Post-Game Talk: Oilers win the battle but lose the war against their arch nemesis…

[McAsuno]

5 large is crazy

That will clearly teach him not to do it again!
NHL's DOPS is such a crock of shit lmao.
Kempe makes 5.5M annually, but that 5k will surely hurt him.
George Parros, f*** off.

 

[PositiveCashFlow]

LA has it down to a science. They will just rotate the next guy to do the slewfooting. Nothing to see here from the leagues standpoint.

What is that, like $50 for most people?

 

[BlackDogg]

McDavid got lucky twice on the same night

Did his wife hit the post as well?

That's about $90.00 to a person making $100,000 a year..

They need to fix those fines

 

[BlackDogg]

Parros is likely jealous that he's basically a broomball player as compared to McDavid as far as skating goes.

Hate parros but this is a negotiated amount with the union, he can’t do more.

5K fine to slew foot Makar/MacKinnon/Stone/Eichel in the playoffs, noted.

If that were only true. Gary's wet dream would be to suspend McDavid if he even got near any of his darlings.

 

[brentashton]

Unless he chooses to suspend him. No where does it say that a slew foot is a 5k fine. It’s all judgemental.

 

[TB12]

Parros is a f***ing idiot. I have said this many, many times but it needs repeating once again. f***ing clown.

The 5K fine is a joke, how do 4 refs miss that call entirely.

They didnt "miss" the call.

They ignored it.

It was 1-0 game in which they were trailing.

 

[Senor Catface]

Something like that happens almost every game

Wow, so weird. He got a fine for something that happens every game.

 

[CrazyJoeDavola]

If that were only true. Gary's wet dream would be to suspend McDavid if he even got near any of his darlings.

Yup. He wants Oilers failure as it increases the chances of McD leaving for greener pastures down south.

Think of all of the league sabotage against us:

Chiarelli draft picks
Keith retirement cap hit sabotage

I can't wait until they somehow sabotage our ltir cap plans. They've already announced that there will be an investigation lol

 

[McTedi]

Yah sometimes when guys are challenging for a puck and engaged in a battle. This wasn't that, Kempe came in after the puck had left just to take a dirty run at McD. It's a dirt bag play and can easily turn into an injury, they really need to start suspending guys for it.

Just some additional research to add to what I think is implicitly true analyzing the 2 on 1 on Stu last night:

This article also denotes that Pass Location and East-West One timers are not considered in these XGF models:

"So when new data, new shot information, becomes available from NHL they run it through the code and show you xG value, but it will be only about 80% accurate prediction, in addition to all inaccuracies of shot registration by NHL, to tell how probable was that shot to become a goal.

For example, when the model says shot had 2% or 0.02 xG value in reality chances were somewhere between 1.6% and 2.4% and it was still possible that shot will go in on any given shot like that.

Another example, let’s say shot was in close and the model shows 40% chance of scoring, 0.40 xG value. In reality it was somewhere between 32% and 48% chance but model can’t say exact because it’s missing information/attributes/features like: was the goalie screened, was it cross crease pass for “back door one timer” or where goalie or opposition player were located. At the same time commercial (non-public) models will have some of those additional features and will narrow the range saying that this shot had between 34% and 46% chance to become a goal."

Here's another article:

"Perhaps the biggest gap is pre-shot movement. We know that passes before a shot affect the quality of the scoring chance, but the pbp data does not include them."

Expected Goals Model with Pre-Shot Movement, Part 1: The Model

There are few questions in hockey analytics more fundamental than who played well. Consequently, a large portion of hockey analysis has been focused on how to best measure results. This work is som…

Wow... I CANNOT believe that something as fundamental as East-West pass (distance, speed) to a one-timer is not factored in to xG models.

That's absolute hogwash.

I'm all for advanced stats, but this just shows how much they are in their infancy when it comes to goaltending.

Eye-test and error assessment for me. Goalies (just like players) make plenty of errors per night, if you can't see an error on a given goal, you gotta give the benefit of the doubt to the guy making millions. The best goalies stand up to this assessment and eye-test... the worst ones show you enough errors to let you pass judgement.
