ANA @ DET - GAME 4 - 8:00 PM 5/6

[Zwings40]

Quincey and Smith are on the ice right after that goal. They were the result of that goal... both standing around...
No idea why Babcock kept them on the ice after

KRONWALLED!

"You got Kron-walled" chant LOL

I disagree.

They are way way way worse than their record shows this year.

Check out some fancy/advanced stats if you care. They grossly overachieved the whole season.

If they get past the Wings (they really shouldn't have), they're toast the next round.

I'd say that is mostly correct, except with only a 48 game schedule in place, those Fenwick numbers and shooting percentages may not regress to the mean as they statistically should. I wouldn't say they're way worse, just a little bit lucky statistically speaking.

Penalty to Detroit, first of the game for either team.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

1-0 Ducks after 1.

Not much to say. It'd be nice to score our first goal at home sometime soon.

Oh, is this another bullshit Corsi and Fenwick conversation-starter about unsustainable shooting percentages? Because I'm not really interested in reading math about why the team who went 3-0 against the Blackhawks this season is really a bottom-eight club.

 

[sherbert1421]

Wings played a solid period and still losing. Not a good sign

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Yes, please. Ducks are really not a great (good?) team...

Yes, they are. You know when they weren't a good team? 2009.

Detroit played a decent period with the exception of the Defense having their routine lapse(this one on Quincey and Smith). We need to get a goal and Howard needs to stand on his feet for us to win. He hasn't had a spectacular game yet this series.

Your hockey team sucks because of math!

I'm kidding. You guys were, like, fifth best in the league. Just a few spots below New Jersey. Yay, advanced stats!

 

[esls79]

Advanced stats were invented to show just how good the Red Wings were when they used to absolutely dominate puck possession. (Like we couldn't tell that by watching the game)

Glad you were kidding, otherwise I would have abacussed and called you a mathhole.

 

[Zwings40]

Looked like some extra theatrics on that bertuzzi hit, he barely hit him

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Looked like a pansy-ass call on Bertuzzi.

 

[sherbert1421]

Apparently the wings aren't even allowed to hit anymore

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Thanks, Perry! Needed that.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Hiller has been awesome.
