Kylington and Tanev are both exemplary right now and we're only 24 games in, but so far Oliver has the slight edge over Chris on all of these categories:

Expected Goals For %
Goals For%
Corsi For%
Scoring Chances For%
High Danger Corsi For%
Fenwick For%
EV Shot Suppression


He is also propping Chris up a bit in several of these as well.

With or Without You:

Corsi For %
50.0 - Tanev without Kylington
51.9 - Kylington without Tanev
55.1 - Together

High Danger Corsi For %
46.4 - Tanev without Kylington
50.0 - Kylington without Tanev
64.4 - Together

Shots For %
50.0 - Tanev without Kylington
50.1 - Kylington without Tanev
54.1 - Together

Goals For %
40.0 - Tanev without Kylington
75.0 - Kylington without Tanev
62.5 - Together

Haven't they played exclusively together this year? Can't imagine the sample size is huge of them being apart. Maybe after a PK but interested to know TOI apart for those stats to really mean anything I think the sample size has to be significant.

Agreed. He doesn't seem to Keenan a player in-game for mistakes, but it will influence his decisions for next game mostly. I think that's kinda fair / unique compared to other coaches

I don't see the turnovers you speak of, I see a high energy guy with no other skill. The minors are full of guys who bring the exact same thing. I would much rather get someone who brings the same thing plus some ability to create offence.

With all due respect, you aren’t looking. Pitlick disrupts plays. He rushes passes, gets sticks on passes, angles players out. He plays a checking game that a typical AHLer just doesn’t know how to do.

Someone suggest a background for the PGT Yanet vid.

With all due respect we will disagree on this. I see him missing passes, running around while accomplishing nothing, and has no nose for the net.

The Bellagio fountains with Ovechkin swimming in the background.

Only one of those things has anything to do with what I was talking about. And you are missing a lot in “not accomplishing anything”. He is doing exactly what Sutter coaches in his pressure system.

There have been a ton of predictions in game threads and after games that Sutter is going to bench this or that player because of some mistake in the game (Zadorov in a lot of cases). It hasn’t happened.

[Heavy Jack]

Sutter has been pretty even keeled thus far but you can also tell he comes with expectations for everyone. I think what’s crazy is that for damn near the most part of the season the team has shown up with not much nights off taken. Sutter is careful to be over-lauding of the team or specific players as well only in certain instances which is great too, when he’s asked about any one player and how they are performing or how they’ve looked good he responds with they are playing as expected. He truly has this whole team bought into a culture and a formula that he knows is proven to be successful and it’s an incredible sight to behold. Keep it rolling boys!

Hoping the vegas feed is available.

SN cuts out the second the game ends to run the Oilers show, they try to squeeze in a couple flames highlights if they have time after meticulously analyzing a non call on McDavid.

Let's put some more padding on our lead over the Grease! GO FLAMES!!

[Heavy Jack]

Just hoping it’s not Cassie tonight if it has to be the SN feed Lol

I’ve really enjoyed Greg Millen when he does the colour!

I don't believe the threesome of Dube - Richardson - Pitlick has been put together previously.

I don’t think so. The really effective 4th line was Lucic, Richardson and Lewis.

I would love that and I hope the team goes out and acquires a player with those qualities at the deadline. Someone who can give you 10-15 goals.

Well that and another real scorer.

This team has potential and I want to see them push their chips in.
