Take the Pens logo out and it’s 4 Canucks at the top 6
We’re really reaching the bottom of the barrel of data analysis huh.
PDO
Pretty
Dang lucky
Orcas
McLeod is gonna blow barn doors to kindling when he finds it. I just hope it’s with us. He’s a rush god who hasn’t found that last piece of the puzzle yet.
The real title of all these things should be “expected stats are not a perfect metric of on-ice success”. Which, of course they are not.
Not that there aren’t good players on the “unlucky” side, but compare those two lists. Clearly the group on the “lucky” side is better. Maybe it’s not luck then.
Why can’t other teams have the two luckiest players in the league as their top pairing? Are they stupid?
Yes, Ryan Reaves is “unlucky”.
Devil’s D in shambles
Hamonic being on the “lucky” list is horrifying.
Oh, so the Jordans are just unlucky. That makes more sense.
Terry…
Hughes team at #1 with 8 luckiest dudes
Hughes team at #1 with 5 unluckiest dudes
I trust the hockey gods to correct this🙏
I’m not really sure how to read these things, but I’m going to assume that it’s awesome that there’s so many Oilers on page 2
4 players in the bottom 15, and none in the top 35. Sounds about right
I *knew* there was a reason why Ryan Reaves’s elite offensive play was not showing on the score sheet.
Damn, Demko needs to chill!
I’m surprised Elias Pettersson isn’t on there, do you know about where he would be?
You’re saying Holl and Chiarot should be even worse? Fuck me.
Sanheim/York pair loading up to explode
Yep, Mario Ferraro is just unlucky. That’s the only explanation.
One Blue on the list, and it’s Colton Parayko at second-to-last.
That makes some sense. Parayko has been genuinely good this year. His back has finally healed, and he’s *by far* our best D. But the team sucks, and half the guys seem to be pre-gaming with Nyquil. Colton can’t do it alone.
Whenever a stat for the luckiest players has a lot of great ones as the luckiest and ONLY bums as the unluckiest you can bet your ass it doesn’t really show what it’s meant to show
Not surprised to see Beniers here..he has passed the eye test this year and has really picked it up lately but that slow start didn’t look like it was a skill issue.
Ryan Reaves isn’t “unlucky.” He’s bad at hockey.
Beauvillier was playing so “lucky” that he got traded to the Blackhawks lol
Canucks fans: “*chuckles* I’m in danger”
Cries tears of Alberta crude oil
raddysh and sergachev being the most unlucky(?), oof.
