Browsing through some hockey stats sites and stumbled on these nuggets. Are we bad? Or suffering from bad luck/injury? You decide…. I don’t think these stats include the Jets games. And the last one I threw in for giggles.

This is what happens when you let the analytics department build the team.  The team looks great but still loses.

I like some of the analytics... And they can tell you a lot, but you cannot draw absolute conclusions from them.
