Vally's View: Goalie Takeaways from Round One

Okay.

Vally's View: Goalie Takeaways from Round One

These are tabs that you can select when you want to go deep into the valley.

Vally's View: Goalie Takeaways from Round One

What you can do here, Kipper, is you can go and find out left-handed shooter from that exact location on the ice and

in offensive zone play at five on four.

And you can find out how many shots from there in the NHL have been taken this year where Slavkovsky scored the OT winner and how many were goals.

Vally's View: Goalie Takeaways from Round One

Okay.

So the one thing that I found out pretty quickly here is that lefties should never be able to score long side from the left dot.

Real Kyper & Bourne
Vally's View: Goalie Takeaways from Round One

354 shots came from that spot this year.

41 goals.

Vally's View: Goalie Takeaways from Round One

So it's an 11.6% chance to score, which falls into mid-danger.

But what did I just finish saying about mid-danger?

Real Kyper & Bourne
Vally's View: Goalie Takeaways from Round One

You need to overperform your mid-danger to win a playoff series when you're going up against another top goalie.

So that goal kills.

It's not low danger.

Vally's View: Goalie Takeaways from Round One

It's not critically bad.

But it's bad enough when the margins are thin and you've got the top 16 number one goalies playing.

Real Kyper & Bourne
Vally's View: Goalie Takeaways from Round One

Now, the one thing I'm looking at, guys, when a goal like that goes in, which it shouldn't happen, when you go long side, I can tell you that when I was with the Edmonton Oilers, Pete Peters was my goalie coach, first guy that ever did this, old school, took ropes from the crossbar, brought it down to the puck.

Real Kyper & Bourne
Vally's View: Goalie Takeaways from Round One

I'm on my stomach behind the puck getting perspective.

Ty Conklin's in the net, and he says to me, where does the puck have to go if a lefty shoots it?
