Kiefer Sherwood on pace for over 500 hits this season

[olli]

Nashville should’ve stayed the course and kept him instead of signing Stamkos and Marchessault. Not offering him what Van ended up giving in a higher tax province is ridiculous. Barry Trotz is in over his head and should’ve never became gm. Congratulations to Vancouver for having competent management after almost a decade of Benning idiocy. Now it’s Nashvilles turn and it’s not looking pretty unless they properly commit to a rebuild.

42 point pace contradicts this, but doesn’t this mean the other team has the puck a lot when he’s on the ice?

Ya I notice that a lot in games … I’m always curious what they consider a hit… I’ve seen many many games where I literally see a player do 2 decent size hits in a shift and it doesn’t get counted for some reason. I’m in a hockey pool that includes hits so I notice these things during games lol

Technically, a hit is registered if the result of the body contact is the puck carrier losing possession of the puck.

I would be curious of difference, if there is, of home and away.

There is a literal definition for what is considered a hit. I know you seem to think Home teams can be biased but that is just not possible anymore.

I can't say too much more but NHL teams can't be biased any more.

Not really. He has a 53% CF% at 5v5. But the Canucks aren’t much of a possession team unless Hughes is on the ice, because the rest of the defense struggles to move the puck. So there’s a lot of back and forth possession. Tocchet also likes to dump and chase so Sherwood’s been a big factor on the forecheck.

That’s some kinda pace

Definitely not a medium pace.

Anytime I watch the Canucks this guy stands out.
Give it 110%
