No sir it’s you who had it wrong Pressure

It’s an attribute There’s obviously a ton of randomness also present We don’t need to necessarily define WHY some players are more, or less, susceptible to nonetheless be aware of the fact some players have proven to be so, over large sample sizes

Yeap. I’ve had multiple from my playing days. They can be all over the place

Nhl.com is literally showing me different 😆 Wasn’t even a phone cache error as I reset it twice to be sure, so odd. Temporary website error I guess. Still showing it wrong for me. edit: it has now resolved First time you’ve accurately contradicted me, congrats! 😉

Stay teal, Ponyboy

Same points, they’ve played one less game

Cozens basically said as much, which was refreshing to hear

Nm I’m guessing “shoot the puck”

What is stp?

Jets too

Peterka - McDavid - Quinn Skinner - Thompson - Tuch Greenway - Mittelstadt - Benson Girgensons - Krebs - Okposo ..unstoppable Johnson - Dahlin Samuelsson - Jokiharju Clifton - Johnson ..still good 6k ..still 6k’ing - - - Obviously won’t happen but it’s fun to think about

Power Cozens Levi for Draisaitl? No for McDavid? That’s an absolute yes from me He’s the best player in the world by far, we’d actually be surrounding him with depth, and all it takes to upgrade from Cozens, a second liner, to maybe the best player of all time is a guy who’s currently playing like a back up and a guy who’s currently playing like a second paid D man. Power would hurt the most given his LT potential, and specifically his floor potential, but a deal for McDavid (if he wants to be here, shout-out to my man Adams) would have us contending for the cup this season

I think what I’m getting as is that the fancy stats seem to do a good job reflecting things on a more simple, basic, pass/fail, yes/no basis ie the stats telling me that Thompson is playing good defensively does in fact jive. I think where they run into trouble is when they start getting into the nitty gritty of their rankings, when it’s time to separate the 95% rotten tomatoes score of Citizen Kane from the 95% of Thor Ragnarok. I think their failings are most exposed when they get into more definitive “statements” of who is better than who and the numbers that get pulled in defence of those stances. Is Zegras a top defensive player now? As recently as last year he was very poor on this front - I obviously believe he has improved but again, when players are bouncing around the extremes year to year I think that speaks to where the data is limited, but not critically flawed i could also just be wrong, and Tage is truly the best defensive player in the game, along with…Sam Reinhart

Basically, “That escalated quickly.” - - - Though I’m not sure the video answers the “why” and is yet another poor tweet from Joe. Broken nose?

I’m entering into the “it’s complicated” stage within my marriage to fancy stats

How the heck could the Sabres be worth less than the Jets

He will be 22 when June 30, 2024 rolls around. 23 in June 2025 - - - 24 in June 2026 25 in June 2027 26 in June 2028 ..ok, so he’s got 3 RFA years after his current deal ( - - - ) expires EDIT: no, 4 I guess, like my original post? Cause there’s the year at he starts at 26 that takes him to 27

The nfl coach thing is kind of a wild stat

Screw chicken hat and teach me about Doc’s contract!

@Taro Tis much more proficient in this area than me but I believe we have his rights for another 4 years after his current deal. He will only have 6 years of accrued service after that point but would be 27 and a UFA there’s honestly a 50/50 chance I’m correct here. But I believe July 1 is where we measure players’ ages from

Ya it honestly could be worse, it’s not a glamour shot, but it’s still objectively funny to tattoo your own face on your body no matter how you do it I think PA is right that’s he’s the bro’s bro

Absolutely. But that kid is not it lol. He’s basically Seth Myers He also has a tattoo of himself so we know we’d consider him a tool if he played on any other team

Narrator: They heard from Bryson again We thought he was gonzo last offseason and he was playing again almost immediately. This seems wishful thinking Agree on Krebs, he’s been a non-entity Our homes games are on the road, we should factor that in
