SwampD Posted April 29, 2020 Report Share Posted April 29, 2020 (edited) Pretty interesting stuff. As per usual, with discussions using stats, I am left with some questions. He says that dumping the puck in just gives up possession, which is silly. He must have know that because he then says that we were actually 13th in the league at recovering the puck, but still at only 33% recovery. So, 67% loss of possession. My question is what is the turnover % when carrying the puck in. Unless it’s drastically different, then he’s just cherry-picking stats to make a point. Still an interesting read.

Using gifs of Joey to get you to read his ambiguous tweet is not “writing”. Whether he has a story or not we shall see. Whether his story is credible, who knows? He writes articles about the Buffalo Sabres and post them on websites. Call it what you want I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyldnwoody44 Posted April 29, 2020 Report Share Posted April 29, 2020 As soon as we have one winning (playoff) season, I assume all this will go away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t have numbers in front of me, but it’s pretty well established that carrying the puck in is more likely to lead to sustained offensive zone possession. Now, carrying the puck in is not always feasible and sometimes you just have to dump it in, but its much better to design a “system” with the goal of carrying it in as much as possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but if the numbers say that the Sabres were really bad at carrying the puck in, then it’s not a disconnect, it’s a change to plan B cuz plan A sucked.

Yeah, we went through these discussions with Bylsma too. It’s very chicken and egg. Do we suck at possession BECAUSE we dump it in, or do we suck at possession THEREFORE we dump it in. Two coaches now out of three that didn’t seem to trust this roster to successfully carry the puck into the o zone. And the one that did game plan carrying it in was a failure as a head coach. Not that the other two lit the world on fire..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfreeman Posted April 29, 2020 Report Share Posted April 29, 2020 So -- nothing in the article about tensions or disagreements between RK and JB? Just an observation that JB wants to the team to enter with possession, and the team in fact played more of a dump and chase game? What a BS clickbait move by the writer. Credibility diminished.

In general I like Chad, and think that he has interesting things to say, but I agree. Very clickbait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m gonna mostly agree. Shame on you, Chad! One more trick like that and we’ll be calling you Chet. I mean, I think he can plausibly defend that he didn’t intend to connote a personal conflict when he referenced a disconnect. But, that’s how I read it. Someone upthread intuited that this was going to be a stats-based inference piece, not a sourced piece.

I now have a better understanding for why Dahlin was so bad for chunks of the year. Any coach telling Dahlin to play dump and chase should be fired. "In Corey’s data, Dahlin had a carry-in per 60 minutes rate of 3.5 and a carry-in percentage of 55% in his rookie year. This season, the carry-in rate per 60 minutes dropped to 2.56 and a carry-in percentage of 34%." Fire the entire coaching staff, fire the gm, fire the scouting staff, and start the ***** over. This team is a nightmare and I will be spending 0 dollars on them until they stop being completely clueless.
