First game of the year for me. I have a feeling this will be a bath of blood.

Why must we suffer.

 

[fasterthanlight]

On pace for 45 points, which is 15 less than last year, and worst points percentage since 2019-2020 red wings.

Why must we suffer.

It's not suffering its celebration

what teams are actually bad in this league? it seems like we have faced 70% teams with elite 5v5 scoring and possession

We're bad enough to absorb the theoretical badness of at least five other teams.

One must suffer to be redeemed. Redemption thy name is Macklin.

lol aside is this actually mathematically possible? could us being so bad be boosting more teams into the +1.0 5v5 ratio range or is it like PDO where it would average out leaguewide?

Should average out. But as with PDO everything has it's outliers.

All the suffering is gonna make that eventual cup win that much sweeter

All of us that suffered will be long dead by then.

Why must we suffer.

“To suffer is the great modality of taking the world seriously...We must suffer to the end, to the moment when we stop believing in suffering.”​

It's my understanding that we did face a pretty difficult first half schedule, which is one of the reasons why our ROS is "top 2 easiest," but I don't have the stats to back that up.

It is definitely possible that if you have a league with 10% truly dogshit teams, that everyone else can look "better than average" ... haven't done or seen any analysis to confirm that's what might be happening this year with the unholy trinity of SJS/ANA/CHI.

 

[StanleyCup2035]

4-3 Jets

Connor, Ehlers 2 each
Musty hat trick (Will Smith with secondary assists on all 3 goals)

 

[coooldude]

3-1 Jets. Eklund snaps his scoring slump.

We're still missing Sturm's FO's and generally hard effort, we're out Benning, but Emberson and Addison are back in and we played Detroit close.

I think we break the losing streak at MTL in one week, but maybe we take Jets or Leafs to an OT loss in the meantime.

Advanced hockey stat for the day:

Winning the game is actually losing and losing the game is actually winning.

Yup

Two wins verse the Jets last year is the difference between Smith and Bedard… I still remember our miraculous goal with very little time remaining by Hertl and then winning in OT.

We have no idea if we would have had the lotto balls fall our way, so I prefer to think of it as "2 wins is the difference between Smith and Fantilli." Which is still a real bummer.
