No Excuses No Limits! The mother fucking goddamn season thread

Yes it won't kill them. Yes he's nothing more than a 4th liner. But these small dumb decisions are sure adding up.

 

[hockeylover]

Haven’t looked at any numbers to see if I’m backed up by this but McMann is the 4th guy I’d get rid of out of him, Gregor, Kampf, Reaves.

 

[zeke]

Mcmann would need to clear waivers too.

Well Kampf is a C so he probably stays first, but yeah.

 

[Feyd]

Maybe Tre is finally making a move?

 

[Preston]

I miss the days when this was a data driven organization.

We better see a McMann straight up for Weeger trade announced.

 

[zeke]

I was looking at PK numbers and Gregor comes out looking good.

 

[zeke]

Nice. This upcoming leafs win will come with no excuses for the jets.

Did they already waive McMann? Did they have to do it by noon? How does it work?

 

[zeke]

Timmins out again and Benoit back to top 4 duty. No bueno.

This was almost going to be my favorite lineup of the season.

 

[Artnes]

That frustration is not a good sign

Leafs rank 3rd in xgf/60 on the PP, and were 1st for a while before this recent cold snap.

The biggest problem is definitely that Tavares isn't converting anymore. Since he's getting the bulk of the slot chances his expected shooting percentage is the highest on the top unit, but his actual shooting percentage is the lowest.

Using unblocked shot attempts percentage, not just shooting percentage


Player: Unblovked Shots - Expected % - Actual %

Tavares: 69 - 15.1 - 5.8
Nylander: 70 - 8.9 - 11.8
Matthews: 51 - 12.7 - 24.2
Marner: 23 - 13.0 - 23.8
Rielly: 18 - 8.6 - 9.0

So all of them hitting at significantly better than expected shooting percentage other than Tavares, who is way, way below his expected rates.

woooooof. so really, JT's lack of finish has been killing our PP. yikes.

Maybe Tre is finally making a move?

you are more optimistic than I

Lilly 3rd pairing, lol

Fuck off Sheldon

he has to put either Lilly or McCabe on the third pair if he's gonna bench Timmins cause of handedness. ugh.

or I guess Brodie, but we know he ain't doing that
