The words I would use to describe the way this team plays hockey would be heavily censored on HF and lead to completely unrecognizable sentences. Just ugly if we're over-simplifying it.

Near where sand and waves meet.
I know people differ on advanced stats, but I do think they are a useful tool in addition to the eye test.

With that caveat, Bruno's favorite d-pairs are both bottom 10 in expected goals league-wide among d-pairs with 100 mins or more (69 total):

I care about real goals. We struggle in that stat as well but xGf and xGa don't align with the real world enough for that to be a stat we worry about.

You have a #5 and a #6/7 playing 2nd pairing minutes and often takingthe toughest matchups. What could go wrong?

Definitely not surprised Josi-Skjei are on there either. They have both been putrid and Josi would struggle to find the D zone even if he left bread crumbs leading back to it this season

Reminds me of one of the down seasons the Kings had, where they were absolutely putrid, and the year's slogan was like "Pride."

Wisely they switched next season to something they couldn't fail with like "We are the Kings."

Damn it, I hate you auto-combine!
