2013 Detroit >>> Toronto & Montreal. Is slightly better than non-Tim Thomas Boston.

With the way he's talking about Detroit, we can't be sure he's watched the West either.
I don't know that Detroit will destroy the Eastern conference but that's because Detroit has just lost Lidstrom, Rafalski, Holmstrom, Bertuzzi and more, without having the replacements to dominate the league like they've done the last couple decades. As it stands right now they haven't clinched a playoff spot so you can't expect a middle-of-the-pack Western team to set the East ablaze. Still, even if the East is getting better, I feel the West will still have the advantage next season, despite being due to having an inferior year.
i want to see your magical data

What time is it? It's stat time!!NW is the worst division right now, together with the SE. If anything, our points are inflated.
1094 Goals scored in the East = 73 goals per team on average
1001 Goals scored in the West = 67 goals per team on average
6 goal differential per team on average.
Face it, it's easier to score in the east. Stats are inflated in the east compared to the west and if those east players like Stamkos and Crosby were on a western team, their point totals would be lower. Still would be amazing but tougher to score in west.
Also the difference between NW and SE is 350 goals against vs 392 goals against
42 goal differential. 8 goals on average per team.
Someone already posted some of it for me.
EDIT - Here's some stats I had already posted for you:
I agree with you, Kat_Man. Shit is more boring than watching the Nashville Predators.Honestly it's the same thing every time and you guys keep fueling him.
Tabris comes in says something nobody agrees with.
Everyone laughs or calls him out
Tabris continues saying it
Everyone continues to laugh or try to argue with him to no avail for a few pages.
Actually pretty unusual for this year. That was by far the best one he's scored.Stamkos is a beast, as usual.
And what you will see with Detroit is top level coaching and a system that will grind east coast style offences to a halt. The possession game.
oh hey
the conference with the most skilled players tend to score more than the conference with less skilled players
ITS MAGIC
and then
it balances out with BETTER DEFENSE

They won't be able to do those quick counterattacks when you are being grinded against the boards with the defence in pinch in/covered by winger positioning.

Newsflash: We play the exact same system since our coach and his playbook are from Detroit.

I don't know who you are to determine who we are? Can you specify a team?

Where you been all season?
Can we make it a bannable offense to reply to him or acknowledge him?
Hey, Monty. You gonna step up to the plate again?Banning Tabris would be a much simpler solution.

Sorry I don't know what you mean. Can you clarify?
Gonna defend him?

You first.Only way to solve this is to come back to this thread in 2014.
But I don't want any excuses like "I didn't realize that Detroit would have some no names come up through their system and score a bunch of goals on my shitty team.". You take the onus on of not knowing what you're talking about with hockey.
Nah I only felt that way before because it seemed people were unfairly bullying him. Here people are disagreeing with him and being generally civil about it (Red_Man pushing it but who cares).
