If you watch Karlsson on the goals that get scored on, you'll see that he does literally nothing to prevent them. Like again last night. He did nothing to stop the guy and the goalie had no chance.

I know Ottawa's goaltending hasn't been overly good this season (which I said would be the case before the season started, suck it again, Spazzo) but Karlsson's ineptitude defensively doesn't help them.

Totally agree.
BINGO!

Only 5 full-time NHL players on their team have a positive Corsi%

The team is about 50% AHL calibre players. They suck because their roster sucks. They have 8 guys on the team that will be 30 or older as of February 1st., and only 3 that will be under the age of 25.

They're toast.

Something I saw the other day, EK has the lowest goalie sv% while he is on the ice in the NHL for D. (or something along those lines)
So basically the goalies are sucking ass and letting in a lot of goals while he (and others) are on the ice...while he has also gone cold in the scoring department.

He is partnered with OhDOyou who I am not sure is even an NHL caliber player anymore. thats not going to help.

You can debate whether you think D can affect a goalies SV%, but the consensuses in the stats universe is they dont, at least its not something that repeats, players have low one season then high the next. you cant really see a trend with it.

Ovechkin went through something similar one season..but magically rebounded and decided to care the next season and was better on D (or at least thats what we are told)

I don't know man. How can poor defensive play not affect a save%. It is as intuitively wrong as saying quality of competition doesn't affect corsi.

I dont think anyone is saying he is great defensivley. I saw the 2 goals he was on for.
He kinda bumped grabner before letting him go by and score. Soft play for sure.

the second he kinda got caught on a 2 on 1 when the Sens player fell along the boards and let the ranger get loose. he just stood there old school table hockey game style where the players can only spin around and not move forward or back.

maybe some of his mobility is gone from his injury who knows. something is not right with him.

- senstroll


This is the reason I think Ottawa does the right thing, and trades him. I just hope it isn't Toronto that gets him for 7 or 8 years at double-digits.

i agree.

and the evidence is there. crosby is one of many examples of players that can consistently effect pdo (combined shooting and save %).

Isn't forcing shots from the outside good defensive play. Creating shots, but those that are far easier to stop. thus a better save %.

Just a thought.

yes i agree with what you are saying in the sense that looking at specific example you can say the D had an effect. But over many games or a season it doesnt seem to be a trend for players. they can be very low one season and then very high the next. Its hard to show that a player has a big effect on it one way or the other consistently

Its the same as faceoffs, one faceoff in the last 10 seconds of a game in your own zone can be important to win. winning 52% vs 48% over a season is not a big issue

Karlsson On ice Sv%

13-2014 - 91.57
14-2015 - 92.38
15-2016 - 90.96
16-2017 - 92.75
17-2018 - 86.36

this season is absurdly low..based on the last several season..its hard to say thats all his doing

he has consistently been above 1.00, but so far this season he is .950 (really low)

If you look at his career its odd. in 2011-12 he had an OIsh% of 15.66 and PDO of 1.067

so far this season he has an OIsh% of 3.76

I have a hard time saying he affects the sv% ..his career he has a season low of 89.56 and high of 92.91 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

niemi really caused the pitts stats to be screwed up this year.

yeah, his impact is more in the offensive end.

but he's probably due to break out the 2nd half of this year

Agreed, but it is possiible that this past 4 weeks or so have been about the worst in his career.

It is definitely not all on him though. Their goalies have been bad all by themselves.

I didnt realize the sens were up 3-1 half way through the game last night
I turned on the radio and it was 6-3

Its pretty amazing that basically everything Spatso and Dopps criticized/made fun of the Leafs for Last season (blowing leads, Loser points and bad D) the sens are this season

oh and to top it off the Leafs were actually a good team and made the playoffs.. the Sens are a flaming dumpster fire

The Phaneuf situation sums up Sens management. Ship out bad money created by hockey ops. Bring back a terrible contract and player in decline. As a result they lose Methot in expansion. Now paying 9 million Canadian for a player that can barely play in today's NHL.

That assessment of the Phaneuf situation is 100% accurate and very painful for Sens fans.

I feel badly for them.
