  1. There is. Slash or high stick?
  2. And we pay Craig Patrick's salary, so +1 juju to us.
  3. I'm looking forward to McCabe. He hasn't been up with us since his seven game introduction more than 10 months ago. He's leading defensemen in points in Rachacha. McCabe had opened some eyes when he was named to the All-B1G team as a junior and then captained the 2013 Team USA WJC team to gold with six points in seven games. He projects as a potential #2-3 defenseman. From HF:
  4. I believe we're currently 3rd only because we're currently last and I refuse to entertain any other reasons.
  5. That was Kate Upton.
  6. That's a bit overpayment, IMO, especially with O'Reilly only having one year left on his contract and being on pace for 43 points this year (Ennis is on pace for 46). Ennis and Pysyk/1st or Pysyk plus picks is more up my alley. And I'm not even that hot on moving Ennis to begin with, but since we're blowin' it all up anyways, it's fine.
  7. I'm ok with that. Obviously depending on other pieces. I think if we wait until off season, we'll have fewer expendable pieces to move out, but not necessarily a shortage of them. Although, more teams may want in, raising the price.
  8. That kid is batting way above his average.
  9. You mean in hand? durrr
  10. I live out here. Not sure I'd want to cross the line. Longshoremen and their union are, generally, nothing to with.
  11. So from that, there's a 1 in 10000 chance that we go 25-0? Even that assumes a 69.8% chance of winning each game. If you use our win percentage (44.4%), we have a 1.53E-9 chance of winning 25 in a row. That's 1.5 in one billion. Let's go cup crazy two tousand... sickteen.
  12. Good. More stuff to dick around with, especially if it's updated nightly like the other stats. I'm waiting for them publicly rank GVS.
  13. Travis Yost makes the front page on TSN, interpreting analytics to say that Myers is a "risky" acquisition- based solely on the examination of Corsi% and ScoringChance%. Cute, but he fails to put that data into context with Myers' Corsi Rel QoC and Corsi Rel QoT: Myers has been playing the hardest minutes on the worst possession team in hockey. Are the Jets taking a risk? Sure. Is it because the Sabres were somehow better at possession and scoring chances because Myers wasn't on the ice? No way. Not with the quality of competition that was put upon him.
  14. No, but I did listen in for the first time in a while. What did I say?
  15. We can laugh about the tank, but that situation would probably destroy the psyches of Risto and Zad.
  16. I think that'd be asking a lot. Baptiste's NHLe is at about 25ish, Bailey's at about 30ish. They're both 19, they should probably both go to the A next year. Maybe play some big-club games for the experience either at the beginning or end of the season.
  17. :thumbsup: You can sort the list by % of capacity... guess who's last. We slide down to 20th.
  18. As stated in the article, that previous franchise low for Florida home attendance that was back in 2007 was 10,063. Florida's average home attendance this year has only been 10,577. Carolina and Phoenix are next at the bottom with 12,500 and 13,254 respectively. Buffalo's still up at #12 at 18401. For Florida to pay their salaries this year -just for the guys on their NHL roster (not their cap hit, not their AHL guys, and absolutely no other expenses)- with their attendance figures, attendees would have to pay an average of $76/seat. And we know they ain't collecting that when they've got $7/seat season tickets available. Their average ticket price is $33.49. I know there's lots of other revenue streams. For comparison, the Blackhawks would need to collect $85/ticket to do the same, and they collect on average $275.65 per seat. (1st in attendance, 3rd in avg ticket price)
  19. Yeah PHam quoted Nolan on Sylvester this morning (if that's not third-hand enough). When asked if the injury to Gorges was season-ending, Nolan's response was "I'm not ready to go there yet." This meshes with the second opinion line. But for now it looks like he's out for a while. Wanna watch some bad hockey? Watch the rest of this season without Gorges. Bogosian's going to play 35 minutes a game, Risto and Zad the other 25, and without the ability to gain puck possession or break out, we might just to break the record for fewest goals for (133 set on 70 games played, currently on pace for 152 in 82).
  20. Buffalo smoked those chumps 7-2 in Imlach's first game back in Toronto.
  21. Byfuglien destroys Gadzic on a suicide pass from Fayne... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Lrn-D38lzw
