In my opinion.
And I am a huge proponent of advanced stats.
Overreacting to the first game of the year is always a good course of action though.

Yeah those stats are tough for what is game one of the season.
Easy to look at a 33% HDCF% and think that it’s brutal but That works out to 1 HDCF and 2 HDCA.
The biggest concern I’d have is that the main trend that continued is their inability to get to the danger area in the offensive zone.
Only giving up 2 HDCA actually isn’t that bad, it’s only being able to generate one great opportunity at 5v5 that’s the problem.
ComixZone cherry picked a little and left it out but the line had a corsi for rating of 50%, so in terms of shot attempts they were even. And as mentioned only giving up 2 HD chances against is actually pretty stout defensively for that line.
But Biggest issue remains and has for the last 18 months or so now - they just aren’t able to generate chances in the high danger area at 5v5.
