Whoa. I wasn't expecting an HBDQ over 58. Crazy!

Islanders first…and Montreal doesn’t even make the top ten. Weird.
I wonder what the Habs score was? I mean of the entire nhl there has been more turmoil and discussions around changes in Montreal and Vancouver far more than anywhere else. But I guess they just aren’t desperate enough.
Are you ever going to release the calculations so we can actually see it?

How do you leave out the fact that half their lineup has been out on covid protocol and or injured? They just postponed their games. Embarrassing

It should be clear to all that Ek doesn’t get embarrassed. I mean if he did he would have stopped his nonsensical posts over a decade ago…but no he keeps going.

The islanders are desperate for the league to stop calling cross checking

It’s bad enough Kevin Allen typed out the same horse crap and then Ek comes in and doubles down. It’s honestly embarrassing.

Isn't too simplistic to say NYI is old. Guys like Chara, Greene, Parise, Martin, Clutterbuck increase the team average...but none of these guys play key minutes. Their key players are all in their prime. Maybe they could sign a toddler for the press box and bring down the average.

The blog is about “leading indicators in whether or not a team will be looking to make a BIG move over the next few months”.

Then #4 Toronto is about how they’ll be judged in the playoffs….so not real desperate during the regular season (which they are playing very good).

Good point. I would lower the HBDQ score by 1:72 to reflect that. But still makes the Leafs pretty desperate.

You're still upset because you lost in 6. Marchand was the only one who showed up every game. It's ok you'll be fine.

What are Montreal sources saying this morning? Mellanby just quit. Gorton coming in. Bergevin probably finished. Or is the talk still about adding Tarasenko for a Cup run? That was E4 a few weeks ago.

What formula did you use to come up with those kind of numbers?
