1. Moving up in the world. Now we are just really bad at scoring goals as the season average, just not gutter tier anymore

2. Shoot many times, expect many goals and in 2024 get those goals.

3. Makes sense for us. We don’t really shoot the puck much and usually wait for high danger chances instead, so makes sense we’d be higher on shot quality for and a little lower on xGF

4. This must be 5v5

5. Oh, Ottawa…

   Playoff level offense.
   AHL level defense.
   ECHL level goaltending.

6. Please don’t look at us

   Of the bottom 13 in xGF, 12 are in the bottom 14 in actual GF. The only exception is the Wings, who are #8 in actual GF.

7. Number 3 in xGF and number 25 in GF.

   Our finishing ability has been going downhill for the last 3-4 years. It’s in the gutter now.

8. Y you talkin’ shit bro?

9. Honestly, maybe I’m just too old, but can someone explain these stats to me please?

10. Well that settles it. We’re winning the Expected Stanley Cup

11. Damn we must be fighting for a wildcard spot right?

12. Looks like the Devils must be having a great season! Now, to take a large sip of coffee as I check how the Vanacek/Schmid tandem worked out…

13. Atta boy penguinos

14. So what do you know Canucks fans who were saying we score a lot on low shots is because quality of shots were right.

15. Avs leading the league in GF and out-performing their xG despite having a black hole for a 2nd line all year.

    Not sure whether it’s good or bad.

16. You might not expect us to score many goals, and we might score even fewer of them than you’d think, but those are going to be some really nice shots we take when we get em off

17. Detroit is very interesting. I admittedly don’t watch much Red Wings, are they a lucky team this year? These numbers would suggest they are right?

18. Suck on that one nerds

19. Blues at the bottom of GF but in top 10 of quality is the bluesiest.

20. _scrolls and nods_

    _not surprised, scrolls to last page_

    Aaand _that_ is why we’re somehow a playoff team

21. And Thomas is somehow on pace for around 88 points.

22. how are you ranking their girlfriends and x girlfriends? advance stats are dumb.

23. Please, I’m begging you, use our new logo! The mid 2000s one sucks so bad
