Edmonton, Toronto, and Ottawa?
I guess i'm just really salty about advanced stats because I used to hang out a lot more on HFBoards.
Some fucking people are still defending Sekac's advanced stats with the Habs
All that matters is your favourite team/player is in the top right of these charts.

Pretty great to know that no matter how shitty American education has been, we're still not even the worst in North America.

Duchene and MacKinoon are going to miss the next two games and then be reevaluated. Hopefully that's indicative that MacK's ins't that serious. Still sucks both are missing the 4 point game versus Minnesota.

Hey, somebody have an abacus I can borrow? Or a Rosetta Stone for this shit?
What is this language? Is this hieroglyphics? Or have aliens come down and dropped this on you?

So Vanek is scratched again today lol
That is usually the way it works, yeah.
I wish lol, sometimes you have, say CF60 on the X-axis and CA60 on the Y-axis, so unless the Y-axis gets inverted then bottom right is the optimal location on the chart. D;

Clinching senario's for today:
The Washington Capitals will clinch the Metropolitan Division title and the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference if they defeat the Ottawa Senators in any fashion.
The Dallas Stars will clinch a Stanley Cup Playoff berth if they defeat the Chicago Blackhawks in any fashion OR if they get one point against the Blackhawks AND the Minnesota Wild lose to the Los Angeles Kings in any fashion OR if the Wild lose to the Kings in regulation.
The Anaheim Ducks will clinch a playoff berth if they get at least one point against the Montreal Canadiens OR if the Arizona Coyotes lose to the Edmonton Oilers in any fashion.
The San Jose Sharks will clinch a playoff berth if they defeat the St. Louis Blues in any fashion OR if they get one point against the Blues AND the Coyotes lose to the Oilers in any fashion OR if the Coyotes lose to the Oilers in regulation.

In terms of general acceptance, it was really unfortunate that hockey analytics bubbled to the surface right around when Moneyball became a household term and seemingly every Mr. Serious hockey blogger decided Fenwick was just as useful as fWAR.
Of course, that was a long time ago, and of course, not every - or even a majority - of bloggers were like that. But it only took a few guys overstating the effectiveness of early analytics to sour the hell out of it for lots of people, fans and media alike.

Freddy the Goat got sent back down to the AHL
blowzak must be back
Hope he busts, Leafs can't afford to have their center depth chart be any bigger.
It's that time of the month again. Complaining about Craig Button's draft rankings!

Replace Higgins and Hamhuis and forward lines 2-4 and the entire d corps AND goalie are the future.
This gets me so harddddddddd 🍌🍌🍌
That's kinda throwing Alfredsson into the fire...
Alfredsson as GM? Isn't he still just an advisor or something like that?
Seems like a massive jump from advisor to GM, but I guess if the entire front office is getting cleared out and he's sticking around, it could be a matter of seniority that the position is open for him.
Hanta Yo is ready for an NHL comeback.

He said THIS area of criminal activity. Mr. 'NPop checks out.
Armed robbery, though?
Stay away from his turf at Knott's Berry Farm. Don't horn in on his funnel cake market.

Past trends would point to 'yes' since this organization seem to likely to hire from within. But if management is let go and Melnyk decides to go look outside then who knows.

Mike Keenan is taking his skills to Ottawa
William Nylander is tied with Nick Kypreos in points with the Leafs.
William Nylander - 12 GP, 4G, 3A, 7 pts.
Nick Kypreos - 54 GP, 4G, 3A, 7 pts.
#Blessed
President of Hockey Operations seems like the better gig for him, imo.

Leaning more towards Vancouver, Edmonton and Ottawa.
Toronto is at least playing better, they just have a scrub line up.
I really don't see Vancouver being more than mediocre for a long time.
Ottawa is hilarious because 90% of their problems are their owner hamstringing them.

You think the legal dream team on the Matt Cooke investigation came cheap?
Yeah, I would think even Alfie would admit that he's still learning the ropes and that the time is not quite now.... and yet when he had the opportunity to say so, he went another way.
I have to think that Cameron is most likely gone at the end of the season, but something tells me that Murray may still be in the driver's seat as to his future. That's just me, though.
Melnyk is apparently going to be on PTS at 6pm and then on TSN at 7pm during the Sens pre-game show, so we may get some clarifications soon enough.
One thing that's true is that we are a fucking gongshow of an organisation tho. You don't hear any other owner in pro sports throwing a tirade 10 games before the season is even done. No other team throws its dirty laundry onto the public as much as we do, it all comes from the owner and the GM.
The day that they are gone can't come soon enough.
