Oh Captain, my Captain!!!!
Another great video! I have probably been Keller's biggest critic, at least publicly. I concede that, when looking at the numbers, there is obviously more to be happy about than not. I do think some of those numbers objectively point to areas where he can improve, like time of possession and expected goals. I don't think I've been alone in this; it's been obvious to everyone that he needs to shoot more. To fine-tune my overall criticism of his game, I don't see adjustments being made in a timely manner. Maybe comparisons aren't fair, but if you look at Sergy, he obviously shot more this year because he understood that was something the team needed from him. Other than that, I really can't put my finger on what my issue is with him. That's another reason why I brought up that "Blink" book. Something about him just never felt right. Anyway, as always I hope he proves me wrong.
One more thing I would like to point out is timing. I think sometimes stats can be misleading, probably both ways. If you get 5 points in a loss or one point in a win, which is more important? That is why I have been a huge proponent of him starting to be judged off team success instead of individual numbers starting next season.
