The Toronto Maple Leafs have played seven games, have four wins, two losses and one loss of a coinflip in the shootout for nine points and are, well... what are they? With the unreliability of shot location data at the moment, I want to take it as an opportunity to simplify things, and go back to the old fashioned methods of constructing narratives by hand. I’m not going too far, here. I haven’t ripped out my oven and put in a wood stove, and I’m not going to start using plus/minus and boxcars to measure the team either, but there’s nothing at all wrong with measuring the team by shots.
