Remind me, these are the number of points a team needs to pick up before the Sabres winning-out still won't pass them, right?
Unless than win the lottery....
-
###### every other team to varying degrees. Every single one of 'em. No McEichel in the east other than Buffalo...you're crazy if you'd like to see that happen.
I know, I don't know what's going on here. You'd think the NHL was a charity organization based on some of the talk here.
-
I don't understand this 1) I want McEichel going to a rival or 2) I want McEichel trying to expand the fan base of a franchise a team that has no business even existing. I want one of McEichel on the Sabres and the other on a team I wish the Sabres never have to play. What ever happened to the Sabres winning a Stanley Cup? Or, is the 0 we've won already good enough?

Two absolute ###### goals given up by Fasth. This ones over.
Edm still has some fight left in them, despite our fire sale. This isn't going to be till it's over.

Arizona loses all their remaining games and is awarded 7 magic "Darcy points" to achieve their 61 "Remaining points to clinch" they finish with 124.
Meanwhile, buffalo goes 25-2 and earns 50, they finish with 125.
You're on to something here. Maybe RPTC should be renamed "Darcy Points" or "Darcy Number".

Anyways, I see absolutely nothing wrong with using a brick of bills as a cellphone in Vegas. Doesn't everyone?
Another thought, if Kane was an NFL player, a great one, we'd be clamoring for the Bills to sign him.

Make that 3-0 Laffs
So we're basically losing 6-1.

Do people even realize what an assistant GM does? How is a glorified scout going to orchestrate the downfall of an entire organization, especially in less than one year? This whole idea really needs to go away.
Do you think he doesn't have the ear of his GM?

Canucks are stuck in no-mans land right in the middle of the NHL standings. is there anyone who wouldn't agree Sabres are closer?
Sabres are definitely closer to winning a cup than the Canucks, and probably a lot of other teams that are championing mediocrity. These teams tend to be be highly stable staying in the middle for long stretches at a time. The Sabres don't have that problem anymore. We'll probably be making a strong run at the Cup in 3-5 years while the middlings will stay middlings.

Sabres are pulling away in this contest. Love it. They need to be relentless though and finish the job.
-
Such a beautiful win last night. Could go down in history as one of the most clutch wins in Sabres history. Almost as great as the Miracle on Ice.
I'm sure you'll agree, but the end justifies the means here. I couldn't care less if they win-out the rest of their games with Ryan Vinz in goal just as long as they get that #1 pick. There's no room for moral victories in the CHL and the margin of error is going to be razor thin this year.Why? Because some of us just want the #1 pick; but aren't looking for historic futility records.
-
Oh my gosh, what's that stench!

So with back to backs on Thurs and Fri, any chance Hackett gets the start on Thurs against Edmonton?
This absolutely needs to happen. It would be a big F U to Edm and let them know they have no chance.

I like the Canucks guys. There are mistakes aplenty in this article, but this is the money quote for me:
as we have found there to be a strong correlation between a prospect’s draft-year points-per-game, and NHL games player (pearson’s r =.41 indicating strong positive relationship), which tends to be a moderately better indicator of future NHL success than NHL's Central Scouting final rankings.
A pearsons correlation of 0.41 isn't a strong correlation though.

What does a skating coach exactly do? Haven't these players been on skates since they were toddlers? I guess I find it strange players can make it so far (to the NHL) and still have flawed fundamentals. Or, maybe they get into some bad habits or become lazy and need fine-tuning ever once in a while.
-
Let's be a little careful. There's nothing here proving that you're wrong. These stats show that top prospects can, but don't always, exceed expectations.
Possible real life reasons for this may include quality linemates, good usage, lots of powerplay time, lots of sheltered minutes, etc. Prospects at the very top appear to excel statistically more than what is predicted by NHL equivalency, because they seem to get better-than-average opportunities and thrive in them.
I think it's more of a numbers game. The NHL equivalency is likely calculated on the entire rookie pool. By numbers, there's vastly more average rookies than elite ones, so the numbers elite rookies put up is just going to be completely statistically overwhelmed by the rest of their class. Players that go in the top 5 are so far off the curve, its hard to assign them NHLe numbers. You're absolutely correct though in calculating a modified NHLe. Top 5 players should be compared to top 5 players of the past only. Great job!!

Will we refer to him as Woody?
-
Wild are getting Devan Dubnyk from Phoenix for a third round pick.
Not much for him. But make no mistake, Darcy sees the value in Dubnyk's subtraction over what they're getting back for him. Addition by subtraction if you will. Sort of like cutting Myers in return for McEichel.
-
Haven't we said this like four times now?
Yes and GMTM needs to get his act together. He wants to quote analytics as if the Shart can be awarded solely based on the Corsi. He needs to realize he's playing with the big boys and this is no ordinary season. He needs to realize he's up against people like Darcy and others of the same ilk. These are professional losers and GMTM better respond.

It was probably this:

I think its strange that this kind of conversation could'nt have waited until after practice.

Tank, how's this?
Current standings through games played into 1/8.
Team ----- GP - L - W - OT - PTS - MPP - PR-RPTC
Edmonton 41 23 9 9 55 137
Buffalo 42 25 14 3 53 133
Carolina 41 24 13 4 52 134
New Jersey 43 21 15 7 49 127
Arizona 39 20 15 4 44 130
Philadelphia 40 18 15 7 43 127
Colorado 40 16 16 8 40 124
Ottawa 39 15 16 8 38 124
Columbus 38 17 18 3 37 125
Dallas 39 15 18 6 36 122
MPP = Maximum Possible Points
PR = Points Remaining
RPTC = Remaining Points needed to Clinch 1st Place (will necessarily be > than PR for all (w/ likely exception of team currently in 1st)
Standings current through Joisey & Sabres' games.
This is better. Carolina's 134 was wrapping to the next line. I nudged it over a space above.
-
Too wide?
If so, I can just update all columns in the OP and drop PR & RPTC from EoT update.
I'm not sure if it's too wide, but it's basically unreadable. Keep up the great work though, many of us rely on up to minute CHL standings on our phones.
-
Their goaltending stats, with the exception of losses, are more in the middle. My worry is may cause a few critical losses, Enroth may need to move and bought back in the offseason.
This season, there is no middle ground allowed in gunning for the Shart. You must be near the top of your game or go home. Hope GMTM realizes this.
-
Next game against CAR is absolutley gimongous.
Yep. Good game to recall Hackett and see what he has. Plus, Myers should get more time to heal.
