dZS% -- Defensive Zone Start % at Even Strength
Defensive Zone Faceoffs / (Offensive Zone Faceoffs + Defensive Zone Faceoffs),
that took place while on the ice
Yeah, I am really surprised at that.
The coaches have noticed, Hainsey is done.
Last season, chart like this would have been impossible.
Gardiner and Zaitsev are the go to pairing for defense, who would have thought that.
Zaitsev at 64% own zone faceoffs, means he plays every shift with his face along the glass in his own zone.
However, something fake about these stats. What about neutral zone faceoffs? I doubt Zaitsev has much faceoffs where he lines up on the opposition blue line.
Thanks for posting that. That will give the usual suspects some indigestion.
More denial will be necessary going forward.
