Hmm. I've never seen board glitch issues. I've run the numbers and it turns out that the problem is, as always, Pennsylvania.

Should be fixable if they cared enough. But also, gently caress the animations. They should not be allowed.

They are noticeable and they suck. I feel like in the early going they kept the animations to when teams had possession in the defensive zone on a PP or whatever. But I've seen them do animations now with possession in the offensive zone and it's definitely distracting. Saying nothing of the glitches.

Some arenas are worse than others due to the camera angle but I don't understand people who say they don't notice them. A bunch of them are animated during play, they always glitch out when the bench door is open, and they glitch out on board battles behind the net maybe half of the time.

I will say that it was very jarring to be watching the broadcast on Sportsnet of the Minnesota vs Dallas game from the other week and seeing the Minnesota Wild logo superimposed all over the place on the Dallas home rink boards. crazy stat that I had no idea about : https://twitter.com/JeffVeillette/status/1602692407790899201 The Ducks only have 1 win this season in regulation? what the hell? how is that even possible

I really don't notice them glitch out as often as Brett Kulak does so maybe that's why I don't mind them.

How many former Leafs do the Ducks have, and what's the record for most players on a team with a hat trick in a game?

At least with the animated ones there's so much noise on the screen is difficult to focus on any one thing that's wrong with the picture.

At 5v5 - Columbus, San Jose, Los Angeles, Montreal, Buffalo, and Vancouver all sport worse sv% than Anaheim and Arizona ascending from .893 to .907. Then you hit the Yotes before Calgary and then Anaheim. In all situations you have: Los Angeles, Vancouver, San Jose, Seattle, St. Louis, Buffalo, and Columbus before reaching Anaheim. Range starts at .877 ending at .889 (Anaheim). Yotes land 14th worst at .897. Point being don't insult Arizona's bottom mid-table goaltending like that. Now the rest of that whole....on ice thing.....yikes it's bad yes. For both Arizona and Anaheim. Bottom of the league bad in fact. It appears there are 2 distinct groups of 'very bad' this year with Anaheim/Arizona and Chicago all posting 40% xG splits...then a clump of Philadelphia, Vancouver, Columbus, Detroit, and Montreal next all hovering around 45% xG.

They lost to the Sens last night, but in the process injured 2 of the Sens' top-9 forwards, including Stutzle potentially long-term. So maybe bet on the worst possible outcome tonight - let's say a 6-2 win, with a season-ending injury to Nylander.

They lost 4-3 in OT to end a horrible west coast trip where they went 0-2-2 against the Cali teams & Vegas. Since then they are 14-1-4. But yeah, all of Leafs history suggests that this is a guaranteed Anaheim win.

Sounds like Caufield is doing okay and will be in Wednesdays lineup. Concussion protocol basically as the trainer apparently came and got him off the bench and brought him to the locker room and that was the end of his night.

Anaheim is somehow just abysmal and there’s not really a thing you can point to and say beyond “well they’re really young, maybe they’ll get better”. In just a few years they dove off deep into a rebuild and look like they’ll be there for a couple more. Maybe they’ll be the surprise in 2026 like the Devils were this year.

I would like Montreal to be better because for the past few years it barely registers as a rivalry to me anymore. There's no one on the Habs that bothers me, and in fact I actively like some of their players (mostly Suzuki and Caufield) and this needs to be rectified.

I had to look this up, because I thought, surely this can't be correct. It's weird, because I am pretty sure last season, I said Anaheim is a great young team on the rise. Zegras, Terry, McTavish and Drysdale. But, it looks like went from one of the best young goalies in the league to one of the worst goalies. Unsure what happened there.

Personally I think that Gibson is better than his numbers from the past few years. That team is godawful and he gets shelled every night, he's routinely having to see 40-50 pucks a game. So yea, he's at a sub .900 SV% right now, but on the other hand he has more saves than any other goalie in the NHL. Look at this last 7 starts, for example. In two of those game he got destroyed. Like, sub .800 SV%. In the other five his worst sv% was .918, and the Ducks only won two of those games. On most teams, that kind of goaltending gets you a win. Of course you can't pin all of it on the team, but I don't really buy that it's all on him either.

Spelling Mitsake posted:I... agree... with Gary Bettman? Wild Card is good enough, don't need to cheapen it. The play in is the regular season. What benefit does giving these bottom half teams a platform to play in when it's not even being pitched as being in front of the teams' home crowds? I know I would be super upset if I had season tickets, my team was at #7-8, but then I don't get to see them play at all because they went to California in a neutral venue and lost to a #9 team and now I don't get to see any home playoff games. It would be stupid bullshit.
