I remember using them to point out your hypocrisy

PS.
He who shall not be named is ranked in the top20 centers this year by your fancy stats

But those stats mean absolutely nothing for individual players so...

I really hate late games

Nah it’s pointless. He has 0 clue.

Remember that week he loved analytics?

Analytics supporting RoR = good
Analytics hating Risto = flawed

Skinner has a very good +\- but imo can’t play defense to save his life. Risto isn’t a very good possession player, hence why I like Pilut as his partner. Risto has a place on this team and I think he’s useful in the right role.

Role is huge

Use a guy correctly, they’ll produce better
It’s not rocket science

Right, like how Ristolainen gets the most time of any D man with Eichel and Skinner. You giant dunce cap

So u shouldn’t live & die by their Corsi

And u certainly shouldn’t cherry pick which stats are applicable to some players,
but not to others

No...

Analytics = flawed

ESPECIALLY CORSI

Risto starting with the Eichel line.

Man he’s being burdened again!

Not on Thursdays when we play in the mountain time zone in odd numbered years when it snows

Ristolainen’s most common linemates over the past three seasons

Sam Reinhart
Jack Eichel
Ryan Oreilly


So he plays the most time with our best players, yet puts up bad results....

Any other excuses?
- sbroads24

When you play over 25 minutes a night your most common line mates won’t be Johan Larsson, Zemgus Girgensons, and Seth Griffith ? I’m not saying Risto isn’t undeserving of criticism. I just don’t think he’s as bad as the advanced stats say.

Jack needs to cash that.

Maybe u should stop “actively cheering for Risto to fail”

We see right through you

Oh I’m actively rooting for him to play less absolutely

Can’t believe they didn’t score there.

Dahlin just allowed a guy to go around him & get a scoring chance

All others on the ice should get punished for it though

Oh man I almost forgot the lengthy debate re: Elias Lindholm a year or so ago.

#Sabres D Nathan Beaulieu is not demanding a trade, but simply seeking more opportunity to play.
Whether it’s in Buffalo or elsewhere is the question, per his agent to The Associated Press.

Story upcoming.

Thompson had a shot that was going high & wide, that the goalie decided to glove...
Everyone out on the ice with him should get a “+1” Corsi,
even though he skated in alone & the shot had little (to none) chance of scoring

I liked him a lot in his draft year

Weird how he hasn’t been successful till now
It’s almost like he’s a totally different player
OR
He’s in a better situation to succeed

If only there were a stat for individual shot attempts and their location relative to how dangerous the attempt was......

Kaiser and co. insisting that he's the last kind of player we need.

pfft Hutton gave up a goal like that in the Islanders game and the Hurricanes game

This is the best 3 1/2 periods of hockey they've played in some time. I know sounds ridiculous coming off a 7-2 loss but it's been pretty good, and this all while Jack has been not so good.
