Re: Western Michigan: Preseason 2009-10
I do not disagree, shots allowed do not indicate the quality of shot. I have not seen that stat or I would have included that as well. However, saves % is not a true reflection on the defense is it? I was just questioning your validity of analysis for picking the Falcons to finish last. Certainly, they finished last 2 out of three years and they did lose some quality players from last year, but they picked up some good guys, probably the most important is the new goalie from the BCHL. Also, Williams as head coach is very focused, he will have his team mentally prepared. I predict you will see an improved team from last year. Let me know if you need any help with your predictions next year.
Good luck to your Broncos, I know some of your players and they are great kids.
1 - I never said WMU's wasn't horrible. It was, but in a much different way then BGSU's.
2 - BGSU allowed one more goal against on the season then WMU in fewer games played.
3 - There are other stats then just shots allowed... such as goals allowed, quality scoring chances allowed, goaltender stats (BGSU's save % was atrocious), etc.
