Thread: New idea thoughts
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jacketsman61</b></div><div>Ok apparently you never paid attention this season at all. Korpisalo was selected as an all star this year. But got hurt and couldn’t play. So yeah, it wasn’t just the playoffs, although he really took his game up a notch. Korpisalo is probably the most under rated goalie in the trade or UFA market. The only reason Columbus is considering moving him is because Elvis is just as good and the pipeline is full of more good goalies coming.</div></div>

Do you really think I would say he was mediocre without stats and facts to back me up? In the playoffs, he was great, that's just a fact, but he wasn't that good in the season. Playing behind one of the best defensive teams in the league, he had a save percentage of only 0.911. His -8.94 GSAx was one of the lowest in the league as was his dFSv% of -0.64. He was worth 1.2 WAR which was only 36th in the league and he struggled with medium danger shots. The only reason he was an All-Star was because of a bunch of wins he got leading up to the game and the fact that CBJ didn't have anyone playing lights-out at the beginning of the season. He's still somewhat young and the playoffs showed that he could become a good goalie, but he just wasn't great this season.

Thread: The 2019-20 All Defensive Team From Each Team
I'm not sure what's going one here. I know for sure that SH points, takeaways and ice time are not the best way to judge a player's defence. If you factor in deployment and take into account the quality of teammate and competition, things are a bit different. Playing on the PK doesn't mean you're a good defensive player. Someone might get played on the PK because of a lack of better options like Zaitsev on the Sens. Overall, stats like xGA and CA and more advanced stats like EVD and the use of RAPM are more useful. If you take things into account and isolate a player, you can really see their defensive abilities. Guys like Risto, Zaitsev and Doughty were at the very bottom of the league in most defensive stats and guys like ZAR were at the top.
