I see everyone else complaining about Mo but watching the games he always looks good to me but just seems unlucky and it certainly matches my eye test.

Reilly truly is awful, huh?
OEL not as good as it feels like.
The only break I will give Rielly is that most of the time he is paired with Carlo or Myers. Both of them can’t break the puck out of the zone to save their lives so they just pass it to Rielly to do it. That causes opposing players to just focus on Rielly cause they know he will get the puck causing a turnover. I would like to see him with another player that can actually move the puck. The pairing with him and OEL always seem to do really well.
Damn Myers is having a rough year, was last year better? He didn’t seem nearly as bad to the eye test, wonder if the stats backed that up as well.
I miss Tanev
Reilly should not have been resigned. He’s been the major problem with this team for a long time. He’s a number 4dman treated like a number 1D.
One of the things models can’t track is pre-shot puck movement. A one-timer off a pass across the center of the ice is one of the hardest shots for a goalie to stop, regardless if it comes from a high/medium/low danger part of the ice.
On-Ice Expected Goals% is based on the amount of shots the team allows from certain areas of the ice vs the shots the team takes from those areas. If you’re on the ice for alot of these one-timer goals you’ll have a an On-Ice Goals% lower than your On-Ice Expected Goals%, because you’re allowing the opposing team to pass the puck around easily.
he’s not unlucky. He misses assignments and leaves guys wide open, leading to goals. All the time.
