You can throw analytics and corsi out the window at playoff time. It’s heart and balls that matter at this time of year. The teams that have this usually win. When talent doesn’t work hard or battle you have zero chance of winning.

Ed Willis headline Canucks miles away competing

Ben Kuzma thinks the Canucks aren't tough enough.

Haven't seen much sun out there lately? Sounding pretty depressing considering they did better then what those guys expected.

Weird that Fleury thinks that analytics are like a bag of coke when the cops are behind you.

Benning with four queens:

“I fold”

Benning with a 2 and a 7:

“Like, all in, and stuff”

There is soooo much truth in what Theo says, sadly quite a few here will not agree.

It’s just words. They don’t actually mean anything.

Fancy stats would show that Columbus dominated Tampa.

Conversely,

Anyone judging Tampa’s regular season purely on the eyeball test would have been just as surprised at the outcome.

But if Theo wants to see which team has the biggest heart and balls then he can deal with the jail time.

Cooper should have folded to save the embarrassment, Canucks future looks bright with Benning at the helm.





I say with a blank poker face...

The Canucks’ future does look bright.



And they are doing everything wrong.

(That should cover all the bases)

I’ll bite....I don’t need any fancy stats to see that Columbus dominated the Lightning, none what so ever, and quite frankly I am not a fan, they have a place in the evaluation of certain aspects WHEN used in conjunction with watching real time and with video.

When Columbus was preparing for their playoff match I bet dollars to donuts that they analyzed videos to determine style and player trends, not an excel spreadsheet with just fancy stats.

I would bet that they used both.

For the record, I’m not a stats guy. My mathematic abilities are limited to calculating sulfur adds. Most advanced stats go right over my head. But just because I don’t fully understand them doesn’t mean I discount them.

Any team should be using every tool at their disposal. Advanced stats, video review, voodoo, heart and balls, all of it.
