5 more games, if he doesn't find his groove he should a healthy scratch.

Haven't tried it myself, but one of the guys in the press box gave the new Maui FireDog a hearty thumbs-up a couple of weeks ago. He said it cost him $9.

They look real good in the promo highly doubt they are that good at the game?

When I was at the Mariners games last April the hot dogs in the ball park were so disappointing. And one would think ball park franks would be unreal. All else was great from nachos to fish to pizza and the craft American beer but wow was it an expense to eat at the game. After a few I just bought the $20 seats in the home run zone and went and ate at the pub after after.

It was probably a leftover hot dog from the day before

I agree anyone spewing Corsi stats in a small sample size is annoying and 1040 are already annoying as it is.

We know afterwards that they should be there but at the time Col was winning, there was a large debate about whether that possession stats meant anything. Same with LA in 2012 because only a few were predicting dominance.

Looking last years leaders, the only guy who stands out to me in the top 20 is trevor lewis who came in as the 18th best player as far as CF%. He still had a decent season considering his role though.

Semin would be ranked at 25 right after Crosby and before Letang, and Semin only had 15 EV points in 57 games. I would consider him as a guy that should of produced more but didn't.

John Micheal Lies at 40 with 15 EV points in 57 games.

David Booth had good possession numbers in Van I think but was a disappointment statistically. I'm sure there are many more player we could find with good corsi and are poor players.

My point with Stralman and Tanev was that judging them by traditional stats, points, hits, +/-, etc didn't show how good of players they are, while possession stats have shown them to be consistently very impressive.

Mason Raymond use to have great Corsi here but would hold his line down from accomplishing any offense season after season...

His 25G 53 pt year he had his best CF% and the following year when he had 15 G and 39 pts was pretty good. The two years after that both his CF% and his pt total were bad.

Although when he scored 19 and had 45 pts for Toronto his CF% was his worst.

So 53 pts with his best CF%, 45 pts with his worst CF% and 39pts with a pretty good CF%. Advanced stats for individual players in a team game doesn't make sense to me.
