Larsson cant block anymore shots as it will ruin his trade value for the trade deadline

Not all shots are created equal. The scope of a piece just digging into blocked shots but doesn't account for comparative shot quality to their opposition.

Their October success was built a fair deal on some luck, but also on the back of Tippett's slot protection system. Shots generated from outside the slot are FAR less dangerous and thus far less valuable than shots from the outside. Hence why their xGF thru many of the games was still within reason as they were still limiting chances.

As some cracks have begun to show lately, I'm not gonna suggest the discrepancy between shot share and expected goal share will continue, but it's not like examples of such success don't exist.

Sean Tierney's (https://twitter.com/ChartingHockey) tracking and visualization work illustrates the point pretty well. One such example:

You should ask the members of Degeneration X why they made it so popular.

Shawn and Hunter enjoy having Vince suck it.... why do you think they had Chyna ? She looked like a dude and had a clit that resembled a large penis.

Been awhile since you took up your hatred of Russell.

Kind of takey with him out of the line up with his newborn. Poorly timed anti Russell shot blocking blog.

Taylor Hall has had 8 coaches now in the last 10 years and has some pretty good lotto luck.....it’s all a coincidence tho he has nothing to do with any of it.....I’m down for trading a 1st and a top prospect for him then giving him a long term monster contract.....I can just count the cups now
