6 Cups

18 games into 24/25:

Record: 9-7-2
SH% (all situation): 8.33% (2nd worst)
SAV% (all sit): 0.875 (3rd worst)
PDO (all) : 0.958 (lowest in league)


18 games into 23/24:

Record: 5-12-1
SH% (all situation): 8.82% (5th worst)
SAV% (all sit): 0.863 (worst in league)
PDO: 0.951 (2nd lowest, SJ 0.947)


End of 23/24:

Record: 49-27-6
SH% (all situation): 10.56% (10th best)
SAV% (all sit): 0.898 (17th)
PDO: 1.003 (16th)



Last year I do think the "man on man" thing really handicapped our start. Some crazy blowouts where everyone on the ice just looked incompetent really tanked our sav% beyond any recovery. Campbell was also adding to the mess.

I think this year Skinner has been even worse than he started last year. His sav% was lower last year, but 3 games against the Canucks that the entire team was in on tanking really skewed his stats. The team overall is playing much better hockey to start this year, but with "bad luck" taken to a whole new level. Still finding more ways to win though, and outshooting opposition 2:1 a lot of nights is one way to still manage to find ways to win when your SH% and sav% are absolute garbage.

Need the "luck" to flip like last year where we ended up almost perfectly average in terms of SH%+sav+. Hopes and prayers it happens. Got a better record to this point if it does to actually have a shot at the division for once. Part of the "luck" though is Skinner somehow finding a magic mental space again.
