肖恩·平托 (Shane Pinto) 的塞尔克案例作为 NHL 顶级防守前锋

随着 NHL 赛季接近尾声,奖项投票即将到来。从参议员的角度来看,特拉维斯·格林在杰克·亚当斯的竞选中值得一提。杰克·桑德森在诺里斯的谈话中也是如此。不过,也许最值得关注的是谢恩·平托(Shane Pinto),他在塞尔克奖杯辩论中获得了联盟顶级防守前锋的称号。让我们深入了解细节。

肖恩·平托的数字

这个奖项的有趣之处在于,令人反感的数字在某种程度上似乎很重要。就好像这个奖项颁给了最佳防守前锋,同时他也取得了出色的进攻数据。我想有人可能会说,花时间在进攻区是一种很好的防守,但你也不妨每年把这个奖项颁给康纳·麦克戴维。肖恩·平托(Shane Pinto)是名副其实的防守第一的前锋。他的进攻数据很稳定,但他是参议员队的第三进攻中锋,仅次于蒂姆·斯图茨勒和迪伦·科森斯。他的工作首先是防守。以下几个关键数据可以说明平托防守的重要性:

  • 2:13 冰上/比赛人手不足的时间
  • 2个缺人进球,4个缺人得分
  • 49次盖帽
  • 68.6% 的防守区域以均匀强度开始
  • 第297章 防守区对峙

平托在所有上述数据中在参议员前锋中排名第一或第二。值得称赞的是,参议员队有一些前锋非常认真地履行自己的防守职责。里德利·格雷格、迈克尔·阿马迪奥和克劳德·吉鲁等人帮助桑斯队成为 NHL 中防守最好的球队之一,他们都值得称赞。

然而,平托在他们之中脱颖而出。进球晚了?平托将在冰上。杀人受罚?平托就在那里。与对手的最佳阵容相匹配?平托一次又一次地接到任务。通常,他能成功地压制对方球队最好的进攻球员。

渥太华参议员防守数据

从进球对比的角度来看,参议员队是球队的中间球队。他们排名第17位,场均丢球3.04个。他们的点球命中率更差,以75%的命中率排在NHL第29位。守门员是这些失败的主要原因。他们的 0.876 SV% 在 NHL 中排名第 30,这实际上比今年早些时候有所改善。 1 月 30 日,他们的 SV 为联盟最差的 0.866。甚至他们目前的扑救率也是球队自 1993-94 赛季以来最差的。由于人手不足,莱纳斯·乌尔马克 (Linus Ullmark) 的扑救率为 0.811,而李维·梅里莱宁 (Leevi Merilainen) 的扑救率更差,为 0.806。

参议员队每场比赛仅丢掉 24.4 次投篮。这在 NHL 中排名第三,仅次于飓风队(23.8)和金骑士队(24.3)。这三人都遥遥领先于联盟其他球队。第四好的球队是飞人队,他们的场均出手次数为 25.4 次,差了很多。事实上,在过去的13年里,这三支球队一直保持着前三名的地位。在投篮次数方面,参议员队也排名第三(3,299 次),落后于飓风队(3,032 次)和闪电队(3,248 次)。

特拉维斯·格林在参议员队的防守表现上值得称赞。他在球队防投篮心态上最依赖带路的前锋无疑是肖恩·平托。格林确保为施图茨勒和科曾斯提供更多的进攻机会和更好的进攻边锋。平托最常见的队友是吉鲁、阿马迪奥、格雷格和考辛斯。当你在平托的防线上时,你知道期待其他球队最好的前锋,并且有大量的防守区域首发。

最后的想法

显而易见的是其他球队对参议员队防守表现的评价有多高。对手的教练和球员经常评论说与参议员队比赛有多么困难。他们的强项是预防射门,而在这方面领先的前锋是肖恩·平托(Shane Pinto)。

很难赋予防守比赛以价值。守门员、边线队友以及教练让球员参与的情况都是人们认为防守价值的高级指标的因素。这就是旧的视力测试变得如此有价值的地方。观看参议员队的比赛就可以清楚地看出平托对球队的意义有多大。 20+的进球和40+的得分固然不错,但最耀眼的还是他的防守表现。

不可避免的是,奖项投票往往是叙事驱动的。群体思维也经常参与其中。就塞尔克奖而言,球员似乎需要几年的积累才能赢得该奖项的认真考虑。那么,为什么不现在就开始为肖恩·平托做准备呢?他是整个 NHL 中最有价值的防守型前锋。现在是人们认识到他是多么值得获得塞尔克奖杯的时候了。

Selke’s case for Shane Pinto as the NHL’s top defensive forward

As the NHL season draws to a close, awards voting is just around the corner. From the Senators’ perspective, Travis Greene deserves a mention in the Jack Adams race. Jake Sanderson does the same in Norris Conversation. However, perhaps most deserving of the Selke Trophy debate for the league’s top defensive forward is Shane Pinto. Let’s get into the details.

shane pinto by numbers

The fun part about this award is that the offensive numbers somehow matter. It’s almost as if this award goes to the best defensive forward who also puts up big-time offensive stats. I guess it can be argued that spending time in the offensive zone is great defense, but then you might as well give the award to Connor McDavid every year. Shane Pinto is a true defense-first forward. His offensive numbers are solid, but he is the third-ranked offensive center with the Senators behind Tim Stuetzle and Dylan Cozens. His job is to defend first and foremost. Here are some key numbers to show Pinto’s defensive value:

  • 2:13 Shorthand time on ice/game
  • 2 shorthand goals, 4 shorthand points
  • 49 blocked shots
  • 68.6% of defensive zones start at even strength
  • 297 defensive zone faceoff

Pinto ranks first or second among Senators forwards in all of the above statistics. To the Senators’ credit, they have some forwards who take their defensive responsibilities very seriously. Guys like Ridley Gregg, Michael Amadio and Claude Giroux all deserve a lot of credit for helping the Sens become one of the best defensive teams in the NHL.

However, it is the Pinto that stands above them all. A goal late? Pinto will be on ice. Murder as punishment? Pinto is out there. Matching the opposition’s best line-up? Pinto is given work again and again. Often, he is successful in neutralizing the other team’s best offensive players.

Ottawa Senators defensive numbers

The Senators are a middling team in terms of goals against. They rank 17th, giving up 3.04 goals per game. Their penalty kill is even worse, ranking 29th in the NHL at 75%. Goaltending has been the main reason for those failures. His .876 SV% ranks 30th in the NHL, and that’s actually an improvement from the beginning of the year. On January 30 he had a league worst .866 SV. Even their current save percentage is the franchise’s worst since 1993–94. Shorthanded, Linus Ullmark has a save percentage of .811 while Levi Merilainen is even worse at .806.

The Senators are allowing just 24.4 shots per game. This ranks third-best in the NHL behind the Hurricanes (23.8) and Golden Knights (24.3). These three are far ahead of the rest of the players in the league. The fourth-best team, the Flyers, are worse at 25.4 shots against per game. In fact, these three teams have remained in the top three for the last 13 years. In terms of shot attempts, the Senators are third (3,299) behind the Hurricanes (3,032) and Lightning (3,248).

Travis Green deserves a lot of credit for the Senators’ defensive play. The forward he relies on most to lead the team in the mentality of blocking shots is undoubtedly Shane Pinto. Green is sure to give Stützle and Cozens more offensive opportunities and better offensive wingers. Pinto’s most common classmates are Giroux, Amadio, Greg, and Cousins. When you’re on Pinto’s line, you know to expect the best forward from other teams, and a lot of defensive zone starts occur.

final thoughts

It’s clear how much other teams think of the Senators’ defensive game. Opposing coaches and players have often commented on how difficult it is to play against the Senators. His strength is bullet prevention and Shane Pinto is at the forefront in this regard.

It can be difficult to value defensive play. Goaltending, linemates, and the situations that coaches put players in play a factor in the advanced metrics that people point to for defensive value. This is where the old eye test becomes so valuable. Watching the Senators, it’s clear how much Pinto means to the team. 20+ goals and 40+ points are nice, but it’s his defensive game that shines most.

Inevitably, awards voting is often narrative based. Groupthink is also often involved. In Selke’s case, it seems a player has to build up a few years before he can be seriously considered for the award. Well, why not start the buildup to Shane Pinto now? He is as valuable a defensive forward as there is in the entire NHL. It’s time for people to realize how worthy he is of Selke Trophy votes.

“He’s special” – Tiago Pinto on Erola’s reaction to Bournemouth sale

Bournemouth’s Managing Director of Professional Football Tiago Pinto has revealed how Andoni Ierola has reacted to the huge sale at the club.

Rivista Andesi has today held an interview with the Bournemouth director. He has discussed all elements of life at Bournemouth, including working with Irola.

The Spanish coach has been nothing short of a revelation since arriving at the club, establishing himself as one of the Premier League’s most respected tactical managers.

His time at the club so far has seen him guide the club to its highest ever Premier League points tally in 2023/24, which they surpassed in 2024/25 with 56 points.

Special attention has also been paid to player development, with many stars improving rapidly under his guidance. However, this has led to major departures in the last few transfer windows.

Bournemouth develops stars

Last summer their entire defense as Ilya Zbarny, Dean Huijsen, Milos Kerkez left for PSG, Real Madrid and Liverpool. Dango Ouattara also joined Brentford in a £36 million deal.

The story continued in the January transfer window as star man Antoine Semenyo joined Manchester City in a club-record £62.5m deal. Marcos Senesi is also likely to depart this summer.

Big departures like this are clearly a problem for Bournemouth. Indeed, one can see the impact such an exit had on Crystal Palace and their crumbling relationship with Oliver Glassner.

Pinto praised Irola

However, Irola has yet to complain publicly about the situation on the south coast. And Pinto insists it’s the same behind the scenes.

“I have worked with many coaches and have learned something from all of them,” he said.

“Today I can say that Andoni is different, he is special. He is a modern coach, someone who understands all the dynamics of football.

“A coach has tremendous communication power: he is the club’s main spokesperson; he is the person the fans listen to and respect. But behind that, there are many things that are not seen.

“Take the example of Bournemouth. We sold players not because we were happy to sell them, but because there are rules to follow. Any other coach other than Andoni could say, “They sold all my players.” He doesn’t.

“Not just because he’s a great coach and a good person. But because he has all the information and he understands the context.”
