Should analytics be banned from normal everyday threads?

Lat me ask a question:  Do you analytics folks post when the Sabres should have won, but lost?  It is an honest question.

I’m not sure I’m an analytic folk, but I distinctly recall such a conversation after a loss to the Rangers early on this season. I think this happens regularly when the Sabres lose, but deserved better. Not for nothing: That hasn’t happened too much this season.

I look forward to digging up and replying anew to this post while sitting in a self-driven Uber. Shoot. They’re back online in Pittsburgh, yes? (Only for testing?)

Well then let's leave them alone and let them do their thing.

Leave who alone to do what?

Just restating my original opinion, which I think you agree with, that if some folks want to get all analytic, let 'em.

Dumb thread.  And by the votes so far I'm not the only one who thinks that. Landslide "L" for OP's garbage take.

Thanks. When I drop in and drop out over the course of days, I lose the thread sometimes. Like: "Wait, what are we talking about?"

Looks like you have not read the whole thing.  You are missing a lot, if not all, of the context behind the OP.

Technically I am that OP. Might want to double check why and how this came about.

Anyone want to do a quick recap or quote a few key comments? I voted when this first started but I don't really want to read through 6 pages of stuff. I'd appreciate it.

Using stats is great, except when it sucks.

Differing views on when that is.

Some people really like projecting negative connotations onto entirely harmless posts about stats and then getting upset about it.

Why has this beaut not been locked yet?

Why should it be? The conversation was still ongoing.

I can't even imagine where our notion of condescension is coming from.

Liger started this thread with a Corsi of 65% but that has since dropped to 58%.

PA's Hunwick number has gone from 6 to 12.

Swamp's TPS ratio is not being reported using the new cover sheets.

And matter has only one zone start, and it wasn't positive.

I think that covers it.

Thank you all for the extremely helpful posts, lol

You are a co-conspirator now. It wasn't up to you to ask the questions. (And you botched them pretty badly.) Own it.

Its been a contentious few weeks on the board here. We really need another win streak to pull us back together.

It all starts and ends with you guys. You bring it on yourselves. It would be a very simple problem to solve. But apparently grown men would prefer to be big babies and cry about how talking about the games bums them out.

Alright, it is time to lock this.
