GDT: Hawks @ Bruins, 10 April 2025, 6 PM CT

I honestly don’t know what to make of these things anymore. I either don’t know how to watch hockey or there’s flaws in how they’re calculated.
from what i've gathered, the green is individual counting stats (scaled such that shots count less than assists, and assists less than goals, but not sure about the actual ratios), the burgundy is shots and goals against, the teal is on-ice offensive events for relative to team average, and the purple is on-ice offensive events against relative to average (not sure if this means possession, shots, quality shots, all of these, or what). then they take all of these disperate statistical elements, throw them in some kind of nondescript algorithmic blender, and the output it spits out is called "game score", which is represented by the tiny circles inside of the bars.

i never understood why these things get so much traffic around here. i've never taken them very seriously.
 
Too busy w tax season down to the deadline to watch but looking at box score it is nice to see Korchinski get his first and Donato get his 30th! Nice job guys! Next I want to see Nazar get his 10th now.

They don’t measure context very well at all and you need that to evaluate hockey players. I only liked them when it showed Jones, Murphy, or Brodie having terrible games lol
 
Of concern..Hawks win 6-2 but get badly out'-shpt.. thex3 young "stars" (Bedard Nazar and Moore...all of hyped fMe) muster only 3 shog combined!!!!

Tsk..Tsk../Not very encouraging..
