Bogo is such an enigma. You see flashes of a really good player, and then you see him all alone in the corner when the puck is in the back of the net. Bobbling the puck on a clear attempt I would say is mostly bad luck, but it happens so often with him you have to question that. But then he'll make a great pass, or carry the puck out with his head up and a head of steam and make a great pass for a goal/great chance. I really don't know what his deal is. I would guess it's just too many minutes. Much like Weber and Franson where less chance to (frank) up means less (frank)ing up. But to be fair to him he has yet to have a "good" coach, so maybe?

I think the expectations are just different because of his draft status and pay check.

He isn't Gorges bad. But he also isn't anywhere near 5 mil good

Jesus, Anguilla is still off the air.

Barbuda is "barely habitable".

Saint Martin's 4 biggest buildings are totally destroyed, all the others are totally or partially destroyed.

She's still at 185 with gusts to 225 and she's back to 914MB after weakening a bit to over 920 earlier today/late last night.

And Jose is hot on her heels.

But Irma is a hoax.

No he's not.

But I'm not even taking that into consideration.

I wish he was good.

He's an easy guy to root for. Does a ton of charity, seems like a great teammate

One station on one of the islands, Antigua maybe? recorded a 155mph gust and then it broke and went off the air.

Because he doesn't fatigue like if you asked many other defensemen would.

I have 0 (frank)s to give about underlying numbers, all I care about are wins. Look at the Kings, Corsi darlings, and they miss the playoffs. Carolina too.

Edit: Generally speaking when one is referred to as a "minute munching" defenseman, it means he can handle said minutes.

i mean corsi is just one stat. if you use just one advanced stat you're going to end up with a lot of misconceptions

And yet it's the one the majority of stats heads use as the most important stat even to the detriment of other stats.

I'm not saying stats don't have their place, they do, but until we admit they're fundamentally flawed we're not going to get anywhere.

I don't think it should be all or nothing. It should be a mixture.

The problem is when one is 100% dismissed.

I was never a huge fan but they're an institution, everyone knows all the words to all the songs and they played their music really well. I thought the video screen was amazing but the human showmanship sucked - three guys stand stockstill or walk around bored while Bono does his wierd posing out front.

Beck was freaking amazing and way under appreciated by the crowd.

But I was also the designated driver last night so I was sober and may have the whole thing entirely wrong.
