Oh, and McDavid's goal from behind the net - wasn't that off a rebound from a Draisaitl shot right in front?
Every single time I see HD scoring chance numbers, my first thought is always: that's not what I just watched.

Good post. If the data behind the metrics is inaccurate, the metrics themselves are as well.
