Do you think Quesnel is unique? all of North America is populated by idiots. We need a culling, if your IQ isn't 100+ you should be headed to the human chipped, Soylent Green here we come.

and get crushed by old school Columbus

Columbus isn't too bad themselves, for those who care....

13 of the playoff teams were also in the top half of league for possession.

Possession has been an important part of Hockey for many decades.

Detroit was the master of it in the 90’s

Have the Canes passed Nashville/Clagary as the best D? Slavin/Hamilton is just deadly

Absolutely, It's nice that it can now be quantified.

Learnt it from the red army.

Dallas with the lead is like the Devils of old. I should get a good nap out of this.

How is it being quantified Now, as opposed to a few decades ago?

Not a lot of teams had analytics departments in the 90’s

IMO flames never had close to the best D ..
Give it a few years to see the kids develop and how Gio declines ...preds have the top 4 horses to claim that.

Slavin is finally starting to get a lot of praise league wide ...he’s a good player

You'd be hard lucked to find someone that spends more time in the bush than me. Body is fine... except for the driver side plastic running board that got ripped up by a stump at a remote lake I fish. Wouldnt of happened with metal tubs.

I have a heavy duty aluminum bush guard on the front. Hit a deer a year ago doing about 110km. No body damage. Bush guard took it all... cracked etc but saved my body.

Can always find a dodge guy or ford guy or Chev guy etc who stands by their favourite.
I sell them so my opinion can be biased ...but the amount of companies ditching ford now to get a Ram 3500 is crazy ...glad you have had a good run ..,others have not been so lucky and their hard earned dollars are now being spent on Cummins company vehicles 😉

Making fun of Scheuermann's Disease? That’s pathetic, although it doesn’t surprise me reading your average post.

Handles my camper off road just fine... I even drive endless over big river rocks on the Skeena, through deep creek crossings and up really steep washed out river banks with camper on... dragging a jet boat behind on a trailer... no problems with the body.

You should video this ... Ford would pay for good footage like this

Montreal and Boston from the 70's were pretty big on puck control, or as the analytic crowd says, possession, so not to sure it came from the Red army
or if Scotty Bowman brought that trait with him to Detroit, from Montreal.
Bowman has been a master of his teams having puck control.

Teams tracked time of possession for many years, well before the analytics community came along.

Dallas is a solid team , very impressed

I feel like this is a narratively loaded question and I imagine people would answer it differently but......

More stats are recorded now and it's been happening for a long enough time to be able more accurately identify trends.

pen and paper never counted? or did it only start when someone put it on a spreadsheet

Not sure analytics people know what those items are.

Aside from the fact there are clearly Nucks fans in here who're interested in the thought, sure.

Have a good night, ya sour turd!

I don't think anyone is actually interested in acquiring Lucic, I myself was merely trying to see how angry and dark Marwood could get.

I think some here are willing to role the dice if enough of an incentive is offered, moving up in the 1st round plus picks/prospects and salary retained.

Eriksson has played better than Lucic, has more intangibles, is singed for one year less.

Roope Hintz has impressed me, all playoffs. Fantastic hockey player
