I don't know, man. I'm pretty sure I can blame Skinner. All he has to do is know where his man is and not let him get that pass from the boards.

She’s lying to you.

The entire clip, Skinner never turns his head to see where his man is. That’s really bad.

Thanks Mr Wizard. I think the disconnect is that I’ve only ever heard the term selection bias, as it relates to the NHL, being that teams are more likely to draft older players.

Um, having a bs disallowed goal and losing with .4 seconds left is hardly getting "caved in." This is crap. It's all about talent.

Yes and no. Edmonton has a guy. He's the guy. Cozens neutralized that guy. We won.

The Sabres just beat Edmonton.😀 Welcome to the board.

Explain.

God bless you.

They're waiting until after the tank.

I had to reread it to get it,… kinda. Selection bias still has nothing to do with it.

This post said nothing. Keep putting a bunch of words together that make it sound like you know stuff, but until you actually make a point, I choose to believe that you are a bot. Selection bias has nothing to do with size and how it relates to play in the NHL.

I find this reallly interesting. Skill: the ability to do something that comes from training, experience, or practice Talent: a special often athletic, creative, or artistic aptitude Without the talent you’ll never achieve the skill. If you look at the literal definitions, I think LGR has it right. The Sabres are a skilled team that is held back by its talent. But I could see the other way, as well. WORDS!!! (I actually find them way more interesting than a game against the Rangers.)

Now that is funny.

C'mon, Eleven. Where is the reach? I heard that Terry uses the losses of running Sabres to put him in a lower tax bracket so that his take home pay is actually higher.

While I enjoy this thread and find it fun and interesting, I have to believe that most teams have a list like this night in night out, no? I mean, every team has future NHLers that should be dominating in the leagues they are playing in. I really don't mean to piss in the bowl of cheerios, but it's hard to tell what this means or get excited about it until we see how our list compares to the other 31 teams' lists.

They aren't obligated to own the team, so the question is somewhat irrelevant.

Pretty sure he only got around $17-18 million for it, though. They lose like $20 million as soon as you drive them off the lot.

I’m unclear on what I am supposed to be pissed about in this thread.

The “n” in prune puts your tongue on the roof of your mouth, pre-setting it for the “j” in juice, and you don’t have to stop the vocalization during the “n” to “j” transition (fun fact: “j” sound is just “ch” with a vocalization, just like b/p, v/f, d/t, g/k, there may be others.) When saying plum juice, after the “p” you have to close your lips a second time for the “m” with your tongue resting, then time the tongue hitting the roof of your mouth for the “j”, while using your diaphragm to pause the vocalization slightly (for some reason, continuing the vocalization sounds weird through the “m” to “j” transition.) I should have just said that “prune juice” is just easier to say.

What does selection bias have to do with two guys in their fifth and seventh years fighting for a puck in the corner? Seems weird.

Yes. but I don't care that much to post a bunch of links, but here's this. https://www.eliteprospects.com/league/nhl/teams-physical-stats/2020-2021 Click on weight.

They are actually heavier. And I don’t care about hits. Hits are a dumb stat (although, I would be thrilled if we came out on top every game. 😂) That series was pretty even. We were definitely outclassed in the following Ottawa ECF, though.
