Haha no worries thanks for looking into it! It caught my eye because of this

@evolvingwild.evolving-hockey.com - noticed this peculiarity with the GAR data. I’ve never seen such a small range across a team with this sample size. Any thoughts on what might be contributing to the clustering here?

As measured by @evolving-hockey.com's 5v5 xGF%, DET has a top-6 forward line in DeBrincat-Larkin-Raymond and a top-3 D pairing in Edvinsson-Seider

Have all the coaches in the Pacific Division simply agreed to take every close game to overtime?

(Noting that there have only been 16 Pacific Division matchups this year)

Revisiting this article of mine re: shots on goal/missed/blocked

Since the NHL reportedly moved to using chip tech for event recording (reportedly for 23-24), ~8% of shots that were previously recorded as on goal are now recorded as blocked or missed

The Red Wings currently rank 10th in the league in 5v5 xGF% (via @evolving-hockey.com). This would be their best 5v5 xGF% since 2012-2013

While the point totals aren’t there for Mo, I’d argue that he’s still had a tremendous overall start to the season.

- 9th amongst defensemen in Goals Above Replacement (via @evolving-hockey.com)
- 53.5% 5v5 xGF%
- Wings are scoring 3.27 5v5 goals/60 mins with him on the ice

A couple of thoughts on the Red Wings’ improved penalty kill

Not in love with the look of this but visually, a way to see just how young this Wings roster is compared to the last two seasons
October 28, 2025 at 2:57 AM
It’s been a week and it’s only Wednesday. Thank god for Red Wings hockey
October 22, 2025 at 10:40 PM
Time to give some love to Dylan Larkin, national media. 11 points in the first 6 games and currently ranked as the 4th best forward by Net Rating (model by @domluszczyszyn.bsky.social, visual from @hockeystatcards.com)

if you’re a visual person…that gold line going straight up for Tampa in the 3rd period is basically the reason
October 18, 2025 at 2:11 AM
Every single DET player has an even strength xGF% >55%. That’s incredible
October 18, 2025 at 12:53 AM
Detroit is absolutely suffocating Tampa at 5v5 through 2 periods.
