Florida has been playing a lot better lately, and Carolina still looks great. The Rangers look better, too. You'd think Toronto/Tampa will pick it up at some point. The rest of the East looks pretty meh so far even if some of the bad teams are vastly improved. Burning question: Are the Caps dropping out of the playoffs for the Devils or Senators?

Thanks for this. Also than you everyone for links and options, but I'm sure I'd have to pay money to dig deeper. Money Puck did have a good level of detail for part of what I'm looking to find at least. It helps with the frustration of watching shot after piss poor shot not barely bother Demko last night. Well over half their shots are from low quality chances, and when they do get close, there are few second chances until you get to the third period. The shot map is just Hakstol hockey. At least the Minnesota v Ottawa game was really pretty good. The Sens are going to be pretty good this year, and all it took was Daddy Scrooge to die. And another Tkachuk decided he needed to fight Matt Dumba after a clean open ice hit on the puck. The fighting after clean hits is getting really annoying. I wish they'd toss more instigators into the mix when someone "defends" the guy who just got hit. If the guy who gets hit wants to get up and fight about it, that's at least the two people involved in it.

The Caps are absolutely falling out of playoff contention. Their depth players have been great and Kuemper has been the improvement they hoped for, but the core has dropped off noticeably. Carlson has been trash. Ovi has only 1 goal 5 on 5 so far. Brown is out indefinitely. They can't even win a faceoff. Looks grim! It is funny though to look at the standings and see Philly leading the Metro and Buffalo, Ottawa, NJ and Detroit tied for the wildcard.

A bunch of eggheads said they still think Matthews will win the Richard again but I'm not so sure that I share their confidence. He's playing well enough but it's unclear if he has lingering wrist troubles and is forcing himself to take one-timers instead of sick wicked wristers. Also Mark Giordano has not been on for a single 5v5 GA but I'm expecting the defense's mediocre xGA to catch up to them when Samsonov crashes back down to Earth.

The top 6 has been a little snakebitten or whatever but all of Sandin/Holl/Mete are predictably dreadful. Also Muzzin spent all last year either injured or sucking terribly and apparently management just expected that to... not continue? For some reason? Sometime in November with Liljegren/Benn back maybe things get a little better but there's gonna be a lot of frustrating Leafs games in store for at least another couple weeks I think.

Hart rocking a .950 and 8 GSAA already while the Flyers post a sub 40% xG is both insane and very Flyers. Only Dallas and Buffalo post higher all situation PDOs. New York is on the correct side of most every metric except actual outcomes. They currently post the worst all situation shooting% in the league and 4th worst 5v5. That should even out eventually and they'll be back to annoyingly good. Toronto is interesting because they aren't underperforming their fancies by that much. The 5v5 shooting is 3rd worst currently, but it's balanced by their .925 sv% so only a PDO of 99 vs NYRs 97. With some time this afternoon I'm hoping to compile some random thoughts on the Pens 'cause the team has been incredibly Jeckyl/Hyde within every game. rex rabidorum vires fucked around with this message at 17:51 on Oct 28, 2022 |

I've always wondered. In the NBA former GM John Hollinger had the expression "take the clubs out the bag" Trade the GRITTY VETERANS so the coach is basically forced to play his prospects. I can't think I've seen this happen in the NBA. Does anyone do this?

Rangers are shooting 7.4% against a league average of 10.1%, so that's in reference to them. They've run into bad luck, but there's also some apparent issues. First, Halak has let in quite a few soft goals. He's 37 and his save percentage has been below league average in his 19 and 17 starts in the last two years. He might just not be an NHL goalie anymore. Second, the third pairing are two 21-year-olds (actually, Zac Jones just turned 22 a few days ago) with 43 and 22 games of NHL experience. There's going to be growing pains, but their 7th D who gets spot duty is 24-year old "veteran" Libor Hajek in his 5th season, having played 94 games across the previous four seasons. Braden Schneider might be hitting a sophomore slump, especially without a veteran partner. There's no way to get the kids experience other than playing them, and a veteran 6/7 is an easy deadline acquisition, but the third pairing is also impacted heavily by playing a lot with... The fourth line, which is bad. Really bad. Ryan Reaves is a locker room leader but not an NHL player. Ryan Carpenter has some utility as a PKer and has some good moments where he gets the puck in the neutral zone, but he doesn't pass the eye test and the stats point to him being atrocious but great at defense. Sammy Blais has not looked good, but he also missed nearly a full year so he'll get a pass while he acclimates to playing again. The problem is, the third pairing and fourth line are atrocious and seem to be accountable for a goal against every night. I'd give Domingue and Rydahl a few games to see how things work out, but the club is trying to accrue some cap space before the deadline, so they're not keen on hitting the cap.

Yeah and I'm not sure that it's a case of "low percentage shots propping up their analytics", they've got some real good looks but haven't been finishing them. So...ultimately just have to work through it. Dunno how the analytics grade out for the third pairing and fourth line. They need to sit Reaves for a bit at least and run a faster 4th line. Chytil getting hurt (again) also weakens that 3rd line a lot and puts more pressure on the top six. They're not going to just ditch Reaves this year completely but I think he needs to take a seat for awhile. I dunno, it's a frustrating start int hat they are doing a lot of thigns right but not all the things right at the same time

The Rangers are shooting 2% lower than last year at 5v5 (6.5 vs 8.6) and receiving .902 instead of .926. goaltending. Improve the shooting and they're fine. Improve both and they're back to last year. Their undrelyings are good and if I have some time and sobriety I can take a look at their depth forward numbers. After I do the Pens thing. Sorry T-Bone. For now we're about 10% into the season so I was going to do a very quick and ugly full league 'How things are looking and would I be worried'. Anaheim - Still re-building. If they were supposed to turn the corner they haven't and instead hit a wall. Arizona - Exactly who we thought they would be. Worst team in the NHL and should remain that way. Boston - Better than I thought they would be. Excellent underlyings. Performing to what spreadsheet says they should. Buffalo - 55% goals for on 45% xG. PDO monsters. Music stops at some point. Calgary - Over-performing on their finishing so far. Lots of coinflip in their stats. Weak division, but still trying to get going and gel. Played an extremely difficult schedule so far with only the Knights and Sabres as non-playoff teams so far. So I would expect them to improve in the fancies. Carolina - Scoring more than they should, but not in a concerning way. Who we thought they would be. Chicago - Bad. As expected. Colorado - Dealing with injuries. Goaltending has propped up their 5% shooting. Putting points on the board. Wouldn't worry. Columbus - 45% goals for 49% xG shooting 11% but getting .876 sv%. They bad. Might be a little better. Not much though. That's all the time for now tune in next time......

Igor has also had that weird thing with goalies where when he faces a ton of shots he's really good, if he faces less than 30 then he's had more trouble getting locked in and making the big saves when they come, so that might be an adjustment for him if that keeps up. And yeah, Halak had a good game against Winipeg but has struggled in his other starts

I'll be interested to see your indepth analysis but a cursory look at the Pens analytical numbers indicates they're fine. They've 8th in 5v5 expected goals. They do have some disturbing trends like being 17th in 5v5 shot attempt(corsi)%, and Dumoulin/Carter having sub 50% xgoals at 5v5. The Dumoulin part being particularly troubling because the Pens are relying on him as a top pair defenseman and he is dragging that pair down. But I guess despite their poor ranking in shot attempts they're still doing well in terms of expected goals. From a game by game basis they carried xgoals against Ari/Tb/Cgy(what?)/Cbj and were behind against La/Edmonton/Montreal(lol) I don't really get how they won the xgoal battle against Calgary but I guess they played well enough after that really bad first period.

Rangers have been pretty unlucky I think they will even out. I would like to remodel that 4th line tho, obviously the 3rd line is what it is with injuries right now but we don’t need to be playing Carpenter and Reaves every night. Blais has looked totally lost I think it’s almost time to start getting worried about him.

I should probably mention that Calen Addison is turning out to be a good offensive defenseman. He’s great on the PP this year and aside from taking a couple penalties against Ottawa he’s been playing well defensively as well. (I’m ignoring the first three games of the Minnesota season, they appear to have been outliers possibly.) I don’t know that he’d have been given the time to develop in Pittsburgh, but I’m feeling like that trade worked out in at least that direction. Zucker is at least making the scoresheet in the other direction this year. I can see Beniers winning the Calder this year already though. He’s playing well and scoring even with the Kraken’s issues. It won’t surprise me if Addison does get some votes too.
