I'm really surprised by your feelings on this Swamp.

That's putting it mildly

It's because you're not a jerk about it.

I don't know why you're even bothering. PA is all in on being "old man yells at cloud" about anything related to advanced stats.

I just want to thank pi for continuing to be super duper wrong about many things

Right. The Leafs are what I would describe as precarious in the context of playoff success. They shoot a lot but they're a little below average on defense. San Jose is just crazy where they are right now on the chart. They're limiting opponents shots and taking shots like crazy. But they might be a little too far into the good square for their own good compared to a team like Tampa. Tampa is on the same general trend line but is having more success in the win column. It's not exactly directly predictive.

Housley you son of a bitch! I didn't think you'd actually do it!

It's not too crazy. A bad team gives up a ton of attempts against, and doesn't generate much offense. A dull team gives up very little against, but doesn't generate much offense. A good team generates respectable offense and defense. A fun team generates offense but not much defense. Honestly, I would rename "fun" as "scary". But it's rare for a team to creep too far into the fun square, so I guess you can call it fun if you have a team that is high scoring but a little loose defensively. The Sabres are on the line between dull and bad because of how bad their offense is. Their defense is basically the deciding factor. They could tumble into bad soon, or they could start generating more offense and drag themselves closer to the absolute middle of the chart (where the most average teams are). It's better to be dull or good than bad or fun.

Man. That's a bummer. It's not surprising though. I know a lot of guys who played college or juniors who basically stopped playing and really don't have any interest in picking it up again. I think it can happen with anyone that if you do something long enough you kinda get tired of it.

It all starts and ends with you guys. You bring it on yourselves. It would be a very simple problem to solve. But apparently grown men would prefer to be big babies and cry about how talking about the games bums them out.

Some people really like projecting negative connotations onto entirely harmless posts about stats and then getting upset about it.

February 23rd, the Caps game.

I think they also have cocktails. I want to say I remember there being liquor bottles at the main bar in the harbor center on the player benches side.

Um, they have beer at the Beauts games too.

Yup. I never played the other ones so I wouldn't have guessed the ending. Now that I know what happens, I'm not super excited to get there.

That's a good idea. I think I might do that with where I'm at currently. Make another save so I can go back and play around.

So I found out things about the RDR2 story I didn't want to know and now I've decided I'm not going to finish it lol Also, Ace Combat 7 comes out today. Very exciting. I loved the originals way back in the day.

Unfortunately we already have plans for that day, so we won't be. Getting to more games has not gone well for us this year. I know we're theoretically going to the bar after the SabreSpace Meetup game, but there is a Beauts game right after the Sabres game. Maybe we should keep the party going there and then go the bar? At this point it'll have to be the Playoffs in March before we get back to one.

Yeah. I think they will if he's still here.

She survived by a few votes. But it's not looking good for the May government. One foot in the grave.

I didn't realize Baloo was an RFA. That's going to make fulfilling his desire to get traded pretty tough. Most teams would probably prefer to have the Sabres not qualify him and take him cheaper in UFA. Burakovsky is definitely the most interesting name on that list to me. Maybe Oleksiak.

I haven't said a damn thing of substance in this thread.

I'm still happy to see Chris Tanev in the NHL. Kid has had himself a nice career since the Frozen Four 9 years ago.

I would really like Ullmark to get this start tonight but I don't trust Housley to do it. I would also really like them to try LITERALLY ANYTHING different with PP1.

Stop. You guys are killing me ?
