Horvat is shooting at 25%

That's just nuts and won't repeat

He's having a classic contract year. A tale as old as time. Sure would come in handy for a run, though.

Damn, someone will pay premium on that. Brutal.

Is this also where we point out McDavid is shooting 22% and claim regression?!

There are some crazy high numbers across the league... even Mikko's 19% is high.

Yes? Horvat is currectly overachieving at a pretty insane level. Same as Kadri last year, if not more.

I'm just making jokes... Horvat is having his career year. Everybody can clearly see it.

Shooting percentages across the board are shooting up though. A few years ago, we were in the low to mid 9s across the league... now we are a touch above 10. A half percent doesn't sound like a lot, but it really is a ton. I wouldn't be shocked if the best shooters are up ~2% consistently over their career averages so far.. and that might be sustainable while scoring is like it is. Now 10% like Horvat is... yeah that'll certainly come down.

Funny enough on Kadri, the difference last year on his goals wasn't his percentage, which was roughly the same, it was his shot volume. Dude shot from everywhere and with that, his normal 11% went in. All of his bigger goal scoring seasons have been when he shoots 200+ times. He's on pace to do that again. Now I think Kadri's assist numbers are heavily dependent on types of linemates... he needs a crash and bang guy on his wing and a sniper to really cash in on assists. He had that last year, but doesn't this year.

I'm not the biggest Dom fan, but this tweet was incredibly accurate.

I’m sure the ladies are thrilled as well.

MacK was probably calling out each individual player and saying something nice about them. Then he gave everyone a piece of hard candy.

That he made himself

Nuke and Bura were perfect wingers for him. Unstoppable when it was used and they were all feeling it.

Apparently JT Miller is available "for free".

and yet they're about to be 2-0 vs The Avs

 

[nammerus]

and yet they're about to be 2-0 vs The Avs

With their back-up goalies in both games.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

Buffalo is going to be a powerhouse.. they have so much talent at U20 and then their team looking good. Yikes. Exciting times for them.

That contract is a boat anchor on a sinking ship

One of Horvat, Drai, and Rants wont make the AST so that Seth Jones can be on it.

Everything wrong with these times but put in hockey terms

I think Peter is off here. He says three players voted in per division then names Pacific players.

 

[The Abusement Park]

Makar made it over Rants? That name value.

 

[The Merchant]

64 saves for Saros

correct

 

[TruePowerSlave]

Hopefully only Makar goes to the joke game. Rants can have some rest.
