Neech Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Nightmare scenario in Vancouver as it sounds like Pettersson wants out like Tkachuk did from Calgary. One of HuGort's toughest tasks is to offset all the extra baggage of playing in a Canadian market and to make stars want to stay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of HuGort's toughest tasks is to offset all the extra baggage of playing in a Canadian market and to make stars want to stay. Is there any evidence he wants out, though? All we've really heard is 1. He wants to be on a winning team 2. He doesn't want to talk contract until the season is over. Insiders have reported that he doesn't like all the speculation and chatter about his contract, suggestive of a guy who isn't crazy about an amped-up media environment; but it doesn't follow that that will be the deciding factor. If I were a Canucks fan, I'd be concerned...but not panicking just yet. (One thing that probably doesn't help is the shockingly high proportion of fans who declare that "you can never win" with Petterson, that he's not a complete player, that he's not worth a massive contract, etc. We should remember that this is the same city whose "fans" whined non-stop about "the Sedin sisters" all the way up to 2011 🙄).

alfredoh2009 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I didn’t realize the expected goals for the Habs- Yotes game yesterday was predicting an ARZ win Recap of yesterday's games.

Montreal was a 500 team for a long time but huge on the minus side. The plus/minus basically said Montreal won a lot of close games (they did in OT) but had some really bad ones. Not sustainable. Ottawa has obviously lost a lot of closer ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfredoh2009 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I like these two filtering handles: https://www.hockey-reference.com/leagues/NHL_2024.html the Simple Rating System Actual goal differential minus Expected goal differential : Habs are .500 at bad at 5-on-5, they suck on overall They complement well this graph: Recap of yesterday's games.

E.g., if I'm -25 and everyone else on my team is a +, that is probably telling us something meaningful about my suckage. Or its saying that you face tough opposition, and often are on the ice for the 6 on 5 with teams scoring ENGs against you a lot, or goalies have somehow been terrible when you are on the ice. My whole point is why even look at it, when there are plenty of websites that will give you xGF%. If you are actually sucking, it will show up in that stat (also with reference to the rest of the team). If the +/- is uniquely weird cause of something out of your control, then that will also show up. xG is so much better cause it counts many more events and a big sample size is less likely to be wrong than a small sample size which is +/- for an individual player.

I know Calgary wanted a first, but that still seems like a big haul for Tanev. Good work by Conroy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
