Post-Game Talk: Leafs lose to Minnesota and end January with a whimper

[HockeyVirus]

As I posted last night, Woll is the 8th best goalie in the league for GSAA and he has played less games than most ahead of him. By per gm he is top 5.

People who say Woll sucks (ignoring his playoff last year as well...) simply can't evaluate the sport IMO

Was funny in a not funny way to see OEL try to make a blueline dman to dman pass but it hit marners skate on the way over. What're you doing up here bud?

He was right where he likes to be, nowhere near the net or a danger area

Ok - you are really getting on my nerves. For a couple weeks now. Here are the Caps numbers with empty nets this season.

Please find someone else to bullshit.

Use some real stats.

Ovechkin has 5 empty netters this season, yet the Caps as a team only scored 1? Did he score empty net goals in the KHL while he was injured?

Anyway, the real stats are that the Caps have scored 16 empty net goals so far this season.

It looks to me like he's just got the wrong side - that looks like the stats when the Caps have pulled their goalie.

That was my fault - used the wrong side. Leafs and Caps below. Both have 16 empty netters so Leafs must have pretty good goaltending too, wouldn't you say?

Considering the circumstances in this post my friend, this is what the goalies would call...

A nice save!

Yeah, probably helps to have the health the Caps had versus the Leafs.

Leafs were missing a 13.5M player and currently an 11M player. Team hasn't been healthy all year. They're currently missing 3 of their top 6, nearly half of their forwards throughout the season - but sure, let's look at the cap hits of the injured players and blame them too.

Where do you think the Caps are with their top 2 centres both injured during the season? I assume it would be reasonable to suspect they score less goals and not more?
