The most ridiculous statistical anomalies so far

[Not So Mighty]

Let´s try to have some fun and mention some crazy comparisons here..

Something like

"Matt Beleskey has as many goals as Kopitar, Hossa & Yakupov combined"


etc..

I came in here to say something exactly like this. Beleskey is scoring at a completely irresponsible rate. I'm so glad I picked him up as a FA after his third goal.

His career high in 5 seasons is 11 goals. He potted number 14 tonight and is on pace for nearly 40. It's not going to happen, but wow.

 

[Mulletman]

John Tavares is only 24th in scoring and he's falling fast. He only has 16 Points in his last 24 games...

 

[bsjezz]

bo horvat, in his first year in a professional league, has taken 160 faceoffs and won 56% of them.

 

[Kokoschka]

useless cap albatross Rick Nash is over PPG

 

[jacks*]

Brendan Gallagher Has as many goals as Yak has points.
David Desharnais has more pts than Anze Kopitar,
Aaron Ekblad, has more pts than Ryan Suter,Shea Weber,Drew Doughty....
Thomas Vanek is on a 50 pt pace.

 

[Will Hunting]

Also, there is a 1.5M-ish forward in this league who will finish this season with more mumpses than goals.

 

[Smart Dunsparce*]

Leafs are 7-1-1 in their last 9 games.

 

[CanadianPensFan1]

The Penguins injuries but thats starting to be less an anomaly and more status quo lol

Voracek being on pace for 110pts

 

[TheGroceryStick]

He just did that, analyzed what he saw and made rather sensible prediction based on it.

Let's look at advanced stats for Toronto:

sf% 23th
ff% 24th
cf% 26th
pdo 4th

Looks like his eyeball-test is backed by stats. Toronto has been dominated and been lucky. They will collapse like last year.

Haha,
Everyone gets sour when the Leafs string together some games.
Always have to go into the past to show their detest. (even if it's subtle)
Cause, ya know, the Leafs are the only team to win a game they were outplayed in.

 

[Paul4587]

Frederic Andersen has more points than Clayton Stoner.
Tampa Bay has scored more than twice as many goals as Buffalo.

 

[Karlsson2Turris*]

Bobby Ryan is on pace for 16 goals.
Thomas Vanek is on pace for 9.
Anze Kopitar is on pace for 16 too.
Marian Hossa is on pace for only 15.
Jason Spezza is on pace for 15 too.

Meanwhile...

David Clarkson is on pace for 23 goals.

Tyler Seguin this year has more points than everyone he was traded for...combined....AHL and NHL....

 

[East Coast Bias]

The Islanders are 12-2 in 1 goal games. They are 8-0 in OT/SO games.

 

[Cursed Lemon]

Dallas Eakins has won 4 games vs western conference playoff teams in his coaching career thus far.

Wait. Seriously?

 

[sharks9]

Anaheim hasn't won by more than a goal since October 24th and they're 1st in the league

 

[StoneHands]

The Flyers are bad, yet they still have 12 forwards playing ahead of Lecavalier.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

The Islanders are actually good.

 

[KingTux]

Tyler Seguin this year has more points than everyone he was traded for...combined....AHL and NHL....

Omg hahahahaha

 

[1865]

The Flyers are one point off a top-3 pick but have two players in the top 10 for points.

However, the reason for this is that over the past fourteen games, the Flyers have only 4 ES goals that weren't scored or assisted by Giroux or Voracek.

 

[Michael Farkas]

Dallas Eakins has won 4 games vs western conference playoff teams in his coaching career thus far.

Dallas Eakins vs. the Campbell Conference

vs. Anaheim: 2-4-0
vs. Arizona: 1-6-1
vs. Calgary: 2-2-2
vs. Chicago: 0-4-0
vs. Colorado: 1-2-0
vs. Dallas: 1-3-0
vs. Los Angeles: 0-4-1
vs. Minnesota: 1-2-0
vs. Nashville: 3-2-1
vs. San Jose: 2-5-0
vs. St. Louis: 0-3-1
vs. Vancouver: 2-6-1
vs. Winnipeg: 1-1-2

Might be off by a game here or there, but I think it's on point...

 

[noelllll*]

Leafs are undefeated when scoring fist AND when going into the 3rd with a lead.

Very uncharacteristic, as we all know too well

 

[Shwaguy*]

the Leafs have been really lucky lately. they'll come crashing down at some point and it will be fun to watch.

If by lately you mean against Detroit then yes.


Or just keep box score watching.

 

[Shwaguy*]

The Flyers are one point off a top-3 pick but have two players in the top 10 for points.

However, the reason for this is that over the past fourteen games, the Flyers have only 4 ES goals that weren't scored or assisted by Giroux or Voracek.

Hanifin seems like he'd be a fun/good fit in Philly.

 

[LetsGoBLUES91]

Oilers have 1 win against Western conference teams.

Yap.

Also Ryan Millers W-L record compared to his actual stats is crazy.

 

[LetsGoBLUES91]

Who called Toews the best player in the world?

An insane amount of people have made that claim.

Also, it's amazing how bad the Sharks are at beating truly poor teams. They are abysmal against the bottom teams in the league compared to what everyone else has been able to do.

The fact that they are in the thick of it for a playoff spot still is impressive.
