This fancy stats talk makes me want to bully you nerds.

Spoiler

I actually wasn't ever a bully, so I can't do that.

I can do it for you, just tell me what to say!

 

[Holiday]

I hope the Blues do well tonight against the Inhabitants of Montreal.

26 Years Young: The Beginnings of the Tampa Bay Lightning

26 years ago, the Lightning began life as a franchise.

 

[Foggy]

even without Price

MTL > TOR

Stats are stats

Wait what, BJs pp% is 25%.

How is that a weakness?

 

[shadowkat]

Is there a graph or fancy stat to show my disappointment in graphs and fancy stats?

Probably.

 

[ShadowSoldier89]

actually in the past 5 years the only team worthy of winning the cup were the Penguins, everyone else needs to return their cups

I'm comfortable with this

 

[Delryk]

The graph isn't saying anything close to that?
You're just pushing the narrative you want to push.

That was my whole point

 

[DopeyFish]

if only ya'll had some dopey stats to contextualize the data then you wouldn't be so salty

Looking at those power rankings based on advanced stats, Carolina would be doing better if they could score, and Dallas would be doing better if their goalies could stop a puck.

Good luck 😉

yeah but at least Stars are respectable. Having a good goalie is shameful and truly disgusting

 

[zroid]

FUCK

i'm going to be salty as fuck today for baseball reasons, i apologize in advance

 

[Simon Belmont]

yeah but at least Stars are respectable. Having a good goalie and nothing else is shameful and truly disgusting

That is true.

 

[imBask]

That is true.

wanna compare defense or is it good? i'll even give you a head start, our 3rd pairing against your 1st pairing

 

[Simon Belmont]

Want to compare forwards?

Give you a head start, your 1st C against our 3rd.

 

[Merguson]

FUCK

i guess the jays are going to the basement?

if you want, wanna keep talking past Marner and Matthews?

are you saying Kadri or whoever the fuck is on your 3rd line is better than Galchenyuk?

 

[Simon Belmont]

if you want, wanna keep talking past Marner and Matthews?

And Nylander, and Kadri, and JVR. I can keep going if you'd like?

Edit: I am saying that.

 

[zroid]

i guess the jays are going to the basement?

no but maybe they should. their chances of winning the division in the coming years is virtually zero now. ☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠

 

[calder]

Good lord it's somehow snowing *harder* than it was this morning when I was almost killed dead by snow on my walk to work.

Game tonight is going to be played in front of a half empty rink I bet lol.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Need to sign Fowler and fast

 

[calder]

Meh Jays will be fine. Still a good core even without EE (god I'll miss him) and for some reason, I don't know quite why, but I think the Sox might still fuck it up somehow.

Besides, the Jays should be more than talented enough to challenge for a WC spot even if the Sox win 110 games.

I am *very* interested in what the Jays will do with their open roster spots and the money they have burning a hole in their pocket. If they crap out and fail to get anyone good then I reserve the right to freak out and predict disaster.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Sounds like Montoya will be in tonight for Montreal.

 

[ElephantShell]

Sounds like Montoya will be in tonight for Montreal.

But where do they rank compared to the Blues on the fancy stats list? All I care about tbh.


If Bibeau plays a game for the Leafs may god have mercy on our souls.

 

[Red_Man]

People still leaning on about how Price is the only reason for the Habs success....

Expecting a loss tonight, can't image how much the offence will dry up with AGally out for now.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Yandle got hit with a puck last night and will miss a game for the first time in 7 years tonight.

Maybe we will be pleasantly surprised tonight

 

[MetatronM]

I was scratching my head at "5v5 Offense" being a weakness for the top scoring team in the league, too.

Spoiler

I realize it's because their Corsi sucks, that still doesn't make sense.

 

[Gunstar Ikari]

Neal is off of IR.

Have to wonder how ready he actually is if he does end up playing on the 3rd line.

 

[Marvie_3]

the Vegas team is producing a 10 part documentary about their whole process this year...

if anyone cares

it premieres tomorrow http://sinbin.vegas/behind-vegas-ice-documentary-details/

Hopefully its as well done as the name and logo reveal.

 

[Delryk]

Time to put all your bets in!

How many goals on Mon10ya?

Seriously, why the hell isn't Price in? Not like he's been super busy... coach thinks they're going to lose anyway?.. werid.

Habs success?

Lmao, what success? Being 2nd in the league at the end of November is success now?

The only reason someone would call it that is because there's a bunch of frustrated longtime fans desperate for an opportunity to brag about something

 

[Cake Boss]

Ooohhhh shit son. Dis gonna be good.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Why is everyone so mad this week. It's almost Christmas cmon you guys :/

[imBask]

Stars fan trying to tone down the meaning of success sounds about right, gotta lower the ceiling when you're a mediocre team even after fleecing the fuck out of the bruins 4 years ago

 

[MultiJhonny]
