Your milkshake: I drink it
Corsi (5-on5, close)
Blues with "good" game (Corsi over 50): Everybody besides Bozak, Barbashev, Fabbri, Bortuzzo
Blues with "standout "game (CRel% over 10 and Corsi over 50): Schwartz, Petro, Tarasenko, Schenn, JayBo
Bruins with "good" game: Grzelcyk, Krug, Heinen
Bruins with "standout" game: Grzelcyk, Krug, Heinen
Observations: As usual, advanced stats do not tell the whole story. For example, I thought Bortuzzo has a fantastic game. However, he was out there for 6 Blues shots for and 13 shots against. I also thought Parayko has a stand-out defensive game and he's rated behind Edmundson.
Overall, it's an exact opposite script of Game 1 where the Blues absolutely dominated and deserved the win.
Heat map for the game
Observations: DEFEND THE FRONT OF YOUR NET, BOYS.
xGF % REL best players for team:
Blues: Schwartz, Schenn, JayBo, Tarasenko, Petro
Bruins: Krug, Carlo
Observation: Based on this advanced statistic, the Blues were even more dominate (compared to Corsi). However, it backs up Corsi and shows that our top players dominated and our Captain brought it last night and had arguably his best game of the playoffs.
As always, advanced statistics tell only a portion of the story. This part however shows the Blues were rightful winners of game 2.
PLAY GLORIA!
