Sounds like an issue for the politics club... oh wait, the Yankee.

They should base the draft order off of the mid-season standings when the draft actually occurs, just to see if anyone would notice. I realize they have to hold it when they do, but the timing of that draft has always felt so crazy to me.

Yeah, but was he born prematurely? He may still be 19 if we go by gestational age.😁

Divide both goals and blocks by the number of shots attempted and maybe you'll start to see something. This one in its current form is pretty much useless. We're pretty much just seeing a straight vertical line up the middle at the average number of blocks per game. Personally, I'm amazed at how little variation there is in blocks from team to team. It's tough to make a "block more shots" argument when pretty much everyone is blocking the same number.

If the official term isn't a ***** storm of canada geese, these labels are meaningless to me.

There were a ton of Zhitnik slapshots in the Boston beer leagues, minus any velocity.

I’m way too lazy to look up even the conference records for each team. For me, Cincy is the one big mystery right now. Since there’s no head to head matchup yet, I don’t know what to expect or how they match up.

I wasn’t trying to suggest that we wanted the other outcome. It’s just that Cincy is pretty much the only team of importance who didn’t lose ground on Buffalo this weekend. Sure, Baltimore didn’t either, but they lost their QB in the process.

It drives me crazy that Dahlin needs to answer the bell after throwing a beautiful clean hit on a guy DRIVING THE NET WITH THE PUCK. Sometimes you need to lick your wounds or automatically wind up killing a penalty.

That type of growth curve with this as his starting point? Sign me up. I can’t imagine that there are very many 19-20 year old defensemen eating up the kind of minutes he has so far.

If I ever get back into the beer leagues I’ll be in that same boat. It’s been about 8 years now and I can’t imagine more slap shots to the pad less chest and arms will feel very good with those added years.

Didn’t you see the edits? I can only call myself an idiot so many times. 😄

Crap, what the hell happened in the 4th quarter of the Sunday night game?

I’d say it’s a shame that they didn’t get him the hat trick, but there will be plenty of them by the time he’s done.

No doubt. Cincy is the one interesting scenario at the top of the conference where the Bills don’t control the tie breaker right now. Or maybe they do, I have no idea what comes after head to head. They’re the only team up top that Buffalo hasn’t beaten, or isn’t about to play in the next couple weeks. edit: Ignore that, I’m an idiot. I forgot that they play the afc central this year. editx2: My idiocy continues to grow. The afc central doesn’t exist anymore.

Well that was fun

Pretty much everything went their way this weekend. Baltimore winning is the only thing that even remotely threatens the Bills in the standings. I suppose Cincy does too, but that’s obviously the better outcome of that game.

I was just completely reckless in most spots, throwing myself around at will. I’d side on the gym floor in wiffleball games. It was fun sitting through class the rest of the day with my pant leg sticking to my brush burned shin.

Now that you mention it, I haven’t seen any of the bell ringers yet this year. Odd.

Speaking of volleyball, was anyone else the crazy fool who would dive for the volleyball in high school gym class?

Master of the obvious right there.😁 -Why is something a rule? -Because it’s a rule.

Ahhh crap, I knew it was coming soon. But hey, he was still 19 when Dahlin was out and he was up near 30 minutes.

Why don’t the blocks at the net count as one of the three times you can hit the ball?

A 19 year old defenseman who is eating up minutes and looks like he’ll be a guy who can be out there 30 minutes when needed and they blew the draft? Teenagers and the verdict is already in. 🙄
