5 of 27. What a ******ed sample size. Try to even pick some round numbers to not appear cherry picking some stats that support your agenda.
That's literally how streaks and numbers work. Like... you're just arguing against logic even though you think you aren't. :laugh:

It feels like the Islanders last season. Good start but once the bleeding started they never seemed to be able to stop it. The Avs recent OT stretch even gave me flashbacks of the Isles last year when they were chasing just one win and went to OT 3 times in a row and found a way to lose them all, around the same time of the year too.

Avs have been fishing the puck out of their net 101 times in regulation during this 27 game stretch that started with a 7-1 blowout loss to Tampa.

That's 3.7 goals against per game.

If you can't fix it in 2 months it's probably not going to get fixed.

Good news for the Avs fans, look at where the Isles are now.

Bad news, Trotz is already employed.

I don’t feel too bad for the Avs. They made the playoffs last season and have Cale Makar and could get a Jack Hughes + a Kakko or Dach and etc. The Avs will be fine going forward.

Well just having one line finally caught up with them.
It's only partially this. There is a good post over on the Avs board that looks at the underlying numbers. They're usually outshooting, outplaying and out-chancing opponents. The issue is goaltending. The Avs goalies don't make the saves other teams goalies are making throughout the game.

This guy actually makes a really good point.

If you limit the sample size to 27 games, it looks really bad.

Yes Colorado has only won 5 of their last 27, but they've won 21 of their last 30. It's simple math people.

Damn, 1-11.

You'd think that top line would excel with all the open ice but I guess not. Does their coach not start with that line in OT? :help:

And absolutely, a couple of those losses being wins would certainly have turned their season around. Definitely would've made that loser point column a little more palatable too, instead of being so far ahead of almost every other team. :laugh:
The top line can do something when they have the puck in OT which rarely happens :laugh: But when the other team starts cycling the puck there is always one that will lose his cover then they are in panic mode suddenly they hit each other or everyone is losing his men then you hear Moser : Score.

Dallas is similarly top-heavy up front, same as the Avs, and they've also lost a couple of OT games on the first possession, like within the first minute.

Probably the one time where faceoff winning % is insanely important. Almost on par with winning an overtime coin toss in the NFL playoffs, only there's actually some level of skill involved and it's not based on luck. :laugh:

Yes, I’ve noted that journalists and hockey fans alike constantly use hyperbole and cherry picked garbage stats to support their agenda, whether it is to make someone look bad or to pump their tires.

Yea, because going back a certain length of games....without using any filters or other facts....is cherry picking and hyperbole.

Those 11 loser points help prop them up too.

Anybody could have seen he collapse. 1 line team. Eggs all in one basket. They are burned out,

At least Dallas are winning some while the Avs won their only OT win in the PP but even then they found a way to lose one in PP when ROR scored a SHG. It's actually funny to see the Avs play in OT they look like a bunch of Pee Wee's that are lost when they don't have the puck :laugh:

This stat is almost as bad as the Ducks. I didn't know that it was going this bad for the Avs.

Strangely, one of those 5 wins was a 7-1 beatdown of LA. OK, maybe that's not so strange.

I did, actually. It wasn’t enough for him to show the avs have won only 27% of their last 30, he had to push it further, only 19% of their last 27!! Wow! They really suck guys! Let’s discuss!

If he's revealing his agenda to make the Avs look worse by going back 27 games, aren't you revealing your own agenda by advocating that he should've picked 30 games, since it would've made the Avs look less worse?
