All Sports would be great if they were Hockey
How much credit do you give Anderson for the Sens current record.
A sh_t load, that's how much.... We have the weakest Defence in the NHL, and yet, we are stealing some games.....

Unless I was totally out of it last night I didn't originate that post I only commented on it. My brain is still not quite in gear today and I don't mind taking credit but I'm pretty sure the part you quoted wasn't mine.A sh_t load, that's how much....

I mean, in order to win you need to outscore the opponent, no?He is just doing his part, nothing out of the ordinary. Regardless he is bombarded with 40 shots a game, he isn't really stealing any games for us. he had is fair share of struggles this season. He is simply doing what a NHL goalie is suppose to do.
Stone and Duchene gets the most credits for our record this season. Basically we are out-scoring our opponents for 90% of our wins, and these 2 are the main reason for that. I would include Chabot in there too, but he has been, at times, questionable in his own end.

Never really been a fan of the point share metric hockeyref uses, though tbh, I never looked into goalie shares much. The methodology always seemed very dated, not accounting for the quality of chances for example. Obviously being high up there on that metric isn't a bad thing though.Throwing it out here again for people’s thoughts. How about you Sir @Micklebot
That site says Ottawa allows 38 shots against per game compared to Toronto's 34...
Andersen has faced 104 less shots then Anderson
Anderson has 894 shots against in 1404 mins - 0.64 shots/min = 38.4/per60 mins.
Andersen has 770 shots against in 1372 mins - 0.56 shots/min = 33.6/per60 mins
That is a big difference. Very big difference
Sure.
If you're of the opinion that Andersen would have the same sv% playing here, then I really don't know what to say.
It's not just shots, it's the quality.
We give up the highest quality, and highest quantity in the league by a lot.
The bolded contradict each other.5 shots per 60 minutes of play is really not a big deal. As a goalie, I don't really care about the number of shots I receive. Actually, I prefer to get more because a game where you don't receive a lot of shots but a higher % of them are 2 on 1's, breakaways, shots from the slot, or rebounds in close; it's actually hard to build your "mental wall", especially if you get scored on early. You need those routine/easy shots to get more "comfortable"
The problem at the NHL level and why the actual system sucks is that players are the best in the world, so they will deflect and screen a lot of pucks. This passive/blocking/cutting lanes system is outdaded, so the more shots attempts you allow, the more you increase the chance of getting scored a "ugly/lucky goal" against.
See data below.
Well, this statement doesn't fit with the data, unless NaturalStatTrick is totally inaccurate
CA/60 : Sens 69.29 (31st) - Ducks 63.85 (30th) - Leafs 62.45 (29th)
SA/60 : Sens 38.01 (31st) - Ducks 34.84 (30th) - Leafs 33.59 (28th)
SCA/60 : Sens 30.11 (30th) - Ducks 33.73 (31st) - Leafs 29.55 (26th)
HDCFA/60 : Sens 12.17 (26th) - Ducks 14.33 (31st) - Leafs 12.12 (25th)
GA/60 : Sens 4.09 (31st) - Ducks 2.76 (10th) - Leafs 2.67 (5th)
SV% : Sens 89.24 (25th) - Ducks 92.08 (1st) - Leafs 92.05 (2nd)
HDSV% : Sens 79.39 (24th) - Ducks 83.58 (7th) - Leafs 82.38 (11th)
If you look at SCA and HDCA per 60 minutes, the quantity and quality is almost exactly similar to the Leafs. The only difference here is that the Leafs and Ducks have some of the best goaltending in the league. If the Sens had their goalies, life would be easier. Then, if they had Leafs coaching, they could even be in a playoffs spot right now
The bolded contradict each other.
Sure, if the site says that other teams have allowed more high danger scoring chances, I'm not one to say their wrong, I'm not pouring through data, just going off what I see with my own eyes.
I'd definitely be questioning it's validity, but that's neither here nor there.
If there is a lockout it would not be next year. It would be 2020-2021Andy is heart and soul.
The players actually respected him and played on the ice for him. Maybe he went through too much and as a result our guys don't know how to respond to our other 'tendys.
I suspect he will be traded this season, and he deserves a chance to abandon this tire fire and play for a championship team. (Lockout next year means this is his last shot boys)
Ironically, San Jose has bad goaltending. Don't be surprised...

I mean, in order to win you need to outscore the opponent, no?
