A thread about NHL goalie height stats I found today inspired me to hunt down a project I did for AP stats way back about the correlation between height and sv%.
These measurements are from 2018.
Pictured is 2018 Vezina winner, Pekka Rinne, wearing P4's (best pads ever made).
This isn’t me defending either org for the signings. Just noting that a lot of people were really excited to see Vegas lose because of this when Carolina has done essentially the same thing here.
Everyone who spent the SCF rooting against Carter Hart either chose to forget or were oblivious to the fact that the Hurricanes forced their AHL affiliate to sign Cal Foote.
Is there a reason people aren’t outraged over this or is it just because it’s Vegas?
My sincerest apologies to my downstairs neighbor, Blake, who had to endure the rollercoaster that was me during the gold medal game today. I owe you several beers.
