Congratulations to Justicebork, who is guaranteed 1st place after the Avs sweep. Bravo!
question for hockey fans: broadcasts spend a lot of time talking about faceoffs and faceoff win percentage but it feels like it has a pretty minor impact on the game
do the advanced metrics support the emphasis on faceoffs on the game?
Trouba pulled his only move, elbowing somebody right in the fucking face
Not all face-offs are the same. One at neutral ice isn't the end of the world. One in your defensive end when you're trying to kill a penalty (or vice versa) is pretty important.
Short version is that faceoff wins lead to time of possession, which leads to scoring opportunities.
I feel like I've just received a Mike Tyson punch to my gut. Especially only 21 seconds after Frank the Tank found Glory.
Meanwhile, Corey Perry is participating in a third straight Stanley Cup Final...with his third team.
Shockingly, this has happened before: Marian Hossa did it with Pens-Wings-Hawks in the late aughts.
