Clearly the biggest reason you are getting dominated 9-4 on the shot clock.

LOL at dominated.

 

[LeafGm]

Damn...a goal post away from Matthews tying it up.

 

[hockeylover]

Ugh. So close.

you are weird.

 

[mbow30]

They all stopped skating. Brutal.

 

[zeke]

Stop

yeah no.

 

[Aberdeen]

Our power play has looked way better.

 

[hockeylover]

You know... not that bad of a loss really.

 

[LeafGm]

Ach. They deserved better tonight. So many golden opportunities to tie it up.

 

[Jeremy]

Pretty enjoyable game. Another learning experience.

 

[Metalleaf]

Enroth was fine tonight, Dubnyk was better...and lucky

 

[zeke]

goalies not making saves aren't "learning experiences" for the rest of the team, unfortunately.

 

[CRL]

First regulation loss

.874sv% on the season.

can't win with goaltending like that.

Our team defense is horrible at times.

Growing pains for the young guys sure but our defense is pretty bad.

 

[BeLeafer]

Good overall game from the buds. They have a bit too much ebb and flow each game, but it's to be expected with the large number of rookies and guys playing together for the first time.

Dubnyk stole the win for Minnesota thought. Make no mistake about it.

And, yeah, **** you Staal. I posted it earlier ... this ******* always has a good game against the Leafs.

Auston Matthews - GP 4, G 5, A 1, Pts 6
William Nylander - GP 4, G 1, A 4, Pts 5
Mitch Marner - GP 4, G 1, A 1, Pts 2

Not bad for the big-3 so far.

Kind of funny the numbers are the way they are though---I think Marner's been the best of the three.

do you have a problem saying a guy that got a hatrick had a good game?

or 7 scoring chances?

or if he had 10 shots on net?

If there is an extreme Corsi example of a game like that, I'd probably just nod and smile. I mean, 3 goals, 7 scoring chances or 10 shots are multiples of what an average game is. A 35% CF% night, or a 65% is a small number of Corsi interactions either way. Well within the powers of luck to award to a player. You don't see a whole lot of lucky hat tricks, lucky 7 scoring chance games, or lucky double digit shot games.

So sure, I'd say those were good games, they're so far from average that luck is unlikely to be the driving force there...if a player had a 75% or better game, or a 25% or worse game, with those numbers really unlikely to be lucky/unlucky either way, I probably wouldn't argue about it being used as an example of a dominant game.

So to answer your question a little bit more clearly...if we can control for luck, or at least be fairly certain that the numbers weren't based on luck, okay.
