Detroit is literally the luckiest team in the league in terms of goaltending and finishing sequencing.

I'm going over the graphs on HockeyViz, and if you squint a lot you can almost convince yourself that the Habs might not be fully fraudulent because they have quite a good powerplay. The Red Wings have absolutely no redeeming statistical qualities.

Does Carolina's low average xG per shot take into account that They Are Carolina, or is it assuming league average shooting ability?

it's women's sport, beata. how many other lesbians could there possibly be?

Don't let me pizza your hut! You can totally make MacW happen!

I didn't realize this was a real divide! Who is arguing the MacW side?

this is what having kleven as your most common defensive teammate does to a mf:

Well sure, but teams can also win when they take more penalties than the other team, and that's not exactly a mystery of hockey.

I don't think there's anything enigmatic about a guy who plays 4 minutes a night and will be on the ice for one of his team's goals once every 15 games on average.

that's literally all you need to say to yourself the next time you see the "the sens have won X games with macdermid in the lineup" stat.

damn hitting him with the government name

When was the last time the Sens scored with an empty net to tie the game? I swear they can't have done it more than 2 or 3 times since the beginning of 2024.

I hear what you're saying, but unfortunately human constructs seem to be calling a lot of the shots around here

Anyway, I'm taking this one kind of hard, and not for the first time this year, either.
