A word overused by desperate fans trying to defend a player.

File it in the same category as "classy"

"ooooh, such a classy player"
"such a classy organization"
"such classy fans!"


zzzz

But I see a lot of intangibles when people talk about a player that (frank)ing blows.

Ah, I see... so the definition of a word chances wether it suits your stupid argument or not.

Well I'll be damned! I'm gonna use that tactic more often.
- Pecafan Fan

So change the word from intangibles to "the little things" it makes no difference, the fact is your argument is that the word is used to only describe poopty players and you are wrong.

The Redefinition of Intangibles by Alice Waugh. Fascinating.




Who's Alice Waugh?

Blocking shots, hitting, going to the net... it' called one thing.

Playing hockey.

Mike Augello: Nonis Not Convinced By Corsi

I've suggested this before.

How about:

ShotAttemptFor * (ShotAttemptForDistance/LeagueAverageShotAttemptDistance)

-

ShotAttemptAgainst * (ShotAttemptADistance/LeagueAverageShotAttemptDistance)

If you can collect that data, I don't see how that simple modification ISN'T an improvement on Corsi.

Would love Robidas, always loved his game, but at Salary: 3.55 million USD (2012)

He's UFA after this year. i'm not concerned about the salary. I'm concerned about him suddenly forgetting how to play. He reminds me of Beauchemin.

If they are in sell mode maybe they do Liles + something of value for Robidas.

Even out the cap hits + they get a piece back.

right handed d : Girardi Gudbranson for Gardner?

so another player that blows........
- drexel

Doing all the little things.

he sat on Reimer for like 4 seconds while the play was going on.

Ughhh.. why can't you see how bad he is?
- Arctic_AARDVARK

also left him not broken stick laying on the ice.. and forget to tell kuli it wasn;t broken when he gave him a stick(and i'm not saying kuli couldn;t have acted differently)

- markmark

Yeah that would work. Seems like a quality character to add for the short term and Liles gone, win/win...

Cause we never have any of them swing by from the other teams. Maybe they don't exist.
