Al this talk of metrics makes me wonder if they only exist to justify occupations. Hi I’m a hockey analyst. Nice to meet you I’m the tooth fairy.
If a team wins 1-0 and the only goal occurred when an opponent scored on themselves (Eichel on Lehner), how do any other stats matter? They wouldn’t so who cares about any numbers accept the final score?
Worry about “advanced stats” when your standings change based solely on a corsi number. Rant over.
Think of it as Phil moved two guys from third to second line so they can play with Sam. I could be wrong but I bet the KO Mitts Sheary line is more effective than Sam’s line.
I remember these spirited discussions. So much better than everyone saying how bad they are in so many ways. Bottom line as long as we win let’s watch them push each other in net. Dance puppets.
ERod on the PP and should be on the third line with the ability to play on the second. He needs to play full time, no scratches.
Resign Skinner and make whatever moves are necessary to accommodate. Anything we lose would be marginal.
