Yeah, he left 30 silver coins.
We outplayed them every period at even strength and generated both more shots and higher quality shots. It was just goalie gap+special teams that put the Rangers up 3-0. Now of course that is by design b/c New York has one of the best goalies in the world and Edmonton has one of the worst, but the skaters were ragdolling the Rangers' skaters at even strength.
It was always extremely unlikely for Campbell to put up even close to his career average save percentage with this build of the Oilers. The Leafs defense wasn't great last year but the type of shots they give up/type of system they play tends to help Campbell b/c they don't give up a lot of high danger. Our team gives up a ton of high danger due to McDrai/Hyman/Nurse playstyle and players like Bouchard/Barrie just being weak defensively in general.
Campbell has been so bad this year that his career sv% has already dropped from a .916 to a 913. 12 games lol
14-7 would place them comfortably 2nd in the division.
That's a huge drop in 12 games spanning his career. Yikes
As someone who reluctantly watches more Leaf hockey than I care to admit, I was not so sure that your comparison with the Oilers and the Leafs was accurate. They have a habit of hanging goalies out to dry a lot as well. Natural Stats Trick seems to agree with me on the HDCA side 5 vs 5. The Leafs gave up 28 fewer HDCA vs the Oilers last year. Over the last three years the difference has been on average only about 16 more per season on the Oiler side.
I have 8.7 percent IPA. Those work too.
I knew the oilers would win and score a lot.
What kind? Love me some IPA’s
This can’t be understated. No way should any goalie be playing games in the NHL if they are rocking a 4.04 GA and .875 SP after playing 10 plus games. Thats ECHL level of shit
He just looks so Canadian. One can encounter this person at any rural gas station parking lot rocking the Caterpillar boots, worn jeans, a grey hoodie and the black beanie, digging his truck out of snow.
The thing with penalty kill is that you WILL give up high danger chances against simply b/c you're down a guy. Removing that and just looking at 5v5 play takes away a very important and very significant sample size, and with the full sample size Toronto allowed 53 less than us.
Removing that? IMO the PK is where our lack of team defense comes home to roost. But yeah, continue to blame the goalies for giving up goals on wide open looks.
I'm not blaming goalies I'm blaming Jack Campbell. Skinner plays behind the same defense who play even more loosely in front of him and gets the job done. Every goalie in the NHL has to deal with high danger shots on the penalty kill. Of players who've faced more than 20 high danger shots against on the penalty kill, only John Gibson and Alexandar Georgiev have a lower shorthanded HDSV%.
