What the hell is happening.

What the hell is happening.

Flyers hockey?

 

[Red_Man]

the leafs problems completely boil down to speed and confidence, not the SOG. Correlation != cause

It also comes down to them not possessing the puck nearly enough, and their goalies save percentages regressing back down to earth and getting exposed for it finally. All these guys seem to have predicted the collapse fairly easily considering you consider it all bullshit. I'm not saying the math behind it is flawless, but I think it's pretty ignorant at this point to say it's completely useless.

Flyers hockey?

Yep. Normally Mason bails us out at least four or five times a night. That isn't happening today.

Edit. Emery to start 3rd.

 

[Socreges]

MARTY!!

St. Louympics!

 

[jello44]

Razor Ray[mon] in net now.

This is essentially what I was going to type. Look at the teams that have good corsi numbers and look at those teams and where they are in the standings.

Of course the numbers and math isn't infallible, but to dismiss every year this projects things correctly as a coincidence or a fluke is absurd.

If the Leafs miss the playoffs I think Carlyle is safe. They exceeded expectations last year and they do have a decent team.

Mackenzie has already mentioned he could be in danger sooner then later if they don't turn around, if they miss the playoffs I would think it's guaranteed he's gone. When Mackenzie is saying you could be fired, you know he got it from inside the organization.

 

[wsoxfan1214]

Whose announcers are these on the NHLN broadcast of the Bolts/Flyers game?

 

[brucewaynegretzky]

Flyers.

EDIT: As a homer, I'd just like to say the fact that it isn't immediately obvious at all times makes them leagues better than about 1/2 of local broadcast teams just as a baseline.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

Holy shit, Barrie has a shoulder injury and Holden is about to be a father. AHL defenseman in for the game against the Wild. Oh boy.

 

[ZeroGravity]

Lmao, another breakaway for Kucherov that he can't score on

 

[Var]

So many chances that we haven't finished up on...

Less than 2 years with the team... that would suck if he were fired. But I guess if the players aren't going the coach has to.

 

[HadesGigas]

So the Sabres sent Grigorenko back to juniors, again. And the word is Grigorenko is refusing to go there.

 

[wsoxfan1214]

Fix your damn feed.

McPhee pls

 

[ZeroGravity]

Great, Johnson hacked, injured, no call. Fucking awful officiating in this game.

 

[wsoxfan1214]

Tampa Bay's players are as soft as marshmallows. Every hit is an injury.

Flyers throwing headshots again. Shocking.

 

[brucewaynegretzky]

Fix your damn feed.

Yea.... it's been pretty bad today for some reason.

 

[ZeroGravity]

And a headshot on Hedman too. Fucking christ.

 

[bonesmccoy]

corsi is horshit. Anyone who likes mathematics would know the data is really poor.

Corsi/fenwick would be a lot better as a companion stat to a shot quality stat.

in corsi, a shot is a shot is a shot. Anybody who believes a shot from the point with no net interference is equal to a one timer on a 2 man breakaway should probably watch basketball

Corsi and fenwick are, I think, helpful when looked at in conjunction with other stats - like any other stat really. I wonder if the moniker their proponents borrowed from baseball is one of the reason why there's so much annoyance/controversy about it.

As for the Leafs, it's probably more accurate to say that they're built as a rush team, as opposed to this 'quality shot' stuff.

Also, for those looking to feel worse about the situation:

Wait, you think Carlyle is safe if the Leafs miss the playoffs? That's a nightmare scenario if ever there was one.

 

[wsoxfan1214]

lol flyers

 

[ZeroGravity]

Goodnight Philly. Thanks for all the fucking injuries.

 

[Cake Boss]

Tim Murray pls.

Now we'll finally get to see who hates Russian players, Bryan or Timmy Murray.

Probably both.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Philly lost.

Hooray.

 

[MetatronM]

Thanks Bolts!

 

[lamaroo]

Grigorenko will probably require more in a trade than he's worth considering where he was picked. I just don't see anything there with him.

 

[wsoxfan1214]

Some flyers fan on twitter tweets "Classless bolts fans", promptly deletes her tweets and cries about bolts fans "harassing her".

I point out that Philly sports fans really shouldn't be talking about class and she misunderstands and retweets me thinking I'm agreeing with her.

...oh, Philly fans.

 

[Cake Boss]

A lady is offering me the Dell XPS 10.1 inch tablet for $220. Should I take it??

I mostly need a windows tablet for some school work during class.

Just paid off one my student loans. Went from baller to broke.

If you absolutely need a windows tablet, sure. It isn't the best, but if you can't afford a surface, go for it.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Holy fuck! What a shot!

 

[Cake Boss]

Is the surface really that much better, its using the same OS right?

Checked amazon, the Dell one retails for $500.

Yes. The performance of the surface is much much better than the dell one. If you look at reviews of the Dell one as well, it hovers around a 7 but all of the complaints are about the performance.

 

[Coldnoodle]

That predictability!

 

[RC]

Go Seahawks!

I don't really watch football.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Go Seahawks (I guess), Colts, Panthers and Chargers

Brandi Carlile :lol

 

[wsoxfan1214]

Fuck the Taints.

 

[RC]

Brandi Carlile :lol

Yeah, I got a laugh out of that too.

Gotta support the pacific NW teams.

Edit: That was a man getting hit by football.

I love my original Surface Pro, such a great device.

So we are going to get destroyed again tonight:

Gustav Nyquist - Henrik Zetterberg - Daniel Alfredsson
Drew Miller - Justin Abdelkader - Todd Bertuzzi
Tomas Tatar(?) - Joakim Andersson - Riley Sheahan
Daniel Cleary - Luke Glendening - Patrick Eaves

Oh and Howard is starting, yup completely destroyed. Not watching this massacre since I'll be out with friends, thank goodness.

Handegg.

Yeah the pro is a fantastic device.

Not sure what to expect tonight. I never see or hear anything about the Habs.

Should have kept Valtteri.

Should have kept Valtteri.

Or should have not have everyone injured.
