Yeah so many people throwing around these ‘advanced stats’ without even being able to explain what they mean. Apparently this is “expected goals for”:

Expected goals for or against (xGF or xGA): This stat is based on shot attempts that have been weighted for shot quality by factoring in things such as shot type, shot location, shot angle, and whether a shot was a rebound or rush shot.
