Post-Game Talk: SENS bringing the Hurricane to Carolina, Fri. 7:30 pm

Baseball is a game that lends itself well to analytics. Sometimes i find with hockey stats that the eggheads are trying to annalyze a game they don't understand. Look at xGF. i've posted a few times that if you want to know expected goals for just add up how many guys are saying after the game "**** i should have had that one" Take the Stone play tonight...he's saying "**** i shoulda had that one" but it wasn't a shot on net so it doesn't count in xGf

Yes that would have counted for xGF, xGF is base on shot attempts not shots. Only way a scoring chance would be missed by xGF is if the player held on or passed the puck an no shot was attempted. It's not perfect, as factors like goalie position aren't accounted for, but it would catch Stone's bad angle miss on the open net.

All I know is Jays pitching sucks

Couldn't help but feel a little sad after Ryan scored and the camera didn't pan up to the dads seats like with the other Ottawa goals.

Definitely, I had the same reaction.
