WAR? Really? This isn’t baseball

It is just another tool in the arsenal that in context can show a players worth.

There isn't a WCF, it is a semi final based on regular season points, iirc.

Also, Go Bruins. Be nice to see one of the greatest of his generation, Bergeron, get another cup.

Is that you on the Tim Horton's ad?

Fair enough
Ive seen how it’s calculated and it seems to be pretty flawed

Out of all the lists there, it honestly looks really 50/50 to me on who should and shouldn't be on the lists.

I don't know how they actually calculate it.

Canucks defence in a nut shell.

Myers makes most of the you suck lists.
- manvanfan

That is funny. The Canucks have 3 of the worst defensemen in the league in Hughes, Schmidt and Myers.
What is also funny is according to those stats, Chris Tanev and Adam Larsson are the 2 best defensemen in the league.

The Canucks get rid of the best defenseman(Tanev), in the league for a guy who costs 1.5 million more and a 3rd round pick. Amazing.

Yet the slurpers will quickly be here to defend the shiny guy.

Yeah, so about that Schmidt thing, are you going to provide a link? Thanks in advance.

No links needed. It's Nucker.

As I said I don't know how it is actually calculated but if it's comparing Tanev vs the other RHD on that team. It's not even close as to why Tanev is #1 compared to Andersson and Michael Stone.

Easy now, we aren't as smart as NHL GM's and aren't allowed to criticize them.

lol Jason Kenney approves this message.

I want all divisional rivals to fail
- Nucker101

Seems petty and small minded. Plus the three remaining teams in our division won’t be next year.

I hope the Leafs win the cup so they can finally say they’ve been through four rounds.

FFS I was looking at possible waiver wire pick ups to start next season. I was planning on telling Jim to target Yakov Trenin from Nashville.

Guy just opened the scoring for Nashville today.

I realized my mistake in assuming and took it back after.
- Nucker101

you realized your mistake and took it back after? when was this? because earlier today, you posted this:

I later backed off of that statement by adding that if it was true then yeah he’s a coward quitter that I’d move on from. So far I haven’t seen a report that refutes him skipping out on exit meetings, have you?
- Nucker101

so if you "took it back," that means you must have "seen a report that refutes him skipping out on exit meetings," after posting that earlier today.

can you provide a source as to why you changed your mind? thanks in advance.

Should copy/paste the Nylander convo from the last blog?

6g in his last 7 playoff games. Oh well, doesn’t matter if you’re just here to cheer no matter what.

Habs are playing into the Leafs hands, the Jets would have intimidated Nylander by now

Carcone for Leivo?

I always get a kick out this real fan crap, that some like to spew.
I have been a Canuck fan since they entered the league.my other team is Boston, because #4, who got me interested in hockey when I was very young.
These "real fan" types love the shiny ones, so if you criticize Hughes or Pouty or Schmidt or Hoglander you are not a real fan, they go about criticizing players that I like and I usually just put up a few comments why I like a player like Myers, or whoever.
What I find real funny is when a fan is on their 2nd or 3rd favourite team and says you are not a real fan. Lol
- Reubenkincade

My breakdown of a real fan...

upfront with constructive criticism
Hysteria has no place
If complaining pose a solution also
Using history is unnecessary
Able to change or modify a stance

Lastly it’s not mandatory for opinions unchanged over time.

Probably more but that’s the gist.

hey buddy, sorry to keep bugging you but your opinion here is so clearly valued so i'm trying to get in line with your thinking.

earlier on this page, you said you realized your mistake about schmidt and took it back after? when was this? because earlier today, you posted this:

Perhaps notable as well: the ever-quotable Nate Schmidt didn't appear last night or today.

If the GM who is doing the drafting sucks, it wouldn't really matter if he drafted Nylander because Nylander would be golfing right now if he were on the Canucks.
