This is unfortunate. I'm not drawing any conclusions based on tonight.

Can the laypeople have a legend? I like crayons as much as the next guy, but what do the colors mean?

 

[Capitals40]

They've had the puck in the offensive zone for most of the game. Hard to rack up the hits when you're the team carrying play.


No, that honor belongs the chart/graph in this video

Sure, but they are down 3-0. They are just staying the coarse. I guess I am too old school. Down 3-0, home ice, mix it up.

Wilson doesn't get the puck deep and the Isles counter-attack becoming a 2 on 1 goal. Nothing Kuemper could do.

 

[Langway]

Carlson this ragged after four days off. Bruh.

Would be nice if he would occasionally stand o n his head in goal, e.g., make the big save.

It has one when you pull up the full image.

It's basically just a shooting/xG graph that shows each individual player's share of the total number. Far as I can remember the grey stuff is a miss, the blue stuff is a save, the overlays are for PP/PK shots, and it would be red on a goal. I assume the idea is that each player's bar gets bigger the more they contribute, but it might still show some goals as more valuable or dangerous than others depending on xG vs. result, which is why the high danger chances for the Islanders look like big ol' bars but there's also a teeeeeeny tiny little red in there for the 1st goal, which was just a crap shot from distance.

They have to can Murray. They just have to, he hasn't been able to get anything out of a single goaltender in his tenure here.

Both Kuemper and Lindgren played some of their best hockey early last year and have only gotten weirder and harder to understand the more the coaching has messed with what they had going when acquired.

 

[LesDiablesRouges]

Joe B. just mentioned that Backstrom will still be training with the team off the ice, just not participating in on-ice practice sessions. Interesting to say the least.

Caps 6 hits thru 2 periods..pretty sad

. . . but but our unicorn Tom Wilson

 

[Hivemind]

oh no. I skipped ahead a little and now I have pudding brain.

You'd have to have an architect's drafting table and accompanying ruler just to follow most of those lines, sweet lord what is that monstrosity?

As he says at the end of the video "if you notice any mistakes in this graph, keep it to yourself, I never want to see it again"

I have been saying this for over 2 years now about Scott Murray.

I feel like the complaints started way before that

 

[Hivemind]

The #FireScottMurray bandwagon has space for everyone

 

[HTFN]

shots are 25-14, if they try to hit any more than they currently are it's just going to be Carlson cleaning out other Capitals again.

 

[notDkristich]

Carlson...easy pass up the wall or setup the Islanders for a slap shot??? Huur Duuur

 

[HTFN]

I have been saying this for over 2 years now about Scott Murray.

It's like the only place I agree with the unhinged you, but it's probably dead on by now. He's not good and I don't know how he survived this coaching change.

 

[Hivemind]

HAMMER (i dont care if it got deflected - Im creditting HHA)

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Yay! The shutout is over!

Regarding Lindgren, BMac overpaid the backup goalie again(he first did it with Pheonix Copley). I have not been impressed at all and he's basically played worse than he did last season. We have a $5 million per year # 1 goalie, why did we need to pay the backup $1.1 million per, especially considering how tight the team is to the salary cap ceiling. Also the fact that Lindgren's numbers with the Habs/Blues were a small sample size.

[Capitals40]

TJ

 

[HTFN]

I want to call him Hahaa so bad, I was watching him the whole shift wondering when his first wuld be and yeah, it's not this one because of TJ but it's going to be real fun when he does.

Good player, great find.

 

[Coldplay619]

No way that should be GI

 

[Capsman]

That will be called back.
