Top and bottom 15 Dman who have played at least 50 minutes 5on5 in relative xGF% for October

I like how Kyle Burroughs is 7th in the league when he's the 8th D-man on his own team.

One of the top 15 defenseman in the NHL (according to this thread) is being scratched tonight and it seems right. (Justin Barron)

So maybe we are all collectively clueless, or maybe this advanced stats means shit?

Honestly, I don't know anything about Justin Barron, so I won't draw any conclusions on that, but it's more likely that we're all collectively clueless.

Is this raw or GSVA adjusted? Game score adjusting affects expected goals more than most other stats, teams up two or more goals have significantly higher chances for GF and GA due to the opponent needing to take risks to catch back up.

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

It shows how useless this stat is that JBD is the 2nd best. He's been very good for Ottawa, but he's a bottom pairing dman, Sanderson, Chabot, and Jensen have all been far better so far, which is to be expected.

You know what, you’re right. I withdraw all prior criticism of this metric, which I suddenly realize is very accurate at determining who plays the best hockey.

It's funny, you continue to show you don't actually understand this metric.

This chart you posted isn't the same metric from OP's post.

I think you mean score adjusted? Based on the outputs, I think OP did not choose a score-adjusted filter.

xGF%rel has to be the most preposterous, convoluted, and context-less stat that is regularly used to evaluate and compare players.
