Honestly, I don’t want to be the token *Advanced Stats Nerd*, but this team was top five in every puck possession and scoring chance category even when we were 2-9-1. We just had the worst 12 game run of puck luck I’ve ever seen as a fan. It was clear that if we could regress back to league average shooting and save percentages (instead of bottom two in both), we’d be a fucking wagon.
Confidence plays a huge part too, but this felt like it was coming eventually.
It’s honestly mind boggling. Even the most positive fan is lying to themselves if they thought they would climb back into the group this quickly. It’s not sustainable, but what a ride it’s been.
