That would be part of the 8.5% that falls into the "other" bucket 😉

You are actually right...downloaded the data from Moneypuck and there is a very strong correlation between save percentage dropping and high danger chances increasing. | Season | Save % | Goals/Game | Shots/Game | xG/Shot | High-Danger Shots/Game | Avg GSAx (per 60) | | :------- | :----: | :--------: | :--------: | :-----: | :--------------------: | :---------------: | | 2010-11 | 0.913 | 5.48 | 30.8 | 0.088 | 7.9 | +0.12 | | 2011-12 | 0.914 | 5.32 | 30.7 | 0.087 | 7.8 | +0.15 | | 2012-13 | 0.912 | 5.44 | 30.1 | 0.089 | 8.0 | +0.10 | | 2013-14 | 0.914 | 5.46 | 30.6 | 0.089 | 8.1 | +0.13 | | 2014-15 | 0.915 | 5.46 | 30.4 | 0.089 | 8.2 | +0.14 | | 2015-16 | 0.915 | 5.42 | 30.2 | 0.089 | 8.3 | +0.11 | | 2016-17 | 0.913 | 5.53 | 30.3 | 0.090 | 8.5 | +0.09 | | 2017-18 | 0.912 | 5.94 | 31.8 | 0.091 | 8.7 | +0.06 | | 2018-19 | 0.910 | 6.02 | 31.5 | 0.092 | 8.8 | +0.04 | | 2019-20 | 0.910 | 6.04 | 31.3 | 0.092 | 8.9 | +0.03 | | 2020-21 | 0.907 | 6.23 | 30.7 | 0.093 | 9.0 | +0.01 | | 2021-22 | 0.904 | 6.36 | 31.1 | 0.094 | 9.2 | +0.00 | | 2022-23 | 0.904 | 6.60 | 31.9 | 0.095 | 9.4 | –0.02 | | 2023-24 | 0.903 | 6.73 | 31.6 | 0.096 | 9.5 | –0.03 | | 2024-25* | 0.900 | 6.81 | 31.8 | 0.097 | 9.6 | –0.04 | The correlation is -.91486 between Save Percentage and High Danger Shot %, meaning as high danger shots increase, save percentage drops. A perfect correlation is 1.0 or -1.0 in this case, since it's a decrease, so this is extremely strong. Essentially, this shows that 91.5% of the the variance in save percentage is caused by high danger shot quality, leaving only about 8.5% to other things.

Nobody is watching anyway, so maybe it doesn't matter? I mean an NFL week 3 pre-season game likely gets higher ratings than the Stanley Cup Finals.

There is no way the promise was "You play like dog crap, put up bad numbers for early 1980's goalies, play worse every opportunity you are given and don't worry, you will still have a spot here, accountability be damned!"

What's the interest rate they are charging? Did the Amerks fight for a better rate due to the Fed's lowering interest rates again?

He is young still...goalies typically take a while to develop, so he should realize that and stop trying to rush the process and just focus on improving and being ready when he gets called up and given a chance. He posted an .872 and 4.12. Sorry, I gave him too much credit in the initial post. It was an .872 not an .878. Those are the results, I don't care about any mental ***** about why or how or whatever else on where they came from. He simply wasn't good enough when he was given the chance. Period. Your job as a pro is to be ready when your number gets called and to do your job, and he failed repeatedly to do that. That being said, he is still very young and most goalies typically aren't ready until 25 or 26, so he very well could be exceptional within the next 2 or 3 years as he is only 23.

It DOES matter because Levi has had full control to change that HIMSELF and has repeatedly puked all over himself when given the opportunity. Not only has he sucked but he has gotten WORSE every chance he has been given. An .878 and 4.12 last year? Is that a joke? That wouldn't even cut it in the era of Grant Fuhr when good goalies were routinely at .900 or lower. He wants to be mad? Fine. Be mad at your damn self and hold yourself accountable for sucking Saskatchewan Moose C0ck when given the chance to allow them to do something they have been dying to do from Day 1.

Greenway is back...looking forward to seeing how he does

time to slap these punks and put them back in their place.

I only watch the WS...just seems like every at bat can be high drama and you never know when it's going to happen.

When you continually post worse numbers every chance you are given and last year posted complete trash numbers of .878 and 4.12, you have nobody to blame but yourself. He has every chance to take the job...actually perform when given the opportunity instead of puking all over yourself.

They can say no. What needs to stop is players who have performed like dog shi!t (and getting worse each time) when they get the chance repeatedly to earn the job acting like they are being held back.

I mean does it really matter in terms of faceoffs? Outside Norris who was legitimately excellent at them until seriously injuring himself by taking one inexplicably, nobody on this team is good at them. Perhaps his length could be an asset and help shut down passing lanes?

Greenway should help in a lot of situations...I've always really like his game.

Dodgers may be the better team on paper, but they sure as hell don't look like it. Jays have been the better team on the field through 4 games.

with the Fresh Nozak!

He already had multiple chances and the only time he did well was when he had to fight for something. When he was made "the guy", his play fell off a cliff and it looked like he was unprepared, unfocused and was not mentally sharp.

Firing squad? Concrete Shoes offshore of the Erie Basin Marina late one night? Kidnap him and move him to a safe house where nobody will ever find him? Banish him to Siberia? In all seriousness, dump him for whatever you can get.

Probably at the Jays game

Yeah, Downtown PartyTown bumping the beats pre-game!! REminds me of listening to Energy 108 coming live from Guvernment

there is NO level of mercury that is safe for your body. And trust me you don't want to have mercury overload...it's often called the "Great Imitator" because it can mimic many other issues like MS, various autoimmune diseases, etc.. I actually had that due to a mouthful of old metal fillings that have mercury in them that were cracked and "leaking" mercury every time I took a bite of food. Got them all out via a holistic dentist, had to undergo a lengthy chelation process to get rid of the mercury stores in my body and am feeling pretty great now still about 15 years after all of that. With fish, the main problems are the larger fish that eat smaller fish that eat smaller fish, etc...that causes a bio-accumulation of mercury in the large fish, like tuna who gets all the mercury from the other fish. Tuna is OK once a week or so, but other smaller fish like chub mackerel(not king which is among the highest for all fish), sardines or salmon are safer to eat.

there actually are studies that show just that actually... A review found that youth who specialize most (i.e., focus on one sport, train > 8 months/year or quit other sports) were 81% more likely to experience an overuse injury than those who played many sports. https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/lifestyle/healthandwellness/665293/sport-specialization-tied-to-increased-risk-of-injury-in-kids-and-teens/story/ One large prospective study found that sport specialization was associated with increased risk of injury in girls (hazard ratio ≈ 1.31) and that total hours/week of vigorous activity was a strong predictor of injury in both sexes. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31555716/ In a case-control study of ~1,190 athletes aged 7-18, specialized single-sport athletes in individual sports had higher rates of overuse injury (44.3% vs 32.2%) and “serious overuse injuries” (23.4% vs 11.6%) compared to non-specialized athletes. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28351225/ In a review of youth sport specialization, risk factors such as playing >1 organized team, competing year-round, participating more hours/week than one’s age in years, and high degree of specialization were consistently found to increase risk of overuse injuries and lower-extremity pain. https://meridian.allenpress.com/jat/article/54/10/1040/420868/Health-Consequences-of-Youth-Sport-Specialization Some organizations note that kids who play the same sport year-round — especially without a break/alternate sport season — face more repetitive motions and stress on bones, tendons, growth plates, etc. https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/sports-injuries/youth-sport-specialization
