[Gambatese] Diving Into the Numbers Behind the Devils’ Post-Olympic Offensive Breakout

Turns out you score more goals when you have fast players that can beat defenders in transition than trying to do controlled, slow breakouts and taking low danger perimeter shots. Embarrassing waste of a season.
Good stuff! Can’t say I can complain, given the results of this stretch – the coaching staff can help free up the defense a little by not harping on them for risky passes, but the onus still remains on the forwards to improve their shot quality.
