Agreed.

So, with that in mind, which player do we pile on for being terrible today instead??

Clearly this topic isn't as interesting as the last one...

I used up all my good gifs yesterday.

1) Lehner
2) Georges
3) Moulson

In order.

This is the first Eklund blog I have genuinely respected in a long time.

With that said, the Buffalo News already has TWO articles written about him...

There's also a huge difference between reporting sources are telling you (what the Buffalo News is doing) and giving an opinion on the matter (which is what Ek would be doing). It's consistent.

Yeah I could see these manifesting. That being said I don't think it will be as bad as previous whipping boys.

I have to ask, though, is this one really necessary?

They've done a pretty amazing job jettisoning the guys I couldn't stand. Hodgson, Grigorenko, Mezaros, etc.

Moulson is probably my least favorite Sabre at the moment. Seems a nice guy, but holy hell are we paying him more than he's worth.

Yeah, a buddy of mine quantified the Moulson as Gionta contracts as gifts from a rich owner who needed to reach the cap floor so he gave a going away present to two semi-local guys. Respectable ones.

I'd have to see a picture before I can say or

Unless it's a guy, then I can say automatically.

Agree with that.

Nowhere near as egregious as Hodgson / Leino in the $ for play region, and at least bring good attitudes to the ice

Getting rid of Hodgson was our single best offseason move imo(minus the obvious drafting of Eichel).

Well, one of the two stories is an outline of his history of drunkenness and run ins with the law. I suppose its just in case anyone forgot.

Probably pretty accurate. Lehner is gonna have a lot of critics to silence because many people didn't like that trade.

Kane is a D bag

The closest I get to wearing pajama pants in public are yoga pants. I've yet to hear a guy complain about a woman in yoga pants in public (unless of course she shouldn't be wearing yoga pants to begin with, if you get my drift).

Nice analysis there Matt, thanks for doing so.
Must say the orientation of the top graph is weird...normally the worse than/worst than quadrant is in the bottom left, with the Top Right the Better than/Better than quadrant...took me a second glance to notice it. Weird.
- IonSabres

Thank you. The reason for that is that the better you are in corsi against/goals against stats, the lower the number, therefore the better defensive category is below the y axis
