GDT: NYI vs. WSH - 7 PM

[Corby78]

Whelp. Slightly below average team 3, slightly above average team 3.

 

[Firsov99]

Gotta win this one to make the 767 more joyous.

For the love of god do not play Carlson in OT. He has been so sloppy and slow tonight. Play Fever in OT because he can skate.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Doesn’t Ovy need some more OT goals?

make it so….

Can Orlov skate for five minutes?

 

[Holtbyisms]

Why the f*** was Sheary out with Dowd and Hathaway to try and salt the game away? AJF is a superior defensive forward and a penalty killer.

I was just thinking I’d start Orlov…

Just tuning in guys, grats to OV for passing Jagr, 3rd all time!

These kind of stats are always misleading. It's an example of selection bias. Of course the team is going to do well when you only look at games where [insert player here] scores, because you're only looking at games in which a positive thing happened. To use a ridiculous example, Capitals are also undefeated when their goalies get a shutout.

Except when the goalie records a shutout the team can't lose. If player X scores a goal they can.

 

[Corby78]

Really slap shot from the top of the circle???

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Kuzy flying!

 

[Corby78]

Varly stealing this now

 

[Carlzner]

Kuzy is really something

 

[Capitals40]

Varly has been terrific this ot

 

[Firsov99]

Varly isn’t making it easy.

 

[Corby78]

Well that’s the best I’ve seen is look in OT

 

[tycoonheart]

Nice of 74 to randomly give up the puck.

 

[Fallschirmyager]

Carlson needs to be sat for a game. Clearly he's tired and can't give full effort.

 

[TheLegendOfPatPeake]

Varly was unreal.

What is VV’s record in shootouts?

 

[HTFN]

Probably the best OT (without a goal I guess, since I guess that’s technically better even if it can look iffy) I’ve seen them play this year

 

[twabby]

Fun game. Give Ovie some big help at the deadline.

 

[Corby78]

Coin toss time

You can lose in a 0-0 shootout and still get credit for a shutout.

But, as I mentioned in that post, I was using a ridiculous example to demonstrate my point. It was intentionally hyperbolic to help people understand the concept of selection bias.

 

[troyerlaw]

Oof, nicky

No it was a false equivalency. The losing goalie in the shootout doesn't get a shutout.
