I remember Arthur Kaliyev’s scouting report was basically “NHL-level skater, unbelievable shot, low compete-level and so bad defensively he’s almost unplayable at 5-on-5. But man what a loving shot” and it’s been pretty spot on.

LA has been hiding him on the 4th line with a ton of powerplay time which is perfect, when he has the time and space to pick a lane and shoot he has one of the best releases in the game.

He has 11 even strength assists. He also has 9 even strength goals.

To go further, he's at 3.1 even strength points/60 , which is 20th in the league for anyone over 200 minutes played.


At all strengths he's second to Jason Robertson.

Zacha has been good for Boston. Good chemistry with the guys he's been paired with and produces mostly at even strength. I'm still surprised that he was traded for Erik Haula, who is fine but unspectacular, and also like 6 years older. I'd have thought that NJ would want to hold on to Zacha since they basically fill the same role.

JFresh was talking about 5v5 points, so discounting 6 on 5, 4 on 4, 3 on 3 etc. situations, and McDavid does have 11 of those. League leader is Crosby with 21.

I will never stop melting down over this

I also am trying to perform dark magic with VPNs and smart DNS to no avail, how do I make ESPN+ bend to my will, goons
I use ESPN+ and Nord on a Chrome browser. It's a little finicky, but this works for me:

1. Don't go to ESPN plus until you're connected to the VPN
2. You'll need to fiddle around with the VPN location to find one that consistently works. I would say more than 50% don't work. For SJ games, I go to Atlanta. Finding a location that works 100% of the time is key.
3. Go to ESPN plus dot com. Your game will probably be listed at the very end, since it is "blackout restricted". simply opening it up and clicking the Home Feed will work alot of the time, but:
4. Even better, first open up some out of market game. Once you're connected to the feed, navigate to your local game on the menu underneath the broadcast, then switch over. This works nearly 100% of the time (and if it doesn't, just refresh and try again).

For whatever reason, once you're connected to A Hockey Game, your local feed loads much more consistently. I don't use Smart DNS, no clue what that is. I've been doing this since last season and it works fine.

Ya McDavid 5x5 this year is having his worst season by most advanced metrics. He's under 2pts/60 which is down almost a full point from two years ago, and down .7 from last year which was his worst previously. His one ice shooting % is 3% below his career average which definitely has a lot to do with it. Why this is happening?

Well he was at 2.8 points/60 when Kane got his wrist cut and Yamamoto died. Since then he has 2 goals and 0 assists at 5x5 and has played with a pile of bad wingers and his on ice shooting percentage has cratered. He's been fine all season, its just really the last couple weeks dragging down his numbers (but JFRESH doesn't really dig into things cause its not good for tweets)

Yeah it's like, the NHL points leaders in say 1982-83 were:

1. Gretzky 125
2. Stastny 124
3. Savard 121
4. Bossy 118
5. Dionne/Pederson 107

Except I lied, Gretzky had 125 assists. He also scored 71 goals.

Break what must be broken, once for all, that's all, and take the suffering on oneself.

― Corey Dostoyevsky
pavel zacha has the lingering stench of being one of the most significant duds of the 2015 first round. he was never sixth overall material, and he was never going to live up to those expectations, so he became a whipping boy. getting a fresh start was the best thing for his career, and I don’t think the devils care at all that he’s able to thrive elsewhere.

yeah this is exactly how I'd describe it, I think it was good for him to get away, and good for the Devils to move on

I recall him dominating the Sharks in the 2015-2016 finals even moreso than Crosby and Malkin. A quick look at the stats (two primary assists on game-winners and the series clinching goal) confirms that. I don't watch very many east coast games, so seeing him do Kris Letang Things against my team was really loving annoying. He's way too young to be having strokes, you've got nothing to prove man.
