The Advanced Stats Thread Episode VIII:

[Blue Blooded]

I'd switch Namestnikov and Spooner.

I'd prefer Buchnevich or Kreider switching with Spooner.

 

[Blue Blooded]

10/18 Isles had a CF% below 30 last night, nobody over 44. Justin Williams with a cool 26-3 in 5v5 shot attempts. Isles win 2-1 in OT.

The quintessential Carolina game.

 

[Machinehead]

Only saw the Preds empty net and Buch's goal. Charts fair or unfair vs eyes?



RIGHT AGAIN!

Seems pretty spot-on to me. Shattenkirk was better than everyone said he was.

 

[ManUtdTobbe]

My Eye test says that Smith and Fast were better then the charts say ;P Chytil was good in the OZone but had issues getting there, maybe same applies to Fast (same line) so that's why he's down and my mind has bias because of the fact he looked good in the OZone.

I thought KZB looked kinda flat, mostly because Kreider was poop. Starc Maal was atrocious with the puck.

But...but...but...HOW DARE YOU DEFILE THE SACRED KZB LIKE THAT

 

[Blue Blooded]

Just checked Crosica for the xGF stats. Jesper Fast put up a 74.26 xGF% on a 38.71 CF%!? Also snuck in an ixGF/60 of 2.36.

Noticed this as well. Hank made what, 30 saves, and came away with a negative GSAA. Were Nashville's chances that weak?

It felt like they were pretty average to me, some pretty good ones, some ‘just throw it at the net’ kind of stuff, but I don’t recall seeing a missed tap in or something like that

Feel like the xGF doesn’t really match up with what happened last night. Hank faced a lot of odd-man rushes because of bad plays by us and forced turnovers by Nashville.

This is some Brendan Gallagher-tier shit right here:

Get a room. Also, f*** that twerp, Brendan Gallagher.

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

Sam Gagner is yet another unspectacular but very useful player who is now a pariah because he doesn't fit the bottom six paradigm.

Sam Gagner: Literally scores 50 points on the 4th line.

HFBoards posters, hockey fans, and NHL GMs: This guy is a top-6 or bust kind of player. If he’s not playing in your top-6, he’s a healthy scratch or he’s playing in the minors.

Why are all three Nashville goals in the Rangers zone when the empty netter was shot from the Predators zone?

Because NHL pbp data is notoriously terrible and the adjustments I try to make to the locations are not always foolproof.

There definitely were a couple like that. The most obvious was a 3rd period 2 on none where if the rebound wasn't mishandled would have been an open net.

Obviously I can only base my opinion on obervations (eye test) and really only the ones in front of me. I only (clearly) saw 1 period with Rangers chances and 2 with Preds chances but despite that the Preds had a lot of odd man rushes and seemed to get chances on them, with Hank up to the task. The rangers had a few as well but didn't execute.

Wonder what Hayes did to get such low ice time tonight

And nice to see pretty much everyone above the line in shot attempts

 

[Machinehead]

We'll get 'em next time.

Did you see where he was on SF’s charts? He was terribad.

 

[YoSoyLalo]

Chytil’s numbers look about right from what I saw, he was tremendous

Yeah I saw that

I guess Quinn is sticking to his guns which is...refreshing

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

Chytil’s numbers look about right from what I saw, he was tremendous

There was one shift where his line got stuck in their own zone for a while, and when they got it out he tried to make some play at the opposite blue line and turned it over and they couldn’t change, hank ended up covering the puck for a whistle and there was a shot of Hank giving Chytil a lil business (probably about making sure the puck gets deep so they can change) that I’m surprised no one brought up in the GDT. Other than that I thought he was great, he looked the fastest on the team all night

If they lose, they lose.

That was humiliating. I was hoping to leave games like that behind us.

 

[DanielBrassard]

I don't know what the hell happened after the 1st period. Really dissapointing how they got destroyed after a solid 1st period.

Pionk continues to be an anchor possession wise, and I've been so dissapointed with Buch so far.
