Whole thread has become a middle school lunchroom of name calling.

Wilson is one of the best writers out there and deserves better.

Keep it to hockey.

I'm hoping Boeser and Staal are back for the next games. I never have a chance to check on Mondays.

No idea. I do know though that I've personally only ever flagged one comment ...and it was by accident haha.

Alex Winters, best known as Bill from the Bill and Ted movies, is the actor in the video for "Knock Me Down" by Red Hot Chili Peppers.

I usually solve internet disputes the rational adult way, by punching the person through the monitor.

If only that was possible! hahah

Wow, looked at the lines from practice over at Pensburgh and threw up in my mouth a little. I cannot believe HCMS is planning to take the one good defensive player we have and hand him an anchor...also the fact that Cullen is playing in his 13th straight game, offering next to nothing out there right now.

FWIW, I don't believe there is much of difference between stats and analytics.

A statistic is a singular piece of raw data (i.e. a shot, a goal, etc.) in a given data set. Statistics is a branch of mathematics that deals with analyzing data sets to infer proportional relations from a sample (i.e. lottery odds). "Analytics" is either computation of those data sets (i.e. goals/60), or the information gained from analyzing those computations (i.e. how effective a team is at something, "exciting" vs. "boring"). The only difference that I see between the two is that "analytics" takes the extra step to make a conclusion while statistics stops at the numerical end.

That said, while I think that analytics are not the be-all/end-all some people preach them to be, I do agree with you in general in this thread, that they are useful tools to have.

Are the ingredients of a cake a cake, or do you have to bake it first?

4 game losing streak in November and the sky is falling for a lot of people.

I don't know, but I don't ever say, "I'm going to put some beef franks and patties on the grill."

This happens every season lol

wow. JoeQ fired.

But that last season collapse where they missed and this year's lackluster start prob did him in.

It's the GM that needs ousted. Their salary cap is structured on past success and they've stopped hitting grand slams on deep picks and overseas FAs.

I agree. But imagine the fan outrage if they'd let Toews and Kane walk as UFA's after they'd just won their 3rd Cup in 6 years.

Seabrook, on the other hand...

It's the same analogy, I just use meats instead of cake.

To no bigger surprise, DeSmith will start tonight: https://mobile.twitter.co...tatus/1060217193143681024 Now lets see whether we put together something that looks like defense...

Ya isn't it funny that Staal's 335 consecutive games streak ends the Very first day he is on my/our roster... ... but not our fault, it was communicated ("illness dtd") just 30min before the game.
