And that's why it's so hard to play goal and save percentages down.

We're just seeing better quality.

Like one thing that I've seen in all these games, guys, is that everybody's hitting the secret sauce of scoring chances.

It's like seven or more high danger with 12 or fewer low danger.

Look at the games we're seeing every night.

Out of the 11 games we've seen so far, eight of them have been won by teams that have had more high danger chances all the time while shooting 12 and fewer low danger.

As a company with ClearSight, we have 42 different shot types that we categorize.

All year long, we've done this for 12 years now.

We get over 73,000 shots a season.

Now, we're hearing a lot about slot shots, as if that's where the quality is.

Well, I want to tell you that out of the 42 shot types that we categorize, guys, 30 of them can come from the slot.

And they range from 5.8% chance to score up to 52% chance to score.
