Commentary
- When the Oilers learn to play hard from the first whistle, maybe they’ll win a few more of these types of games.
- No, that second period was not score effects. After two periods, the Score Adjusted Corsi was 57%. Score then and maybe it’s a different game.
- Better goaltending and that was a winnable game.
- Reffing. FFS. It’s embarrassing. Makes the game hard to watch.

Shot Type and Distance
SA, SF, SF% – Shots For, Against, %; DIST F, A – Average shot distance for and against; REB F, A – rebound shots for and against.
The average Hawks shot was from 39 ft away, while the Oilers shots averaged 32 ft away – the Oilers were 22% closer.

Distance of Unblocked Shots Allowed
New data display – showing the average distance of shot allowed and average ‘danger rating’ and Danger Fenwick rate per 60 for the defensemen and defensive pairings.
Sekera looked worse by eye than by DFA/60. Then again, he was paired with Nurse who was excellent. Fayne … not so good.

I dropped pairings with less than 2:00 min TOI, but these are what cause the difference between the individuals and the main pairings.
