Speaking of D men, looking at Risto's WOWY.......Holy hell it's getting bad

Reinhart with Risto CF- 43%
Reinhart without Risto -CF- 53%

Kane with Risto - CF- 40.4%
Kane without Risto CF 50.2%

not surprising, most of us saw it coming with the heavy workload. Hes just not a great shot suppression guy. The raw CF numbers are still fairly good last i checked. its the CA. Granted a lot of the shots he gives up are from the outside but you'd like someone in the top 4 to be in that tanev/Braun style of play.

My dad just sent me that there is a rumor (sources unknown) that it will be Kane for Montour or Theodore. Not sure if anyone has heard this also.

Pretty sure he's participating in the Bald for Bucks campaign. They had an advertisement for it the other day. If you donated a certain amount you could be entered in to win a meet and greet with him after the game (I think it was the Rangers game, I've been to too many recently and they're all starting to blur together).

The last time i saw my dad, I got a carton of cigarettes. The old man grabbed me and said, "Hey, smoke up Johnny." All right? So go home and cry to your Daddy. Don't cry here, okay?

I like the kid as a player, a lot. But this team needs to operate as if they do not have a #1 D man.

Absolutely the way we looked at it too, which is why we are spending the extra on it.

There's a restaurant in EPCOT that was among the best things we did at Disney when I went with my family. It's even better if its just adults.

There's a lot more detail needed for me to go all in on those numbers.

The reason I say that is I'd want to know the number of in close shots given up, medium range shots, and shots on the outside.

I'd want to compare that percentage to the league average and then the high end guys.

If a high end D player only allows say 20 shots against during an average game but 50% of those are in close, while another D player allows 26 shots per game, but only 30% of those are in close, how much of a difference does the 6 shots really mean, especially if the bulk of the remaining percentage are shots from the outside (which would be another percentage needed meaning league average shooting percentage from outside, medium distance, and in close).

The paragraph above is the prime example of why I want very little to do with advanced stats which watching something I'm attempting to enjoy as entertainment.

Otherwise, it will be exactly like what I do for a living, and I certainly get enough of that during a normal 60 hour work week.
