And drop 25 places in the standings?
- Der Kaiser

No....it explains there hot start.

Who do you think has a better chance at sustaining a good record. A team that's seemingly getting the bounces and shooting a lot better than anyone, or a team consistently putting more pressure on the opponent?

The Rangers also led the league in shooting % last year, but at 3% lower clip. They have good shooters, but are getting the bounces to start this year

so you play him 10-12 minutes and give him pp time


you should be more worried about risto and gorges on that goal

they are your minute men

I mean you're measuring the wrong thing.

If the stats work why are the Rangers 27th in the league CF%?

- Der Kaiser

Generally speaking though, good teams possess the puck. Can you at least agree on that? There will always be anomalies like the Rangers, and it's possible to play well without the fancy stats on your side. It's just that good fancy stats generally lead to sustainability and they are a good measuring tool for how good a team really is.

It's not really that "advanced" either.

The Rangers win despite not shooting a ton because they have good shooters. Easy explanation.
