[uncleben]

Well, it's that time of year again!
Time to start measuring up a wholly inconsequential and non-predictive stat!

Ottawa is looking good as far as the standings are concerned. I think this is the peak of their season.

 

[Kevin27NYI]

Isles were good in the preseason last year? Don't even remember. I kinda do remember Ho-Sang and Barzal doing well though

I think it was something like 7 wins, 1 overtime loss

Didnt the Aves sweep preseason the year they were historically bad? Lol

Good times where we were good at something that year

Updated after last night's games.

Sorry for the late update. I had a 9-8:30 day today
Tomorrow will be a late update, for tonight's games, as well, for the same reason!

 

[PuckItUp27]

The schedule is crazy this year.

Islanders played Flyers 3 straight nights and I believe the Flyers play again tonight so that's 4 straight nights for them.

It's like that most years, teams have enough players with them that it really does not matter.

 

[Del Preston]

The Bruins are beating teams on multiple continents.

 

[TheDeuce]

Jets only beat Minnesota with a non-goal called as a goal. Time to head over to HFJets and start up the tank thread.

What qualifies a roster as split squad? Doesn't every team do split squad until the final couple of games? (aside from teams doing showcase games like the ones in China).

Designating it as two games in the same day/same time.

Teams are splitting up squads, but a player could and sometimes does play across those squads in back-to-back nights; they effectively have a full artillery, in that scenario, even if they choose to "split" the team up on their own.
But a player cannot play a 7 o'clock and 7:30 game in the same day, effectively limiting the pool of players for each of those games.

The international games mess things up though. I'm debating counting all of Boston and Calgary's games as SS for the duration of their China trip, as, even though the games weren't played on the same day/same time, there is no way of mixing up the squads.

Leafs used to do this now they still have the split-squad teams but they don't play 2 games in one day anymore, other teams to Ottawa for example. imo split squad just means the team is split over two teams, they don't necessarily have to play two games in a day.

But having two games in the same day forces them to split their team.
Electing to split your team over multiple days is a choice.

Go for the gold polyethylene plastic.

 

[Mattavarner]

Leafs tied for 1st in the league in Goals Against 2 games in, elite defensively

But either way the teams are split squad. They choose to split the squad in either scenario actually, whether is on day or two.
