So you think his contract is the best of those 8? Wow. I'm honestly confused as to why.

Ah, reverse it. Reading comprehension = zero.

The speculation that the Isles should get better because the kids are a year older, as well as addition by subtraction of Andrew MacDonald?
- bradleyc4

Bourne's an Isles fan and he knows that team inside and out -- I tend to trust his opinion anyway, but for anything Isles he might as well be Carl Sagan.

It's all circumstantial. None of us truly know to what extent they have used analytics.

So then how do you know that NHL teams are years ahead of what the public sees, and have been collecting stats for years?

That sounds like a bunch of heresay to me. Very circumstantial. I refuse to believe anything I read unless it can be backed up by video evidence, signed, dated, notorized documents, and separate sworn statements from no less than 5 people with first-hand knowledge of the question at hand.

Actually I don't know for a fact. Because teams are reluctant to talk in detail of how they use analytics. But the same circumstantial evidence of comments made by NHL insiders such as Bob McKenzie, and from coaches and GM's leads me to believe that is so.

So we're presenting something as a fact, when it (in fact) is not?

Aren't you vehemently against that?

Irrelevant to the conversation. You can view how I presented something anyway you want. I don't care.

Look pal, we can't even agree on the meanings of "completely", "literally", and "blindly" and now you have the infernal gall to bring out a world like "vehemently"?


How dare you?

If you want to discuss analytics, opinions on how teams are using them, or any other related subject, I'd be glad to do so. But not interested in nonsense such as discussing how in your view I presented a post. That has nothing to do with the conversation.

I don't believe you.

Yeah, it's worse than bad, unless last season was a hiccup. If last season was the start of a full on downward trend, it'll be (frank)ing horrible.

Rouyn-Noranda - 1

No points for Aubé-Kubel
