You do realize it’s fake, right?

And with Matthews out, the league is missing a ton of goal scoring ability.

Ok, we’re on a different page here, talking about different organizations.

So you're crediting them for the decision to move on from Skinner but you don't want to judge a team's operations based on a single player transaction? You don't have to argue with every single post, particularly the ones that are rhetorical.

Do we know who was consulting him at the time of the McDermott/Beane hires? Would it still have been Brandon at that point? I'm not so sure how much of a factor that initial help played in both cases, but we do know that the Sabres ownership started with LaFontaine immediately pulling the Abe Simpson:

I hate it when the jets fire someone because it opens up that very small chance that they finally get it right.

Does Carolina really deserve all that much credit since they kept the guy around for 8 years?

Or they’re ahead because they’ve played 2 more games. One of those top 4 spots has opened up. Now we’ll wait and see who claims it.

Is this the same group from a month or so ago that had a couple bouncyball players in it?

I hope they do the nfl too because I want to see those side by side. It’s one hell of a head scratcher.

I finally understand that train whistle at bills games after watching this thread quickly get derailed.

9 extra games? What a slacker.

Look at the rest of their schedule. It’s brutal. Even the 4 games against Ohio should be rough given the way that division has always played.

I’d also swap the x and the y and flip the direction of the expected goals against, but that’s a story for another day. There’s a few head scratching decisions in there. But that’s the last attention I’ll pay to these figures for a little bit. I’ll never question their usefulness, I just don’t enjoy looking at them.

I’d be curious to see how many (or how few) teams actually do.

Maybe it’s just a matter of semantics, but expected goals against doesn’t sound like a measure of workload.

I heard this one the other day. Gretzky was the fastest all time to 1000 points, in 424 games. The second fastest to 1000? Gretzky with the 433 it took to get to his second 1000 points. Lemieux took 513 games.

I don’t mean it as a bad thing. He’s just different. It feels like one of those movies where the outcast suddenly finds love. Hopefully that catch was the moment where that outcast first gets noticed.

No, it was a car too. I had been pushing this thing around.

Apparently I’ve learned how to travel back in time. I was raking yesterday and a car drove by with a 4-5 year old in the passenger seat.

All I can picture when I hear mini helmet is those football helmets they used to sell in the quarter gumball-style machines in the grocery store.

Wow, he really puts off the vibes of a loner who doesn’t fit in anywhere.

Ho hum… another 30 points. Wash rinse and repeat.

That snap looked pretty bad

Yeah, it is pretty funny.
