Saturday Hockey Notes

from Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun,

- The analytics community likes to bash Brooks Orpik, the Washington defenceman. Let them bash. In three rounds of the Stanley Cup playoffs, heading into Saturday night, Orpik had been on the ice for four even strength goals against in 16 games. Analytics darling Jake Gardiner was on the ice for five goals in one game against Boston.

- Focus and attention to detail may cost the Winnipeg Jets their shot at the Stanley Cup. They have the most talented team left in the playoffs, but their propensity for being scored on right after they score may see them eliminated against the Golden Knights of Vegas.

- Even after he wins the Vezina Trophy, which he will, how do the Nashville Predators bring Pekka Rinne back to play goal next season?
