I prefer my eye test
my eye test says
1. mccabe is over-rated (He's young and I like his development to date.)
2. ror needs to drop to second line and give jack top line (I think its the plan, and less work will improve ROR's production).
3. we need fast lw'er for the top 2 lines as reinhart and okposo don't have wheels (Nylander is supposed to be pretty fast)
4. we need better outlet passes and antipin, guhle and player x should provide that (One day at long last we will get "player x" and poop will be good.)
5. we miss kalata for 4th line and pk (whatchu mean, "we," white man?)
6. if they trade kane, they better find 2 left winger this offseason because I doubt nylander will be ready to start the year (If we solve all the other problems we can live with this one.)
7. ennis and girgens are the wild cards IMO for the fall (El Paso). - homiedclown

“We don’t measure our offense or defense on whether or not the shot goes in,” Stevens explained. “We measure it based on what – not to get too analytics-based – but what the expected result would be, based on a season-full of percentages.
“So you might have a game where you shoot it terribly, but you got shots where your normal expectation would mean you would make a ton of shots. So that’s how we gauge how efficient we look on offense from an execution standpoint, and defense as well.”

Brad Stevens. Things a good coach should say - sbroads24
How many coaches would say otherwise? That's just common sense. You get 10 breakaways but 0 goals, you're obviously not going to say you sucked just because you didn't score.
