What am I looking at?
  • Individual refs: stats for one official across all Canucks games they worked, even with different partners.
  • Ref crews: stats when the same four officials worked together on the Canucks games (5+ games shown by default).
  • Team baseline: the Canucks went 205-222 (48.0%) across this sample. Ref and crew win rates show how they compare to that team average.
  • Whistle differential: PIM differential. A positive number means opponents are penalized more often than the Canucks.
