Petry's much better than a "decent NHL defenseman". He's a top pairing guy who does everything pretty well.
My prediction is on pace...Pens in 4!
Writer of the weekly Top 10 column.
12-team Keeper pool, straight points for forwards & dmen. Goalies get: 2 points per win, 3 per shutout, 1 point per assist & 1 point per shootout loss.
League champ in 2013, 2015, 2018, 2020 and 2022.
Top 8 forwards, 5 dmen and 2 goalies count.
We keep 15 players (any position) plus two rookies.
Forwards: Panarin, Ovechkin, Kopitar, Stamkos, Tuch, Rust, Marchessault, Pavelski, Miller, Bertuzzi, Stone, Kakko, Brown, Stankoven, Kovalenko
Defence: Hedman, Fox, Matheson, Thrun, Jiricek
Goalies: Kochetkov, Talbot, Vasilevskiy, Campbell, Schmid
Are high numbers of turnovers an indication of a bad player or a very, very good one? Let's check the numbers.
You said Petry's #1 in the NHL in turnovers over the past 3 seasons. Who are the next few on the list? Let's see:
Brent Burns - Superstar
Mathew Barzal - Star, best player on his team
Keith Yandle - ???
Aaron Ekblad - ??? - but former 1st overall pick
Johnny Gaudreau - Superstar
Leon Draisaitl - Superstar
Mkie Matheson - ???
Drew Doughty - Superstar
John Carlson - Superstar
So of the rest of the top 10, there are 5 superstars, 1 star and 3 Florida dmen. It sounds like the official scorer in Florida loves giving out turnovers more than any of the other official scorers. It also tells me that turnovers are an indication of how good a player is and not that they are bad.
Want me to keep going down the list? Here are the next 10: Dylan Larkin, David Pastrnak, Ivan Provorov, Kris Letang, John Klingberg, Jonathan Huberdeau, Brad Marchand, Connor McDavid, Nikita Kucherov, Evgeni Malkin. 10 more names and 7 are superstars and 2 are budding superstars.
Thank you for helping me make my point that Petry is a superstar!
Perhaps a high number of turnovers are an indication that a player has the puck often...

I hate stats that are subjective. What is a turnover? An attempted pass that the forward stopped skating on and the puck went to an opponent? Does the puck have to be taken off your stick or fumbled away? As noted (with Florida), some statisticians will call it a turnover, while others wouldn't.
Penguins have now lost 8 of their last 9 playoff games

Well at least 85 percent of us were wrong! 85 percent of us said Pens in 3 or 4.
definitely surprised.
and that Petry goal was a pretty bad goal for a game winning goal. I wonder if Pittsburgh changes up to Jarry next game.
