Might just be a publicity stunt here. And if so, it's a heck of a move.

OR DID HE

You know who wouldn't look half bad as a Right Wing?

They've been found, individually paired up with the Czech supermodel bobbleheads being given away in the Pittsburgh Hustler club.

Trivia is Chris Kontos

I have no idea if it is, but I would guess that a high-danger chance exceeding .4 xGA is probably quite rare simply because goalies exist. We don't see many of these charts that say "4 HDCF, 2 xG", for example. It's usually pretty close to a .25 xG to 1 HDCF ratio Or put another way, there's a point where you're just dealing with outliers and the group doesn't matter much because the extremes are very rare.

Yep. Likely less threatening HDC, or Igor stole one or two real big ones (like, there's probably a .25 xG HDC and a .45 xG HDC and they get classified as the same)

Based on that, I would guess that the "threshold" for a high-danger chance is .25 xG on the play. Mid-danger is probably something like .1-.24 xG

He's taking the piss, mate. It's obvious this was a really well-fought win and a relatively even game.

Let's chat about a fun little series of realities... Jacob Trouba has missed five games so far this season. In those games, the Rangers have given up four goals, tallying wins against Ottawa, Colorado, St. Louis (shutout), the Devils, and the Hurricanes (shutout). In recent games, it's been obvious that Miller-Schneider is a very strong pairing, whereas Miller-Trouba has been, to put it mildly, a red hot mess. Trouba's absences co-occurring with Miller's best games and Schneider's ascension is a small sample size right now, but by the time Trouba's back, we'll have 10+ games of information to work with. So far, the early returns seem to be screaming that Braden Schneider is ready for much more responsibility, and Jacob Trouba might not be the best partner for K'Andre Miller. Is it time to talk about flipping Trouba and Schneider more permanently?

Oh, god no, he should not appeal. I don't think he'd be wrong to on the letter of the law so to speak, but fucks sake, we're trying to win a Cup. Shut up, adjust, and don't paint a bigger target on your back.

This is the thing that drives me nuts about the four games. Trouba got 2 for the same thing. Gallagher got 5. I'm sure somewhere, someone was just fined, and somewhere else, another got 3, someone got 1, hell, I'm sure someone got 6. I get a repeat offender penalty. I have no issue with this being a suspendable hit. I even understand tacking on a game for good measure, but like...can we get some consistency somewhere?

Usually you need to pay for the VIP for that kind of post-game treatment.

That, right there, is a playoff win.

Calling it now. Shesterkin gonna score tonight.

This third line can get it.

No, fuck that, get in a horse race with this team. I'll take Igor over anyone in a horse race.

Good god Kotchetkov.

$210. They're made by Fanatics and usually you just get an empty box.

He's like a sexy Jesper Fast.

Wennberg just works. He works, and works, and works.

No fucking way. NO FUCKING WAY

There is. The SoCal AHL teams all draw well, and SD is a huge metro area with very little pro sports coverage.

Let them try. This Devils team is softer than three ply with aloe. Trouba and Rempe alone will deal with them.
