Ya again at the top where usage and GAR are both in that top percentile, that is the most elite players
- neem55

i honestly dont even pay attention to GAR. I think its sort of silly and truly doesn't paint a true picture. Usage just helps depict GAR better as it allows people to understand how often they are used relative to how often they product or don't produce. Add quality of competition as a 3rd column and things start to get a bit clearer.

So it’s a pile of crap/ thanks for interpreting it

its not really something that I really care for to be honest. GAR in hockey seems silly if that is the only thing you are looking at.

However, my point was, is that people shouldnt look at a chart, see the ascending or descending order of a list and use that to interpret who is better/worse lol.

Its not hard to take an extra second and decipher the context of the chart instead of screaming "analytics and charts blow cause Derek Ryan is higher than Bo" lol

That is not how this data chart should be interpreted here, usage is also key to understanding GAR. The takeaway is Ryan is a great GAR player in a bottom 6 role. That doesn’t infer in a top6 role he would have the same GAR. Therefore comparison to players with way more usage is irrelevant.

Isn't that what Steve the Pirate from "Dodgeball" said?

Sorta like your subjective 'alpha' and 'beta' categorisations?

like i said before, i don't like GAR either, but I also don't blindly hate it without fully understanding the data presented either lol

Nucker hated only what he didnt understand

who needs context when it's easier to just blame the media/source?

opinions > thinking

Absolutely nothing alike. Alpha beta is the eye test which trumps analytics

Fuck it's going to be a long 5 weeks.

if it was slotted into an excel document or a pie chart, I want nothing to do with it

I only consume news and analysis through Tik Tok. It's the only way to avoid the media driven narratives.

Tik tok is completely unreliable. If it isn't Facebook, it's fakenews my friend.

I get my news from reliable sources like Parler, Rebel News, Fox News and Al Jazeera... oh, and from my MAD magazine subscription... because I like Spy vs Spy.

Thanks Carol



Sure feels like the matrix now a days..

If it ain't on Parler, I don't wanna parlez avec vous.

Hello guys
Couple months ago i asked some people who live on the island some question about minor hockey(just moved on the island in july). Now i want to know where is the best store to buy hockey equipement for kid.
- Yannick72

Hey Yannik, the “Best” store is Kirby’s on Cloverdale near Mayfair Mall. They have the best, most knowledgeable staff, the best selection of Hockey, Baseball and Lacrosse gear and fair prices. BUT, you might want to get on the Facebook Marketplace, VarageSale or UsedVictoria to get a better price, depending on your child’s age and level of play (and you’re budget). I always bought my son new helmet and new skates when he needed but used pads as kids not to be as hard on their gear as adults.

We used to have a great store downtown that had new and used gear but they went out of business a few years ago.

If it ain't on Parler, I don't wanna parlez avec vous.
