i also said it before... if we let Clarkson go and decide not to overpay a little... well fine we may have saved an extra million? from a fair 4m to an unfair 5m per? but who could we sign at 4m or 5m on the market that could to a better or equal job as clarkson? none.

Elias has a lot of positive things to say about the team mates and the coach. It's safe to say that if he is asked, he will stay.

 

just read that too it was encouraging, we absolutely need Elias.

Well we only have 4more pts than the 27th position... Its not even impossible to be able to draft drouin or mackinnon with our own pick without even winning the lottery

Edit: actually the flames (27th) even have more regulation wins than us lol if you only look at the wins were bottom 4

here's to good luck

oh here we go!

 

Another Sterio-Tri bout!

 

 

ah there's no point. I don't give a sh!t cause it's not as if i'm the only one calling him out for that. and he doesnt give a sh!t either cause he's above all of us in his mind.

got scored on with the same guys on the ice twice

I'll say it again... losing zach is really underrated here, mostly cause people don't want to admit it and try to convince themselves that we're not.

 

Deboer called him the heart and soul of the team and he's gone.

He's not a good in-zone defender.    It stands out now because he's not doing anything 5 on 5.    He's a transition defender.   If he makes a good play around you or you make a mistake around him, you're fvcked.

 

I'm not worried about his defensive play, that's not what he's here to do, he's here to snipe rockets from the left side of the ice.    But apparently only Bobby Butler can play LW with a right hand shot.

 

yeah thats true... and yeah... i really like DeBoer but hes got that one wrong saying that Kovy did well last year on the RW so why would we change that? mmmm well Kovy became a superstar and scored about 95% of his goal from the left side in his career... why would YOU change that. Even this year Kovy often scored coming from the left side. 

Tri always brings some interesting stat angles to the table, especially since most hockey fans still aren't that aware of them.  Tri's problem has always been bedside manners when it comes to presentation...he can be arrogant, condescending, and almost robotic at times, and it has a way of getting under some people's skin (admittedly Tri has ticked me off more than once).  I think his demeanor has turned off some fans' to the Fenwicks and Corsis and other microstats he brings to the board.  But I've also defended his viewpoints when I've agreed with them, and I don't think he's far off on Gio to this point...yeah, the numbers for him look pretty good, but beyond the obvious numbers, there's solid reasons to wonder if he can possibly keep this up.

 

This is spot on for me Colorady ( lol ) anything I posted in this whole discussion is not cause i like Gionta or anything. it's based on the fact that i'm absolutely fed up with his way of saying things, not to the point of blocking Tri of course, he's a good poster. But now every time he's shoving shooting % in a discussion to make it looks smart it's getting under my skin cause it sounds so pretentious and often it's not taking into account anything else.

 

I mean when anyone on this forum would say something like "Henrique has been playing pretty well with Zajac lately"... Tri would likely go and make a statement in opposition saying something like..."Henrique shooting % has been down 2.3% since playing with Zajac and long run Deboer will have to split them up cause they'll run Kovy to the ground since he was maintaining a constant % and bla bla bla bla bla" or something similar. I mean... to me now it always sounds like someone trying to look smarter than anyone and its ticking me off every time.

Yes, that crazy stat I made up called shots on goal.
 
Oh look, Gionta last in Corsi once again:

So fvcking what !?!?! Did you even watch the game !?! Holy sh!t youre pissing me off with your godamn stats that means nothing.

Gionta was one of the best player who created chances with his forecheck today if youre not seeing that with ur damn stats well too bad for you.

Baseball guys said the same thing about advanced baseball stats. Now it's generally agreed they work very well, after they were mocked for decades.

 

there's still wayyyyyy too many variables and different context in a hockey game compared to baseball. Apples and oranges

I'll be in South Jersey helping my grandparents this weekend and probably won't be online till later Sunday so I won't have Friday or Saturday updates.

No worries buddy, youre doing way more work than what youre getting paid for here we all appreciates it and will likely survive those 2 days. Have a great weekend bud

I'm sure Sterio will go to town in this thread.. But I recall Peter Laviolette using it to mean that they always get calls at home

Waiiiit a minute ! Are you telling me im famous or something? Haha

Ya think it is too soon to change the name on my Parise jersey yet?

No.

At least butler want to be here
