Also this idea that because a period of PDO is too high means the next period is going to harshly correct is as dumb as walking up to a roulette table and saying oh 5 reds in a row, put the house on black! Yes at some point there’s going to be a run on black, but another run on red is as likely.

I don't think anyone said that regression to the mean will make the Canucks lose the next 10 in a row.

regardless of if the Canucks are actually good or not, they have the opportunity to do a very funny thing this week and completely crush the fanbases of the Oilers, Leafs, and Senators (plus beat the Canadiens but who isn't doing that these days besides the Jets)

I'm not sure if bringing up gambling with Rick Tocchet at the helm is such a great idea.....


Point being the original question was 'why are the Canucks good this year vs last year' and that's simple - Last year they started the season with 12% shooting in all situations and had .880 goaltending. They finished the year with 11% shooting and .880 sv%. So far this year they're shooting 15.5% and riding .936 sv%.

So based on past performance they're going to finish this season with 14.5% shooting and .936 goaltending, nice.

originally a major, rescinded down to a minor (but then got a major for a total of 7 for crosschecking Timo Meier lol). the right call, although no call would have been fine. another textbook "don't freeze up in the danger zone when there's a forechecker hard on you". Hughes looked like he panicked and froze up. And didn't play the puck or protect himself. Colton even tried to get to the side of him. Could have been a lot worse. he's gotta use the boards instead of getting thrown into him. feel bad for Colton. you gotta expect a defender is going to know how to take a forecheck in the NHL

The Sharks could be that Champion.
For a 5th round pick I could give a hoot whom they're acquiring. Dude seems like he's mostly been a PP specialist which...great, the Sharks could use a dman that can do anything with the pick besides lose it.

I think it's a boarding, but it's pretty textbook case of the hittee putting themselves in a bad position that makes things look worse. Refs made the correct call with a minor board and then a major for the crosscheck to the face.

the THRILL
Sens are dead last in the East. They’ve played 1-3 fewer games than everyone else, but even winning those games would only bring them to a tie with Montreal, or one point ahead of the Sabres.

Last year they had pretty good underlying numbers and atrocious goaltending. This year they’ve got bad goaltending and atrocious underlying numbers. Not sure why they’re so much worse with an objectively better roster and the same coach. They’ve also got 8 players hovering at or around a PPG pace, so it’s not like they’re not scoring, but the problem is they’re not outscoring their defensive awfulness.

Boarding shouldn't even be a penalty. If you get your face slammed into the boards it's your own fault for putting yourself in a vulnerable position, 100% of the time

e: Elbowing too, I guess that isn't really a penalty anymore either since it hasn't been called in years. If your face is somewhere a guy can KO you with an elbow that's on you.

For me I don’t really see much to panic about from the Leafs so far. Obviously they’re not setting the world on fire but the vast majority of their issues are very fixable early-season things: Keefe being stupid about his lines, their #3, 4, and 7 dmen all being out long term, the PK and new defensive structure not gelling yet, all of those things should improve without outside interference.

Samsonov going back to being as terrible as he was with the Caps is not great, but Woll has been fine and as Edmonton just demonstrated you don’t have to keep playing a terrible goalie. Sammy calmed down after a few rough October starts last year too, there’s even odds he can do it again anyway.

nothing wrong with the check to Hughes, but then Colton going and smacking Meier with his stick absolutely deserved a major and all the other stuff. Good job on Colorado only giving up two goals during that 7 minute major (and scoring another shortie) but that was loving stupid and I'm surprised he only got a fine

I think he’s just not suited for Minnesota and the way we expect our defenders to play. It was a good attempt and something is better than nothing when they clearly don’t have much interest in a new contract for him at the end of the season.


Anyone have good hockey podcasts that are not barstool or chicklets garbage? Scouting the Refs I’ve found and it’s okay, just looking for some deeper cuts that aren’t a Sportsnet or Athletic thing.
