.

You have forwards that make 2-3-4-5 times more than Freddy doing shit

I hope he is gone soon less garbage posts to read through.

Why? Because there is a line in front of him to the coaches door.

The line of guys whose performance has inexplicably tanked so badly is shorter than the guys who have not achieved at all. If last year was his contract year, it would make more sense. I bear him no ill will. I really would like him to stay and recover.
