Only applies to short handed goals. Power play goals doesn't do anything to either teams plus minus.

If you get a short handed goal against while on a 5 on 3 do you get a double minus?

Ah, seriously, you get double pluses?

Only if the goal is scored in the last minute of the first penalty.

Yeah ok. That's what I thought.

Wouldn't that be a disaster?

Friends of mine are going to Cuba for an all inclusive...another friend says to them, don't do it, the food is awful. Lol.
I vouched for him and said I heard it on hockeybuzz. After explaining what hockeybuzz was I had a lot of blank faces looking at me.

Of course. Biblical, probably.

The food is awful. Your friends will be cursing you when they're cracking porcelain.

Spectacular beaches though.

I'm heading to the Dominican in a few weeks. Hopefully the all inclusive buffets are better than Cuba.

I've never been but I've heard they're excellent.
It's going to be tough to miss the playoff drive.

You'll miss Miller either female doging about the refs or his teammates, but you can probably catch the sequel.

Here's an article I bookmarked a few years ago (bullfrog will love it as it mentions Edler's terrible plus/minus) http://www.arcticicehocke...worst-statistic-in-hockey

I think it's a pretty good intro of what is wrong with +/-
In addition to this article, +/- also applies to when we have an extra attacker on the ice (how many one goal games have we lost...?) So anyone on the ice during a 6-5 that get's scored on in getting a minus (Brett Burns for example has 7 EN goals against).

I'll be honest: reading this actually gave me more faith in +/- than before. Other than the first conclusion, which I still had issues with, I thought the other 2 were just straight up bad stats analysis. We should probably never discuss +/- ever again.

oh yes much better.,\
the issue with cuba is the trade embargo that was placed on cuba (since what the 60s?) disallows spices into the country. So no salt, pepper, garlic or other spices normally used in cooking. Of course the payoff is theres no americans allowed in the country !

So depends on where you go and what you like. If youre the type to want lots of spices then it'll be bland.

But if you go to cuba, go into the cities. Its extremely safe to walk alone at night even. Food is way better there. Real cuban food, not the western crap you get at resorts

Please tell me you guys were just having a laugh and I didn't witness multiple Vancouver fans learn the +/- rule.

This explains so much. So much.

If you're that gullible, then that explains a lot.

interesting....where'd you find that??

so PP goals arent on the +/-?

Maybe we should ask Edmonton fans I am sure they will have more info on the rebuild.

Apparently you didn't get the memo. We are allowed to talk about the Canucks. We are allowed to talk about 28 other NHL teams. We are allowed to talk about food and adult beverages. We are not allowed to talk about the Leafs.
