You continually throw out garbage with no basis to back up your opinion but when I show you factual stats that prove you wrong you just laugh because that's all you can do, which goes back to you not really knowing what you're looking at.
It's ok, you love the game but you really don't know much about it, I get it, you're not alone. There's millions of people like you. - Pacificgem
I would throw out some laughing emojis, but that might get you riled up.
I watch the games, or at least I did, until March 3rd, and compared to what I was seeing, they don't always relate, nor do they have a good enough picture of a player breaking up a play, clearing the net, backbreaking, forechecking, putting on pressure in neutral zone etc. All of which the Canucks did very well last season, not so much this season, from what I have seen in limited amounts.

Those are all things captured in possession metrics. There’s too much individualism this year, which would indicate a fractured group. Quite frankly, most of their issues are because the coach can’t get them to play together and all the internal strife within the organization. I know it’s easy to say everyone had career years, but it’s just not true, Miller is the only one who had a career year that made a difference in terms of team success.

Those are not all captured in possession numbers, as they are mostly intangibles, which are not captured in any analytic numbers that I have seen.
But, you are entitled to your opinion, even though it is horribly flawed and I am entitled to my correct opinion
Biggest factor IMO. Management not bringing back Cole and/or Zadorov, or at least not identifying the right players to replace them with, was a huge factor. Read this about Cole this morning: - NewYorkNuck
Yep really comes down to they tried to cheap out on defense - I can only guess they figured they could stop-gap measure until a couple kids were ready. Defense looked bad on paper and has played perhaps even worse.
Sucks cause they added some good support pieces up front. Debrusk is scoring at a nice clip and obviously Sherwood is a huge bargain. Liked they brought back Blueger to keep that wicked third line with Garland & Joshua together. Hard to foresee a health diagnosis like that for Joshua.

Wrong, XGF is a metrics, are they the be-all-end-all, no, but Satiar Shah squashed this notion they aren't transitioning the puck well this year. Zadorov and Cole weren't some savant puck-movers.
Yes they need a top pairing dman but their problems lie in their individualism. They're standing still too much and they aren't shooting enough, and when they do shoot, they miss the net. They're not playing an unselfish game like last year. On top of that they have too many individual efforts that are leading to breakdowns on the defensive side of things, thus their poor GA.
He'd be crazy not to sign-up to play with Mackinnon & Makar for foreseeable future. Gonna be in the mix every year with those guys. Can see a Penguins style couple more cups awhile after their first one with that group.
They knew they couldn’t re-sign Byram so they dealt him. It will be interesting to see what he’s willing to sign for. He’ll be pushing the limit. - Shuswap Wap
Bryam had three concussions in his first couple seasons and was not a core piece.

Let me give you an example of how flawed analytics can be, we will use 2 different examples of players and 2 different examples of people entering input into the stats. Let's call these fictional stats entry people Reuby and the other one Lefty.
Now Reuby is known to not like player named Pouty, Lefty on the other hand likes Pouty, now Reuby watches the game differently than Lefty and sees some things that Lefty doesn't se, so Reuby enters different numbers than what Lefty enters.
Now we shall use a different player, let's call him Tyler. Now Lefty doesn't like him, but Reuby is okay with him. Lefty enters numbers that are different than what Reuby enters, as the 2 have already determined that they like/dislike a player, maybe even indifferent towards a player.
With that kind of mentality, which happens in the analytic world regularly, it is impossible to call stats factual.
