Post-Game Talk: Habs def. Canucks - 5-4 (SO) (Virtanen, Boeser, Horvat, Motte)

[tantalum]

They have 34 shots and 30+ scoring chances?

Correct. Keep in mind not all chances are equal so some may be give a score of 3. The link gives how these are calculated. But there was a stretch in the second where the Habs had the trailer with a wide open shot in the slot only to miss....several times. They were racking up scoring chance points in that stretch.

Vancouver Canucks @ Montreal Canadiens, 2021-03-20

Yes.

They have the Canucks at 11, and I haven't seen 11 genuine scoring chances for them.

Guys, I've missed most of the game. How's Holtby been?

The better of the TWO goalies. The guys havent really helped him out much. And I wasnt a fan of signing Holtby but not his falt tonight Chair Man

 

[TruKnyte]

0 offensive zone time. Just so bad. Lucky the game is tied.

 

[Regal]

I think some posters are really overrating the lopsidedness of this game. If Montreal has had 30 scoring chances the guy counting them is drunk.

If you scroll further right, you may agree more with the “high danger scoring chances” stat more.

Shot attempts 71-35

Gallgher is a damn beast. I want Hoglander to watch video and model his game completely around that. Similar build and playstyle

It’s crazy that the Canucks might win this 4th game in a row while getting absolutely dismantled in 3 of them. Sure take the points but these aren’t performances that should be telling a n organization to switch gears and buy at the deadline.

It’s ridiculous. This team is playing like absolute shit but goaltending and blind luck are saving them.

Better than Price

By a significant margin.

Price looks like the goalie version of Gudbranson.

 

[CalderSchmalder]

They look like a tired team just trying to hold it together

The definitions they use for what constitutes a particular kind of scoring chance are so vague (and they have to be) that I can't see this system being predictive over the course of one game. Over the course of a season, sure.

 

[Peen]

I mean, if this game goes past regulation it’s going to be a canucks win.

But the loser point is big.

 

[Diamonddog01]

What? He doesn't sound even remotely like him. WTF lol.

I hear more Gilbert Gottfried than Farhan Lalhi.

 

[mathonwy]

This isn't entertaining

[The Vasili Jerry]

Björnstad would beat the Canucks right now.

 

[I am toxic]

They look like a tired team just trying to hold it together

 

[WTG]

3 point game just to piss off everyone else.

 

[M2Beezy]

EXCELLENT recovery by none other then Brock Boeser

Different stat collections vary on what would be considered a high danger chance or whatever. I know the one for goalie stats that NHL teams use Woodley brought up one time on the Vancast tends to differ a lot.

But this is about all we’ve got for free data available and I don’t find a big discrepancy between what I see there and what I see watching the game honestly.

 

[tantalum]

They have the Canucks at 11, and I haven't seen 11 genuine scoring chances for them.

They likely have a couple chances that were scored 2 or 3. 11 will likely mean they had less than 11 discrete chances so your eye test lines up with that.

LOL at getting points out of this performance.
