The Jets have to be the biggest standouts here.

2nd in the league in actual goals for, while 1 and 3 games behind the tied for 1st leaders.
6th worst GF% while first place in the league,

What is the predictive power of this? What correlation is there between your standing after 10 games vs your standing after 82?

I'm just showing the stats for the month of October, nothing more. Doesn't have to be deep.

 

[Romang67]

A sample size of 10-ish hasn't really surprised me elsewhere in life, and I'll be damned if it surprises me here.

 

[CallMeShaft]

What's interesting to me, as a Blackhawks fan, is that the Hawks aren't listed in the bottom 10 here despite being 32nd in the league (at this point) in point percentage.

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDo]

Surprised that Pittsburgh isn’t challenging for the bottom (top?) of the bottom board.

I wonder how much longer the Rangers will be up there, their play has gone off a cliff the last three games. This is a much deeper team than last year but their D has been porous.

 

[NVious]

Looks like Torts' comments really got to Zegras and now he's leading a Selke charge.

They were 1st before they got spanked by washington. That game dropped them from 1st to 8th on it's own

Hoping the Rangers show that game was a fluke. I mean it has to be, that was a historically bad performance.

Shesterkin bumped his ask up another couple mill after that shit.

I don't think I've ever seen a team give up an 8 spot in expected goals.

(I hope they continue to play exactly like that)

It depends what site you use. Evolving hockey or whatever had them at over 9 and the second highest figure in the analytics era since 2007.

Wild that shesterkin only gave up 4.

Also how is Mancini still in your lineup holy shit is he a plug.

Is it just because he's a "+", thanks to Shesterkin and good shooting luck?

Mancini is probably better than Lindgren as is. He's just a young player he's not a plug. But I wish Zac Jones was in the lineup.

So, this is just someone assuming x amount of shots should result in a goal.

Granted that X isn't one variable, but a few, but still it seems to be people just going "I assume this team should have scored this many goals and ima make a stat about it"

 

[Breakers]

Vancouver’s expected GF is generous to say the least

Still think Hughes has taken it to another level defensively this season and so has the team

But they can’t generate offense. They just can’t.

Their pp xgf is deadlast. But their 5on5 generation is still strong.

Sounds like your team is in the bottom chart

Genuinely surprised by how good WSH has been. They're not just winning and scoring a lot five on five; they're dominating play. Looking at the roster, it does seem like one that can be good if a lot of things go right (need guys like Dubois, Wilson, Mangiapane and Vrana/Milano to bring it and guys like McMichael and Protas to progress). The team seems better without post prime Kuzy and the corpse of Oshie. Ovechkin looks better this year as well.
