GDT: 2017-18 Other Games Around the League Part I

[TomasHertlsRooster]

You just knew LA was going to come back. I saw them down 3-1, with like 11:30 left in the third and I was like "nope, theyre going to come back. They're gonna do it."

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Goal was waived off. Coyotes won in a shootout.

Hehehe. I got pissed and shut it off.

Still a pt they shouldn't have got.

 

[Friday]

Whatever, at least the Yotes stole a point from an "easy" 2 point game for the Kings. Going to be a crazy finish in the pacific

 

[Nolan11]

Checked standings. Couple interesting points. We have one more point than the two wild cards. Our ROW is worse than the two LAs so we need to stay ahead of them as they win tie breakers. Of the four teams vying for the last two pacific spots, us, LA1, LA2 and Calgary, we all have gone 5-4-1 in the last ten. Talk about parity.

Worrying about it changes nothing. If we miss the playoffs because of a collapse and Colorado takes our spot its because we didn't earn it and they did.

Worrying about anything out of our control changes nothing....what's your point?

I think the Stars are in deeeeeep doo-doo

Dallas makes a nice comeback, but they have been playing like crap for the last month.

 

[Negatively Positive]

Is there some kind of magic pixie dust that’s being sprinkled on the golden knights and all their players? Erik Haula has 25 goals, William Karlsson has 36 goals and Ryan carpenter has 8 goals. Each of those things happening individually is highly unlikely. All of them happening is unrealistic.

Some people were upset over Schlemko but imagine how Wild and Jackets fans feel. They must be so salty.

Gotta be super annoyed if you're a Panthers fan.

The Panthers single-handedly built Vegas. I’m not even a Panthers fan but I’m mad.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Yet thr Panthers still have young talent and good depth up front. Dadonov probably doesn't come over there if they still have Reilly and Marchessault.

 

[BaileyMacTavish]

Tom Wilson is still a piece of shit player doing piece of shit things like flying elbows

 

[Church Hill]

Tom Wilson is still a piece of **** player doing piece of **** things like flying elbows

Agreed. He's probably going to cost them a playoff game with his ridiculously stupid penalties.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Detroit vs La is sooooo boring

 

[BaileyMacTavish]

Jeez, Detroit stinks butt

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

La luck at it's finest. Score the winning goal on a puck that was flipped from behind the net, hits the top of the net, then bounces off the goalies back and in then get the dagger goal by Toffoli after he entered the zone offside.

Smith was pretty good last year for them but I was absolutely shocked they gave up Marchessault and more importantly Gallant. Panther fans really hate Viola

At a certain point, when you miss the playoffs twice while being "dominant", it makes me start to wonder about what dominant really means. I fully believe in Corsi and advanced stats, but I'm not convinced that the 14-15 and 16-17 LA teams really were dominant.

I would agree though that they are a bit worse this year, but just getting a little more lucky.

Again, there may be some misconceptions and part due to how CF has been used by hf for so many things that ppl have begun to dismiss it.

By itself over a large sample its only a predictor that a team will still put up corsi events and those are counted no matter if its on goal, missed or blocked.

We have seen this sharks team, when ib a slump, throw everything from the point. Puck never gets through etc. But hey corsi is high. But over a large sample those begin to turn into chances and goals more often than if you lose the corsi battle every night.

You have to look at a variety of stats to get a good picture od true team performance imo

Absolutely, no doubt in my mind.

For example, Burns has been downright terrible defensively this year, yet his shot suppression stats actually look solid. His overall possession stats are beast. Yet when you look deeper into his high danger chances against per 60, it shows you just how bad his defensive performance has actually been this year.

 

[JeremyTB]

Kings losing 3-0 with 12 minutes left in the 3rd.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Enjoyed watching Haley put Kassian into the boards then beat Khiara in a fight.

Miss that dude.
