MoneyPuck has the #1 Winnipeg Jets ranked as the 18th best team in the league

  1. They’re 4-5-1 in their last 10. I’m sure Moneypuck ranked them #1 when they deserved it.

  2. yeah weve had just about the 18th best record the past 10 games, these are power rankings

  3. People need to chill.

    This is quantitative analysis that undervalues a generational talent at goal. The reason for this is that for *every other team*, goaltending cannot be relied upon season-to-season. It makes sense.

    Hellebuyck breaks the chart because he’s the once-in-a-generation talent that gets it done year in and year out.

    That said, for Helle it’s all about what happens in the playoffs.

  4. Jets will do as good as they play, not as good as some chart says they are. Personally I think not getting enough respect from other sources is likely good for having them play with a bit of a chip on their shoulder and to prove their doubters wrong.

  5. Another reason why this org has ascended beyond analytics and now follows the teachings of Stanalytics

  6. They also have hellebuyck as the number 1 goalie. I think that’s a pretty telling tale especially with how we’ve been playing lately.

  7. Money puck doesn’t account for goalies very well. The assume avg goaltending gor all teams IRC

  8. Ah yes, the #20 place in the league Philadelphia Flyers who have lost 4 of their 6 while allowing 23 goals over those games are certainly better than the #1 place Winnipeg Jets who have won 4 of their past 6 (and getting points in 5 of 6) while scoring 22 goals.

    Makes perfect sense…

  9. for some reason money puck assumes every team has the exact same goalie so they’ll all average the save sv% ands gaa
