The system doesn't work.
Like what? I've seen his Facebook stuff, unless there's more.
I see no reason to believe he didn't understand the context under which All Lives Matter has become important; ie, its juxtaposition to BLM.
I feel unsafe right now.
I'm not sure what's from Facebook, twitter, or elsewhere, but it boils down to he's basically a new age hippie. Dude is talking about love and peace and whatnot. I obviously can't prove that he didn't know what he was actually saying but Occam's Razor applies here, I think.
He tweeted something to the tone of I JUST WANTED EVERYONE TO LOVE EACH OTHER

Aces sounded so much better =/
Sucks the fans won't get a say for this if that's the case.
Time for Mark Hunter to break some legs
this is an insult to mitch marner and all the great work he's done
Ahh, damn... it would've been pretty cool if they kept the Black Knights.
Aces sounds cool, but I'm not sure if it has the same impact as Knights though.

I feel like Aces fits better as a pun, it being a card suite and a symbol of Vegas' gaming industry.
I don't really put any stock into advanced stats and analytics - I feel like it's mostly hogwash that can be framed to suit whatever narrative about a player you want. But having said that, it's scary to see the Habs letting go their guy when all the other teams have bought in hard. What a regressive franchise.
well, I don't think all the other teams have bought in hard. I think there's probably about 15-20 teams that still are stuck in the past.
relying on "eye tests" and just boxscore watching. Big body, scores often, good family. good genetics.
"Good face."
"Bit of a cowboy walk."
"Doesn't have red hair." (an actual, widespread attitude among football scouts for a long time)
Yeah, I saw. Just don't buy it. Even his bandmates referred to it as his "political views". Not to mention that he did it covertly without telling them.
Yeah I don't like what people have said about Weber either, Solo
I just watched Now You See Me on Netflix.
I saw the sequel first, but I had a general understanding of what happened to the first movie. Now that I've seen the first movie, the sequel seemed really unnecessary. They left out one subplot with Tressler losing his money that seemed to have been their door in for a sequel, but the movie wrapped up in maybe the best possible way.
Overall, I didn't mind wasting my day watching it. It was entertaining enough, and the twist with Dylan was cool, if a bit watered down since I saw the sequel first.
Now that being said, I wish Mélanie Laurent was in more mainstream/North American movies.
Actually, I liked the sequel only because of Lizzy Caplan.

lol I received a warning at HF for saying "all the flavours of the world and you chose to be salty" when responding to a guy saying the Leafs are a garbage ass team.
Kind of makes me want to renew my interest in making that hockey site/fantasy sports/new forum backend again.

They shouldn't even exist, so I don't care what their name should have been.
This is the only name that I liked from all the gambling-themed names.
Maybe Marc Bergevin is like Billy Beane and eventually they'll write a book about him like "Non-Money Puck"

While I believe that analytics certainly don't take the human component into account, they're just another tool for analysis.
Just because a player has 60 points, it doesn't mean he'll get 60 points again. How did he get those 60 points? From where? What was he doing? Who was he doing it against? What kind of team was he on? What system is in place?
As far as I'm concerned, fancy stats just break things down even further and quantifies them to help with the eye test and to help maintain objectivity.
Additionally, all the top teams employ some sort of fancy stats and some even have their own proprietary fancy stat: certainly the recent Stanley Cup winners use them, why WOULDN'T you want your team to use them?

HF is a shitty board filled with terrible mods. Some may think that GAF has over-zealous moderation, but at least GAF really only comes out hard when you act like an asshole. HF mods throw out bans when they wake up on the wrong side of the bed.
Doesn't help the vast majority of fans there are petty and stupid as hell.
As an add-on, I just want to say: advanced stats and analytics are fine, but teams need to balance that out with simply going with your gut feeling and weighing it with the skill of an actual player. Hey, I'm a Jays fan, and their experiments with Moneyball under J. P. Ricciardi in the mid 2000's are well documented for not working. The true balance is not relying completely on advanced stats, but using them to augment your abilities as a management group.
