You’d think then they’d feel they have plenty of statistical backing to go with a decision to let Levi develop in Rochester, pointing to Eric’s better AHL numbers as reason he should be up. How they are moving the goalies around just seems admittedly confusing to me. I guess it’s kind of what I was talking about, they feel Levi gives them their best chance to win, when a backup is in? But you’ve sort of talked me away from that stance to be honest and I more less agree with you at this point so..unless there really is some sort of agreement between Levi and the team to play at the NHL level. Adams should have an account here detailing this to us or at the very least be live tweeting about his thought process as much as other notable celebrities

Oh they definitely look great. Very impressive too considering almost everyone was calling for a rebuild. I just think this very easy extended stretch of games has also been a bit of a factor, too. I was also the guy clamouring for Hellebuyck if he was at all available when nearly no one else was so, I feel rather good in that as he’s been their best player I’m not sold on them as a playoff threat at all until I see it, the whole league tightens up defensively so with their advantage on that front somewhat mitigated I’m not sure their offence will get it done at that time, but it’s certainly wide open. You have to give them credit for an outstanding season thus far. Bowness needs some awards consideration

Columbus (28th) and Buffalo (26th) are tied for 5th (with Winnipeg (1st)) in 5 v 5 scoring. Ottawa (29th), is next. It doesn’t really seem to correlate to anything on its own, the defensive variable seems to MORE than offset it. Pretty interesting, tbh. Defensive ranks, 5 v 5 goals against? Winnipeg 1st Buffalo 23rd Ottawa 28th Columbus 31st If you had to guess the standings from a metric, take the inverse of goals against

This is the sort of thinking that’s unfortunately, almost subconsciously part of exceedingly low expectations being ingrained. There are assuredly multiple factors contributing to why the season has been a failure thus far: to try and boil it down to one factor and act like it’s “problem identified” would be a colossal mis-assessment. That’s where the low expectations come in. Our goals against is ranked 20th league wide. That’s not an issue? I guess it’s not, when if you get the perfect result you need from every position, you’ll finish 16th…which is sort of how we operate. If everything goes perfectly to plan and 6 players have career years at once, everything will be fine. It’s overall team D. It’s the power play. It’s even strength scoring (not specifically 5 V 5), it was the goaltending for the first 41 games..it’s the coaching..the record is reflective of several factors Multiple factors is how you get a 13 year streak when the odds are theoretically 50/50 every year
