Alex Edler!!

You're sticking with it, that's my girl.

I’m trying to ignore the noise.

[Hockey Widow]

Hope Gaudette is ok. Skate to the face. Yikes

[Strangelove]

Cmon Lipstick, close only counts in hand grenades...

[CrzyCanuck]

that was in


that's why Leipsic is different from Boeser

Boeser can put the puck in

[Hockey Widow]

Boeser than all the rest.

What, no assist by Eli.

[Strangelove]

Bo did all the work and Bess made no mistake.

[Carl Yagro]

troy oh troy oh troy.....

that was real bad

Yup, he is just too small and too weak. It would be okay if he can put up points...

But, but, but... the local media and analytics guys say Troy is currently our BEST defenceman, ahead of even Tanev and Edler

And they also now think very highly of Gudbranson... by putting him on a level with Biega and ahead of MDZ, but behind Pouliot

BROCK!!!

[Hockey Widow]

Gaud is back. Yeah.

[Strangelove]

Gaud is back. Yeah.

Good news.

I think just like Topper has repeatedly pointed out, that's the flaw of the advanced stats.

I remember reading the article where they were praising Stecher for his high zone-entry rate. But the numbers do not show what happens after Stecher carries the puck over.

[Hockey Widow]

Fuck me. Where is the support for Hutton.

[CrzyCanuck]

Hutton, Hutton, Hutton...

[Jovocop]

I just hate Goldobin. He just floated around not taking anyone.

[CrzyCanuck]

I just hate Goldobin. He just floated around not taking anyone.

it was a collective disaster that started off with Hutton

Exactly. Advanced stats. Pfft... it ain't all it's cracked up to be.

They also keep pointing out how Goldobin is best on the team at making linemates better because his numbers are tops in that particular area. But most of us can plainly see that his frequent partner, EP is truly elite at making others better.

If Goldy doesn't have the puck in the neutral or offensive zone to dangle with, he in facts makes his team worse. Who is going to forecheck, backcheck, win board battles, play defence, get the puck out with clean zone exits, etc.? Not Goldy, that's for sure.
