Moving up in the world. Now we are just really bad at scoring goals as the season average, just not gutter tier anymore

Shoot many times, expect many goals and in 2024 get those goals.

Makes sense for us. We don’t really shoot the puck much and usually wait for high danger chances instead, so makes sense we’d be higher on shot quality for and a little lower on xGF
Of the bottom 13 in xGF, 12 are in the bottom 14 in actual GF. The only exception is the Wings, who are #8 in actual GF.

Number 3 in xGF and number 25 in GF.
Our finishing ability has been going downhill for the last 3-4 years. It’s in the gutter now.

Honestly, maybe I’m just too old, but can someone explain these stats to me please?
SupernovaPlus5
Well that settles it. We’re winning the Expected Stanley Cup
OneLessFool
Damn we must be fighting for a wildcard spot right?

Looks like the Devils must be having a great season! Now, to take a large sip of coffee as I check how the Vanacek/Schmid tandem worked out…

So what do you know Canucks fans who were saying we score a lot on low shots is because quality of shots were right.

Avs leading the league in GF and out-performing their xG despite having a black hole for a 2nd line all year.
Not sure whether it’s good or bad.

You might not expect us to score many goals, and we might score even fewer of them than you’d think, but those are going to be some really nice shots we take when we get em off
bellerinho
Detroit is very interesting. I admittedly don’t watch much Red Wings, are they a lucky team this year? These numbers would suggest they are right?
dylanisbored
Suck on that one nerds

Blues at the bottom of GF but in top 10 of quality is the bluesiest.

Aaand _that_ is why we’re somehow a playoff team

And Thomas is somehow on pace for around 88 points.

how are you ranking their girlfriends and x girlfriends? advance stats are dumb.

Please, I’m begging you, use our new logo! The mid 2000s one sucks so bad

Look at that shot quality baby! (ignore everything else)
Ewok_EWOKE
This really highlights Winnipegs defensive quality. Not top 10 in any of these attacking stats, but still one of the best teams in the league

This hits so hard…. I can’t cope any longer…..

Go Habs Go!

Calgary nearly tied for the middle of the pack is exquisite.

So it really was just all goaltending

I’m honestly shocked we aren’t worst. It felt like we scored 4 total goals in our first 12 games.
igonnawrecku_VGC
22nd in goals for, 19th in goals expected, 30th in shot quality? Those kinds of numbers clearly have the makings of a playoff team
KingEsoteric
I am stunned that the Jets, Avalanche, Knights, and Sabres have worse shot quality than the Kings. I felt like the Kings had to be in the bottom 7 or 8 teams because their xG has them up there but the results haven’t been outside of that hot stretch near the start of the season.

Considering that a vast majority of the league is within 0.3 goals of the median goals per game (3.15) is kinda stretching my brain, as that variance seems pretty small to me. If you’re an average team and you manage to score one more goal over the course of three games you’re now at the pace of an elite contender. Or, score one fewer goal every three games and you’re now a bottom-feeding joke of a team. That margin for error is so thin that it goes to show how hard it is to score goals at the NHL level.
Commander-Fox-Q-
Interesting that Colorado is leading the goals/gp category yet are really far down the list of shot quality. How is that happening?
Similarly on the opposite side is Washington with really good shot quality but near the bottom in goals/gp
FreshEclairs
I 100% thought you got your girlfriend and ex-girlfriend to rank teams.

Crazy how much the Sabres scoring dropped this year

I’m starting to suspect we’re not doing great this season

Oh, Ottawa…
Playoff level offense.
AHL level defense.
ECHL level goaltending.
Please don’t look at us
