Saw some people get real tight and shit on analytics on twitter about Marino being team-worst in gamescore last night without considering why that might be the case.
Yes, he was matched against MacKinnon last night – and MacKinnon gave him the business to the tune of a 35% xGF percentage. Vanacek was 1 or 2 missed saves from making Marino /look/ like he had a tough night.
He was on the ice on the ERod partial breakaway, too. Basically allowed the pass to get through him.
Was he a MONSTER on the PK? absolutely. Guess what isn’t factored into gamescore besides « GA ». Yup, the PK
I think the gamescore undersold Marino last night, no doubt. But it’s important to understand WHY instead of just shitting on analytics wholesale.
