GDT: WCQF: Game 6 - Vancouver Canucks @ Nashville Predators , 7pm ET

[Summer Rose]

A 4 on 2 resulting in a blocked shot? What are the Canucks doing?

 

[TheNumber4]

Nashville almost f***ed up big there.

 

[McFlyingV]

You keep making his argument for him.

If it’s at all subjective, then it can’t be objective.

But data in itself can't be subjective. The only thing that is subjective is the meaning of a high danger chance. The way they quantify high danger chances are from locations where a higher percentage of shot attempts go into the net. So in a vacuum these numbers show how many shot attempts happened from areas that we know a higher percentage of shots go in from. The only thing subjective about it is whether we should call them high danger chances or if we should call them shot attempts from areas where a higher percentage of shots result in goals.

And for the record I understand how flawed high danger chance measures are because all they account for is shot location and no other variable.

This series is the exact opposite of Avs vs Jets. Even when there's a chance, there's never really a "clean" chance. A shot on the net is made to be exciting by the commentators.

An iceberg vs a paper airplane

 

[GeoRox89]

Almost did something there

 

[Channelcat]

This is like the Leafs/Bruins game. Everyone gripping the sticks. Not clean.

 

[Summer Rose]

We need Andres Cantor to call this game to keep us all awake.

 

[Felidae]

Might be saros best game of the series, damn

 

[syz]

Saros wondering where his team went this period. He might have to score a goal tonight.

 

[TheBeard]

Good save by JUUUUUUUUS

 

[RedRocking]

Damn you, Brock Boeser!!

 

[BB79]

Hits are even at 20, Nashville blocking shots by almost a 2-1 ratio though. They're gonna be hurtin tomorrow

Blocked shots now 26-12

 

[bobholly39]

Canucks are completely dominating

Nashville is lucky it's not 5-0

 

[Frank Drebin]

How is our blood pressure doing

 

[Terrier]

Nice D by the zebra there.

Typical Trotz. When you don't have equity in talent, muck up the game, play not to lose and hope to capitalize on a break

 

[BMOK33]

Boeser shot that way too fast he needed to skate maybe another half step and the whole net was open

 

[Bone Density]

Might be saros best game of the series, damn

Yeah, enjoy watching his athleticism when he's on. Some great saves.

 

[TheBeard]

I mean it's the perfect strategy.

 

[syz]

Nice D by the zebra there.

They've made some good plays tonight. Broke up a Preds 3 on 1 last period.

 

[Three On Zero]

Well in a sense it is objective in that it objectively measures where shots are coming from. Yes, different models vary slightly. But that's still not really subjective. Subjective would be watching a chance and saying "I think that's a scoring chance" or "I don't think that's a scoring chance". The measures lean more heavily to objective than subjective.

Doesn't mean their objective data is right, but its still objective.

Nope.

 

[McFlyingV]

Might be saros best game of the series, damn

Agree 100%

 

[RedRocking]

This game has serious “I don’t need to win, I just need you to lose” energy

 

[Three On Zero]

Saros is going to win Nashville this series

 

[Summer Rose]

How is our blood pressure doing

Probably about 2 systolic and 1 diastolic at the rate this game is going.
