...And in our case it mostly measures quality of shots, sure we have guys that can take the puck to the net. My question is do we have guys like Patrick Kane, Phil kessel, Crosby, Malkin, or toews? The answer is no, my point is that it seems nobody I willing on the rush to take that extra second with the puck and make a smart play, whether that's making a good pass, or holding the puck for that extra second to take a good shot on net rather than some weak wrister from the blue line right in the logo.
Sure I agree with you Garrett, sometimes sh% does measure luck and whatnot but I don't think that's really what it shows here. Guys with unrealistically high % (kadri) are unlikely to keep it up their whole career, but when you're talking about a whole team with low shooting percentage over an extended period of time, something isn't right. Wether it's coaching or just bad play I don't know but I do know something has to change.
No, you are right completely, we don't have those calibre guys... although we have some not too shabby guys. You are probably right in your analysis.
I'm not saying that the Jets are good offensively or disagreeing you on that point; I'm just saying that team shooting percentage isn't a good indicator of that.
Jets poor sh% could be due to talent, could be due to luck, could be both. The problem is you can't say for sure what, and because of that it's just not a good piece of evidence.
If you want I can give you good evidence to prove your point...
When the score is close (ie: game isn't carried away and the other team isn't going in a defensive shell) the Jets are 24th in the league for out chancing and out possessing the other team...
For 5v5 situations the Jets are 18th in save percentage.
There I proved your point for you in a better manner
Jets skaters over the season have for the most part been a larger problem than the goaltending.
If you want to know where to place blame:
Montoya in his 2 games is 18th in league in 5v5 sv%, Pavalec is 38th overall and 18th for starters. So, neither are being above average for their job but are not the weakest link or ******** the bed.
None of Ladd, Little, Wheeler have been near their normal selves and Kane has still been basically playing by himself.
The team has gotten a lot better, but long way to go. Here's the cumulative scoring chances % for Jets as the games go on:
In the end, neither Sv% and Sh% at this level of sample is only indicative of what happened, not what will happen, nor team, system or individual talent. That piss-poor scoring chance though... That's another story.
