Bruce has always been a solid jersey guy. He’s usually the first of the nyc media to give jersey teams some props. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And i legit went like "what?" lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're a McDavid injury away from being a lottery team, I'm convinced. The best player of our generation and a top-3 goalscorer.

I know I’ve said it many times, but only brainstorming corporate dweebuses could come up with something as lame as the Diablos. It was a relief when that whole thing went away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because advanced stats are as useful as a Tupperware full of goat diarrhea. I totally get someone not being big on them, I do, but it’s hard for me to ever understand this extreme of a stance. Why does pretty much every team in the sport devote at least some resources to analytics if they’re truly that useless? I’ve never seen anyone come up with a serious answer for that beyond “cAuSe nERds!” I certainly don’t think Smith has been very good, let alone one of the better dmen in the entire league, but I also don’t think disagreeing with what the stats say on certain players, at certain times, completely invalidates what they say on everyone, all the time. They’re a tool like anything else, and have to be used accordingly. Edited November 21, 2022 by Nicomo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re a tool like anything else, and have to be used accordingly. Like I’ve said before, if stats can be ood when you are bad, or bad when you are good, they are useless. Any stats that say Brendan Smith is a good hockey player cannot be relied upon whatsoever for anything. As far as why a lot of teams use them, I’ll only point out that like our moms told us, just because everyone is doing something, it doesn’t mean it’s right. There’s probably a hundred stupid things that people used to believe in that are no longer believed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfitz804 Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 I am also going to say, I would be ok with anyone on our team taking a game misconduct for doing something to McDavid that keeps him out for just the rest of this game.

Love when sh!t like this just happens organically. CR76....I'm going to be honest with you. I had no idea what the origin story was and I believe anyway. Jesper Bratt is so fvcking good.
