I'll start a little tracking project for this #GoHabsGo season. I'll track every primary and secondary assist for every unblocked Habs shot attempt at 5v5, trying to bring in the "xAssists" and "xPoints" stats. The goal is to track every game, but we'll see.

This might come in handy in the #GRITALYTICS context.
WHO decided it was a good idea to give hockey players a hammer😭

I have a bad feeling abour this.
So far at this practice, we have same lines but different D pairings. Hutson-Dobson Matheson-Carrier Guhle-Xhekaj

What's even more frightening is the fact that there's still an even worse option left. Matheson–Carrier Hutson–Guhle Xhekaj–Dobson

#GoHabsGo expected points, Fenwick contributions and points above expected at 5v5 after 10 games. Dobson getting REALLY unlucky at the moment.

The #GoHabsGo against the 1C or the top line's main playdriver (Matthews, Crosby, Aho, O'Reilly, Larkin, Thompson, Strome, Celebrini) with and without Suzuki this season. Interesting to see how much the bigger workload for the 2–4Cs will affect these numbers.
The #GoHabsGo without Nick Suzuki at 5v5 this far in 2026–27: Shot attempts: 55.1% ✅ Unblocked shot attempts: 54.1% ✅ Unblocked shot attempts from the slot: 52.1% ✅ Shots: 52.6% ✅ Slot shots: 46.2% ❌ xGoals: 52.7% ✅ Goals: 37% ❌ Not bad, but how will the big minutes go?

The #GoHabsGo have NEVER controlled the unblocked shot attempts at 5v5 in the analytics era like they've done this year (unless they fumble at game 10). The good times are coming. Source: HockeyStats

(Way too) early 2026–27 Grit Score leaders. The #GRITALYTICS cards will return later in the season, once the samples get big enough. Before that, I might be able to bring in some historical cards (2007->) and maybe even career timelines.
