But do the underlying numbers support that? The goaltending affects pure pucks in net stats. They had to score 6 to beat the fucking Blackhawks last year. When you’re down by 2 goals against bad team - we know that skews numbers.
Do they have less rush chances this year?

As for the underlying numbers bit, yeah everything is down.
Looks like there’s a 1-2% in XGF% dip. And again me personally - I take the team with better goaltending and the same top 6 because it’s probably easier to upgrade bottom 6 than goaltending.
