8 divisions of 4 teams, the 1st place teams all automatically go to the playoffs, intradivisional 4th vs. 3rd, winner vs. 2nd ladders for the other 8 teams. That's where we're gonna end up

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.

No team (5v5) gives up more xG per 60 than the Ducks @3.36 and that's mostly on the back of giving up more high dangers per 60 than any other team @ 16.08. Arizona is next closest in high dangers giving up 14.17 per 60. At present Anaheim ranks 7th best in the NHL with .855 high danger sv%.

Basically the goaltending is being asked to do the impossible. Also Stars fans might have been 100% correct about Klingberg who looks very very very bad.

How do I shot puck!?
every one of the 4 major leagues has made making the playoffs easier in the past 20 years. the NHL is alone in having made it arguably harder because the league has gotten larger but the same 16 spots are available. it seems pretty inevitable that it'll expand sooner or later. im actually surprised Bettman is being allowed to hold firm on this, i would think the owners would be pinning for the extra $$$

*Gestures at 60 years of Lions history*

Lol to revive the announcer chat from a while back, Mickey Redmond just lambasted the wings for that abysmal power play they just had against the hurricanes

Edit: and the wings just got another PP and he's like "well what do you expect they just had 2 of them with no shots" I appreciate him for not being afraid to criticize the team instead of just being homer

Edit2: and the intermission team described the game as a "gloriously boring road game" for the Hurricanes and that seems accurate

As someone who has watched a lot of the Caps/Samsonov I would say, just wait a bit. Maybe he has really got it now. I dunno. But he was streaky in Washington. He'll go two weeks where he looks like a god, then the next two weeks you wonder if he can tie his own shoes.

I 100% agree, it’s incredible to watch our goalies and not worry that he’s about to poo poo himself and let in 6 goals.

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.
The Ducks were vaguely in the playoff picture last year, and then just decided to blow it up for some reason and the team has been dogshit since. Maybe it's worth it if they win the Bedard lottery, but if not, in not sure what plan B is.

The Sabres are 3-0 wearing the ridiculous Black/Red jerseys, outscoring their opponents 18-5 in those games. A six goal third period, tonight.

If the Sabres had even average goaltending they would make the playoffs, no question. Anderson looked the best that he has in years tonight.

I’m very cognizant of the fact that in November/December last year Jack Campbell was near the top of the league in sv% and was nominated to be an all-star.

Then almost literally as soon as the year turned 2022 he became one of the worst goalies in the league, as Micah helpfully charted:

https://twitter.com/IneffectiveMath/status/1602831284858155008?s=20&t=kDleixxgiIKkB3nwfjhKvQ

There’s a lot of season left, Murray and Samsonov both have been great but they’ve also both played 10 games so far.

Uh what? Anaheim wasn't anywhere near the playoffs last year. They weren't even close to competitive in the worst division last year.

Did they really sell off guys either? Lindholm was a pending UFA and they did bring in Klingberg to replace him. This isn't the Sabres getting rid of any guy who played goalie in the AHL

They have a very barren lineup and no amount of fix it moves could patch that over. They're playing the guys they should be playing, too.

Count them separate, sure. But when you're talking about lifetime NHL goals scored, we should be counting every goal scored in a game that counted for something in the NHL.
