How is this meter even close. We stunk and robbed them tonight .
Just shows how subjective advanced stats are, people cling onto them like they are gospel when they really have no business in hockey.

Boston outplayed Vancouver but it was somewhere in between this and what NST shows.

Lankinen with a pure road steal.

I am not sure why they don't push Lohrei out there even more in games like this. He seems to fit the Monty style which Sacco is still using. For whatever reason Monty was phasing Lohrei out which may have led to some tension.

The Zadorov's, Peeke's, Carlo's and Wotherspoon's of the world are not a great fit for Monty's system. You could argue that getting into more wall battles and trying to pull teams away from the mid ice may be a better play for the Bruins given their size and lack of skill. They normally hope to overload the prime ice for tips, screens and loose pucks. Not a bad thing but there is very little natural finish (the Lindholm chance late has to go in the net).

How in heck are the Canucks 11-6?

Strength of schedule for games played, Vancouver has had it fairly easy which is good considering the injuries they’ve had with Demko, Joshua, Boeser, Pettersson and Miller’s issues outside of hockey.

Not sure how much it takes advanced stats into account but I think it generally struggles to account for “score effect” that is, that a team trailing will tend to generate more shots, and this can be mistaken for that team carrying play.

Good example is a game earlier this year where Washington led CBJ 5-0 12 mins into the game, ultimately winning 7-2, yet CBJ had a 60.3% chance of winning according to the “deserve to win o’meter”

It’s unfortunate because I do find a lot of the other offerings from moneypuck to be pretty spot on
