[Shift Charts] – [Head-to-Head TOI] – [Corsi and Fenwick] – [5-on-5 Faceoffs] I’m starting to think that HBO scripted tonight’s game and it was all a farce, because damn, that was just about too perfect.

Damn you, P.K. Subban. Schenn was reportedly seen with a boot on his foot leaving the…
[Shift Charts] – [Head-to-Head TOI] – [Corsi and Fenwick] – [5-on-5 Faceoffs] After the Flyers raced out to a 3-0 lead in the first seven minutes, my mind inevitably started to wander to other topics. “I really need to do laundry.” “I wonder what I would look like with blue hair?” “What is Vanna White’s…

In the interest of catching up, the chance data for the Sabres, Devils, Blue Jackets, Lightning, Panthers and Hurricanes games can be found in the BSH archives or the Scoring Chances section without analysis.
