Laine blows a goal THROUGH Seider's stick

[The Cannon of Tesoma]

I don't know is it right time to go too deep in Laine/Ovi comparisons, but it is fair comparison especially for their PP presence and shooting. IMO, best comparison available. That is natural as Laine himself was Ovi fan in his youth and studied Ovi's shooting when developing his own. Laine's one timers and wristers from the office do not shade shame over his Idol's and forerunner's shots.

I think Laine is a bit more picky with his shots than Ovi, more selective.

Laine has now played 9 games and currently sits 2nd in the league for power play goals.

This was sick. Good for Laine too rooting for the guy.

It is. Sample is small but here are some current basic PP shooting statistics for Patty this season:

9 games
8 goals
32 total shot attempts (TSA)
____23 shots on goal (SOG)
_____4 blocks against (BA)
_____5 missed PP shots (MISS)

34.78% PP Shooting percentage (PP G/SOG)
71.88% PP Shots Through Percentage (PP SThr% = PP SOG/TSA)

...

These are insane numbers, and hardly sustainable over longer time periods, but this is as lethal and as accurate as PP shooting stats can reasonably be. This is as "Sniper" and "PP specialist" and "Pure Goal scorer" (in this context) as it reasonably can be.

For every 10 shots made over 7 are shots on goal.
For more than every third of shots on goal he makes the result is a scored goal.
His "Real PP Shooting%" is 25% (8G/32TSA), every fourth shot results a scored goal.

His PP Time on ice is 31.6 minutes and PPG/60 is 15.2, meaning that when he is playing PP, on average he scores a goal every 3.95 power play minutes.

Considering where those scoring shots are typically made, these numbers show that Patrik is as "Sniper" and "PP specialist" and "Pure Goal scorer" (in this context) as a hockey player reasonably can be in the modern times.

Ridiculous stuff.

The force that it blasted that stick for it to go flying like that is actually insane.

No it really isn’t. Have you ever watched a slo mo of a puck ringing off the goal post? It moves.

“Blasting” through a composite stick that breaks with a light slash is not really insane.

You grossly underestimate the force that a frozen hunk of rubber going 90+ mph carries.

14.6% superior is not easily ?

If you say so, but you'll be alone on that island.

If your nuanced counter to my vague “I don’t know that I’d consider” wording consists of “yuh-huh,” then what exactly are we doing here? So I’ll counter with “nuh-uh,” and leave it at that.

Or would you prefer to elaborate on how 1.9 percentage points makes one player “easily” more accurate than the other, aside from just converting percentage points into percentage difference?
