and this is a bad thing? Bowl-u is not very good...

I really don't mind the idea of some of these guys coming to camp to win a job. With his play last year and cap hit, I don't think you can trade him for much. Let him fight it out.

Patches looking for a 6 to 8 year deal. Figures not mentioned.

Only length.


No girth.

Pass

Sure, but shot attempts are infinitely more important than a face off.

and then??????????

The biggest faceoff of the entire NHL season was won by Lars Eller, a 49% guy and a third line center.

It's not like RoR wins 80% cleanly or something.
- Lunaion

no, not 80%...that would be phenomenal.
just a mere 60%, while the rest of the team went at a 45% rate collectively.

yes, I was frustrated with the Mitts pick last year ... from a position perspective since they were obviously so devoid of D talent...a gapping hole.
Similar to the LW gappign hole this year.
- IonSabres

The one thing I would have gotten right is I didn't like the Nylander pick. I wanted the Russian Dman. That was a stupid pick.

can we send baeiou down just to rid ourselves of him?

HEY!!! That's Baloo The Bear!!!

If u substitute “scoring chance” then I’m with ya
About 80% (guessing, maybe more) of shots don’t have much chance of being a goal unless the goalie screws up or they’re deflected

Hahahaha

How’s family life sir?
Nice to cya back around

It's crazy as can be.

Happy to have written my final daycare payment of my life. That'll be an extra $1300 laying around every month.

I come around for certain events. Probably disappear after the draft for a bit again.

But it’s been proven that shot attempts = more wins. Again, not the only factor, but one of the most important

It has not been proven that faceoff wins = wins

That’s the difference

ROR is still as Sabre... BOOM

and then??????????
- hehateme

In our case, among the worst in the league in shots and dead last in shooting %. If you want to see a strong correlation to winning, not much better than shots and shooting %.

HEY!!! That's Baloo The Bear!!!

Why is there a bear in the jungle?

- IonSabres

That's the point, it's still pretty close to a coin flip. Sometimes the coin falls in the mud, but you have to pick a winner anyways.

When it was all on the line this year, it was a 49% guy vs a 48% guy.

- sskkoo1

Why was there a polar bear on the Lost island?

Exactly, hence why I bring it up.
he seems to be happy with his game, when in fact he has miles to improve.
- IonSabres

I’m not saying he was definitely the problem either

I do think a lot of these locker room issues go away once we start winning games

And i think that starts this year

and then??????????
- hehateme

Hahahahahaha

Was super drunk one night in nyc & almost got a “sweet” tattoo
My buddy was gonna get “dude”

Thankfully there was a wait at 4am for some reason & we just went to the after hours party

It's crazy as can be.

Glad all is well
Daycare is nuts
$1300/month is more than college

Of course faceoffs on their own don’t = a win
No one said that
Doesn’t mean they aren’t important though

How much worse do u think our PP would be if Jack is losing those draws and costing us 20seconds or so to be run off?

Even when faceoffs don’t directly lead to goals, it still factors in

You discount them way too easily

Eichel was 41% O’Reilly was 60%. Which in terms of faceoff stats that’s like the largest gap there is.

And yet it still would only be a 1 out of every 5 faceoff difference.

Boy, you are straight fooked when it comes to politics, but you sure know hockey lol.

Totally agree fitzy. Good post.
- RhinoFan

Boom
Hahahahaha

And no, Rhino is not a second account of mine
He’s obviously just a super smart dude!

How many PP faceoffs does RoR win above average per game? 1?

- sbroads24

Sure,
But I bet Eichel’s % on the PP would be even less, since he’d almost always be going up against the other teams’ best faceoff guy

This is the problem i have when u take a stat like his overall faceoff % and then just apply it to a specific situation

It’s not gonna be the same,
yet u talk like there won’t be a difference
