I didn't read anything because I'm lazy as (frank). What's up with Franson? Is he in a coma?

He was skating will full face protection. He should be a-go for saturday.

Burn, BL and AW - this is for you...

Collision Corsi
This year's test case for advanced stats in the NHL? It's the old-school Toronto Maple Leafs, so … great. We're sure everyone will be super chill about this.

That was actually a very good read, if you can get by the obvious bias.

It's just Bi-polar Nation, sometimes people just love to hate a guy.

He does look dizzy out there often, I wonder if he's getting enough iron?

What bias? Serious question.

Anything broken? Fairly large gash I'm assuming from the puddle beneath his face.

Yea, quite a few stitches but he's a tough Ombre.

I'd say its pretty clear hes on the stats side of the argument, and it comes out in his writing. I honestly liked the read though.

I'm on the bandwagon. (frank) it. Best goalie the Leafs have had since Cujo...maybe even better than Fuhr. Which is tough, because Fuhr is the greatest blow induced player of the 80's and my little tween wang exploded when he was traded to the Leafs.

I wanted to reserve judgement, but between fighting like the cat and how calm he is in net, I can't help it. I am excited to have him as our goalie.

I know, right? I'm on board too... I believe he'll be our clear cut #1 for years to come...

So Dubie is better than Bernier?

Yup. To hell with it. Loved that fight. That's what I was saying before. That Province sure as hell makes some good goalies.

Read it again. He is using a facetious-style prose. He may know how the stats work but that doesn't mean he is an advocate.

I can see what you're saying now, I guess it should have been obvious with the "There's one problem: Advanced stats say that shot quality doesn't exist" section.

If there's one thing that I find actually unfunny (which in itself is funny coming from me) is all this corsi poop or whatever the (frank) the Senators blogger went on about.

I don't think Yost has touched the Corsi and doomed Leafs season in a while...

I just imagined him bent over a crystalball-like object and chanting some weird anti-leafs incantations.

He was the one who started going balls to the wall about it though.

I can just see the prewritten blog he had in the can ready to go half way through the Leafs / Sens game last week...

D'oh!!!

Has any one seen the power rankings this year on nhl.com?
Obvious leaf hater is obvious

if i was playing net, Corsi would be right every time, then again if i was shooting the puck it would be wrong everytime.

see what i'm saying? huh huh
