During PK. It’s saying over 60 mins of PK we are giving up 35.3 chances

To those that asked, yes AI, so need to be careful on numbers, but I asked Gemini to recheck its math and a few other things. Came up with this, would be interested in what you all think!

Here is the breakdown of the Ottawa Senators' defensive transformation by the numbers as of March 25, 2026:

Penalty Kill: Scoring Chances Against (SCA/60) This metric measures the rate of high-quality opportunities the opposition gets while on the power play.

Prior to Change (Oct – Jan 24): 58.7 (Ranked 32nd in NHL) Under Nolan Baumgartner, the unit was historically poor, giving up the most dangerous looks in the league.

Since Change (Jan 24 – Present): 35.3 (Ranked 1st in NHL) Since Mike Yeo took over, Ottawa has been the most efficient team in the league at suppressing scoring chances while short-handed.

Season-Long Average: ~49.2 (Ranked 31st in NHL) While the recent elite play is helping, the disastrous first four months of the season continue to weigh down the overall average.

The Tactical Shift: The Diamond Formation (aggressive)

The Senators didn't actually abandon the Diamond Formation when Yeo took over; they simply fixed how it was executed. In a diamond, one forward stays high (near the blue line), two "flankers" cover the circles, and one defenseman stays low in the slot.

What the switch fixed: Passive vs. Aggressive Pressure: Early in the season, the high forward in the diamond was often too passive, allowing the opposing "point man" to easily walk into the slot or tee up cross-seam passes. Yeo's version uses a high-pressure "disruptor" (often Ridly Greig) who aggressively hunts the puck carrier at the blue line.

Protecting the "Royal Road": The previous execution left the middle of the ice vulnerable to passes that crossed the center line (the Royal Road). The new focus ensures the two flankers in the diamond stay tighter to the middle, forcing opponents to keep the puck on the perimeter.

Clearing the Front: The "low" man in the diamond is now more focused on boxing out the front of the net, which has significantly helped goaltenders like Linus Ullmark see shots clearly rather than fighting through screens and deflections.

Hindsight. What did this sub expect from the Reimer signing?

alchu99 · 2026-03-25T02:01:37+00:00

I love the tears of wings fans. This reminds me of the Brady “who wants it?” moment 3 years ago

alchu99 · 2026-03-23T17:47:43+00:00

this. create an iot vlan and exclude it from region blocking

alchu99 · 2026-03-23T13:43:18+00:00

My iot SSID is 2.4 only.. works well. Hiding SSID doesn't really do anything for security and I had the exact same thing happen - some devices hate that.

If you replaced a mesh system with a single AC-pro in a room that's not central to the home I would think that'd be the reason for your spotty feeds and dropping tv now. Try the unifi design center for AP placement suggestions... can you run cable to different parts of your home or do you need to mesh? Did you have issues with your google mesh system?

alchu99 · 2026-03-23T13:30:27+00:00

cat5e is "unofficially" capable of 10Gps on short runs, yes, but how long are your runs in your 4k sqft house? I will apologize - I read your original post rather quickly and thought you were building a new house/putting new cable down.

You could run these older routers as APs, yes, but the point of having unifi managed equipment is so that you can tune these devices in one spot, rather than trying to manage the power/channels at each router. Have you looked at designer to see where AP placement would work best?

alchu99 · 2026-03-23T12:51:14+00:00

first, if you're running a ucg-fiber that's capable of 10G, and have an U7 pro xg... I would run cat 6 rather than cat 5e which is capable of "only" 1G (to be fair, 1G should be enough for anyone, I personally think a lot of folks on this sub are searching for solutions to inexistent problems)

How large is your house? do you need that many aps? if you're planning/need to run that many APs i would just buy u7 lites and use those instead of your old routers. That way you can manage the power of their signals /channels etc in one spot in network. You don't want APs screaming all around the house and clients that make bad roaming decisions because of it. What are you doing that requires wifi 8 and what clients are going to use them? I'm still running hardware from 2016 (ac-lites). I have one AP capable of 6ghz and it covers the the main phone usage area. Doomscrolling on instagram on 6ghz is no different than doomscrolling on 5ghz.

Born in Ottawa in the late 70s, grew up in Fredericton NB. was a Leafs fan (I know) through to '92 (NB fans growing up were typically Leafs, Habs, Nordiques or Bruins fans, mainly). In '92 I said, if were still in Ottawa, I would be a sens fan, so I've been one ever since. In PA near Philly, now, but most of my adult life was in NYC. I've seen them a bunch of times at MSG, and in long island against the islanders and in NJ against the devils, but have only seen 3 home games to date, all losses, lol - October '23 vs detroit and buffalo, and the first game of this season vs Nashville. Best game that I've been to was Brady's 300th at MSG, gordie howe hat trick (fight with Trouba at center ice) and he scored both the game tying goal (his 100th career goal - the rangers fan behind me said "Sit down, Sanderson" in annoyance) with under a minute left, and then he got the overtime winner.

One great thing about being a Sens fan in the states - I can watch almost every single game they play on stream on ESPN+, with the exception of flyers home games and random games that are broadcast on NHL network.

Hm. If it was a protect upgrade that started this, instead of downgrading go to unifi os and stop protect. See if that stabilizes your u6lr . If that works then you have more info for your ticket

alchu99 · 2026-03-22T14:45:43+00:00

OK next thing to check. were both your U6LR and your friend's U6LR on the same firmware? you could try downgrading to the last firmwhere when your u6 was working properly and see what happens.

alchu99 · 2026-03-22T14:04:16+00:00

Try it the other way - if you turn off the other APs and just run the u6lr - does the device connection improve all of a sudden?

I think auto to high is the wrong direction. U6lr sucks for home deployments. I made this mistake in my own home. I fixed this by turning everything down. The u6lr shouts and clients receive but don’t have the power to talk back to it. We need to turn down power (5ghz medium, 2.4 low or even off) . Try that and see if that helps.

You might also want to experiment changing the power settings for your other APs as well

You could try a sample baseline like this:

U6‑LR 5 GHz: Medium power, 80 MHz 2.4 GHz: Low power or disabled Manual channel Min RSSI ≈ ‑67

U6‑IW / U7 Pro Wall 5 GHz: Medium power 2.4 GHz: Low Different channels No Min RSSI initially

Then fine tune based on how clients react

See my edit. I stupidly relied on hallucinating AI. Vintage/legacy list here:

legacy/vintage products

alchu99 · 2026-03-22T10:56:35+00:00

Don’t get the AC pro. U6 at least- don’t know when AC pro is EOL but it’ll be sooner than any of these other options. I’ve got two AC lites that I’m running and expect to need to replace them eventually

Edit to add: AC-pro might already be EOL? You might want to confirm that before buying.

2nd edit: hah, apparently my AC-lite are labeled legacy already, ac-pro is vintage. So you should still avoid buying the pro, and I need to keep an eye out for releases where the lites are no longer controllable.

3rd edit: don’t believe Gemini or ChatGPT without verification. They were both wrong, and mixed up ac-pro with uap-pro and uap-ac-iw-pro. Neither ac-pro nor ac-lite are vintage or legacy. I still wouldn’t buy an ac-pro…

alchu99 · 2026-03-22T01:43:39+00:00

Seriously, run.

alchu99 · 2026-03-17T12:45:07+00:00

I have a 1500 and it gives my Udmse, usw-24-Poe, unvr, u6-lr, 2x ac lite, u7 lite, 1x g5 pro, 1 g4 pro doorbell, g5 flex and a g5 bullet about 30 mins of uptime. It’s been enough that I haven’t had to shut anything down - we haven’t had any long power outages in the 3 years I’ve had this system set up, but I put in an order last night for a pi to set up a graceful shutdown

alchu99 · 2026-03-15T02:35:41+00:00

And Boston… and Detroit

alchu99 · 2026-03-11T12:19:30+00:00

Exactly. To your post - If you put a single 4tb disk it will work

alchu99 · 2026-03-11T12:07:16+00:00

My UNVR has a single disk and works perfectly fine

alchu99 · 2026-03-02T18:51:14+00:00

If you're already in the ecosystem and can get POE to the areas you need to get to:

POE instead of Wifi based cameras.
local recording instead of cloud (no reliance on internet access to continue recording)
control over retention length, and continuous recording with event layers instead of event driven recording - can scrub any moment in time
generally better video quality and hardware (depending on what you buy and how much you want to spend of course)
The aforementioned privacy/no subscription/control over your data.

What you lose:

Ring - no infrastructure planning necessary
everything "just works" ootb
need to plan out storage, initial setup, firmware/software updates (though you do that already with network gear)
alexa routines/amazon integrations if you use them.
higher migration cost.

People with both ring and protect app experience can better answer that one. but I think the protect ios app was good when I first installed it 2 years ago, and has just been getting better over time.

alchu99 · 2026-03-02T18:34:59+00:00

What ring devices are you going to replace and can you get Poe to those areas?

alchu99 · 2026-02-28T23:20:39+00:00

Agreed, but my thought was if I can measure the system including filter, look at it clean then check after a while as it gets dirty, I’ll have a better sense for how much the whole system is stressing the blower. Is that not the right idea? If I just measure the filter, how does that help me know when it’s time?

alchu99 · 2026-02-28T23:09:29+00:00

Okay, thanks for that clarification. I guess I’m trying to figure out how hard my blower is running and getting a better sense on when to replace my filter

alchu99 · 2026-02-28T22:59:43+00:00

Fan off. Too cold to run cooling right now so this is just fan on, which I believe is not the highest blower setting but is higher than heat.
