+/- is only an even strength stat.
- The Law

So anyone who says one players +/- is worse than another players is due to one of them killing penalties is talking BS.

Good to know because I feel like I have read that in defense of a player here a time or 2.

I guess comparing +/_ of 2 players if both players are on the same team and have roughly the same amount of TOI at even strength holds value but as soon as you get 2 players on 2 different teams it starts to be less valuable unless both teams are fairly even as far as talent, skill etc.

Whatever happened to the old timey stats like Corsi and Fenwick.

Go take a peek on Ticketmaster at the KC vs. Dolphins game.

Meteorologists are saying it may be the coldest game in NFL history.

Tickets are dirt cheap right now, and there's a million of them.

The Buffalo game also has tickets for cheap - but sounds like it's going to be a logistical nightmare to get there due to a blizzard the day before. I think I'd rather watch it from home (or on my phone, as my daughter has a hockey game. Sigh).

The bad blocker save was weird, and he sorta did it again later in the game.

WTF?

Personally (and a bit as a goalie) I think Jones is tired.

He denied it (very quickly, almost too quickly) in the post game media scrum but that type of thing is common when a goalie is tired. The old "just off on making the fairly routine save" or "giving up juicy rebounds on a shot that shouldn't produce one".

I know this because I do it in the vast majority of my own games - because I'm an out of shape beer league target who is tired from working all day and then playing a 10pm beer league game. lol

In all seriousness Jones needs a bit of a rest and I hope he gets it soon regardless of how it occurs (Sammy or The Beast).

Are you sure?
How did he end up with a +1 and willie -1if that were the case?

2 PP goals. 🤣
Matthews bailed him out on the +/- with 2 beauty goals

Sorry ...you're right. The bonus provisions for those hardworking PK'ers.


Also ....is Gio done? He looked a little rough last night.

Unrelated to his rough night, he does need a night off every once in a while. They’ve got Lagesson to sub in.
