So Pav has given up about 1/2 of a goal more than he should have these last two games. And Winnipeg media is treating him like a superstar these two games. Talk about a truck full of horse manure.
Wouldnt it be nice to have some objective media covering the Jets.
.21 is really more like 1/5.

Its .21 per game times two games is .42 goals over the two games. Thats a lot closer to 1/2 goal than 1/5.

Basically a super Corsi.
It adjusts for shot quality and for usage factors (linemates, linematching, coaches, schedule) at the play by play level.
Just like Corsi, you do not use it as an all-telling WAR statistic, but it does give even more information than a stat like Corsi would.
Forward/Defender rank in parenthesis.
2016-17What time frame are you using?
Dano's looking pretty bad... I assume because he's playing LW. How was he last season when he mostly played RW?
Edit: also, according to this Little is a 2nd line player??? and bad defensively??? what???

No. It does not account for everything, like scoring and other factors that may lift Little up relative to those above them. XPM is not a WAR statistic, although it does drive a large percentage of WAR. It's not the whole picture, but a large part of the picture.
It does say that Little is a second line forward "in this area of the game".
Defensively != defensive impact.
Wouldn't using the adverb "defensively good" to describe a player describe defensive impact if it was being used correctly?
i.e. to say that Little plays well defensively but his defensive impact isn't good is a contradiction

Dano last season was a bit above Copp is this season.

How dare the sports media be happy with success and report that the change to the team has made that difference.
Anyone watching today's game that thinks the result is not largely due to Pavalec's play is deluding themselves.

I thought the result was not largely due to Pavelec's play...
I honestly don't believe it is remotely delusional to say that a team that scores 5 and 6 goals winning isn't "largely" due to the goalie. Maybe a smidget, but honestly, the Jets just scored more goals than normal. Give this goal support to even Hutchinson who has played terrible this season and he wins more games.
I mean, I'm not complaining. The team won. Pavelec played "good enough" which is better than we have seen in a good chunk of games. I don't think he's causing the Jets to score 11 goals off of all those shots though.
Hah!! 40 goal Marchand or Patrice flipping Bergeron compare to 3 career goal nic petan? And I'm a petan fan...
What variables drag Myers down this year? Raw numbers look good this season so far.
If Hutchinson played and had 25 shots in the 2nd period, the score would of not been 2-1 Jets going into the 3rd. Pavelec's great game gave the Jets confidence to win the game. If they were down 4-2 going into the 3rd, the team would of been deflated and I doubt they would of scored the three more goals in the third.
