That guy is full of himself... he thinks that because he's a lawyer his opinion is some how superior to everyone else's...
- SofaKingBored

What an bumhole!

Same way they know less about Gardiner than you do, right?
- Feeling Glucky?

You going here again?

They just signed him pretty obvious he's going no where. Carlyle loves the kid. Nonis too.
- honesthockey

And you have a bigger hard on for him than either of them, was it his hair flick that got you?

Hey Bruce, would you actually like to see Jake traded?

Rielly is staying, that's fact, so do we move Jake? And for what?
- Byfuglien Ate Me

yup.. trade him.. if carlyle is only going to play him on the 3rd pairing might as well move him now before his value drops off into nothingness.

a stay at home top 4 D is what I would like to see as a return

Kadri is winning draws just as well as Bozak. Why not use a player that actually has some offensive tools?
- markmark

Ask Carlyle

You going here again?
- honesthockey

Just loving the hypocrisy is all.

They just signed him pretty obvious he's going no where. Carlyle loves the kid. Nonis too. It's only you bozos.
- honesthockey

They signed him to make sure they got his pillow buddy locked up long term...Bozak will be gone if they can find a someone foolish enough to take him next summer ..

probably Another player to be dumped in the AHL...

Team Corsi this year.
Number 2 - New Jersey (currently 27th in the NHL)
Number 5 - Ottawa (currently 21st in the NHL)
Number 7 - Montreal (Currently 17th in the NHL)
Number 9 - NYR (Currently 28th in the NHL)

or how about opposite
Number 18 - Pitts (currently 3rd in the NHL)
Number 19 - Colorado (currently 2nd in the NHL)
Number 22 - Anaheim (currently 4th in the NHL)
Number 30 - Toronto (currently 6th in the NHL)

great stats guys

Yes, it is quite flawed. Doesn't take into account goaltending ability or shooting skill/quality of shots.

It's a rough estimate of how good a teams possession game is. Nothing more really.

HH

without the name calling please and thank you.

Just loving the hypocrisy is all.
- Feeling Glucky?

How is it hypocritical? And yet the point total isn't?

are those numbers named after ex NHL sieve goalie Jim Corsi?
- Popcorn Kid

He invented it, yes.

He's goalie coach in buffalo right now

You going here again?
- honesthockey

Why wouldn't he? You keep going the "you know more than the coach" route yourself.

So he should catch that offensive star Gardiner in game 1.
- honesthockey

He didn't play too bad after the 1st last night

You keep sticking up for Bozak, but he's starting to look lost

Not that it matters - I think Bozak/Bolland/Kadri/McClement can get the job done and there really is no #1 just cycle them when needed

You're thinking about it the wrong way. These little miscues don't matter in the grand scheme of things. Corsi correlates literally perfectly with puck possession. Teams that possess the puck more tend to take more shot attempts than their opponents. It's that simple. Corsi = shot attempts. Don't overthink it.
- panek

That's too basic to draw legitimate conclusions IMO. Advanced stats lost it for me when they justified their short comings with the word luck.

pretty sure NHL Gms sign a guy for 4.25 just to make sure his buddy stays

are those numbers named after ex NHL sieve goalie Jim Corsi?

Yes.

yup.. trade him.. if carlyle is only going to play him on the 3rd pairing might as well move him now before his value drops off into nothingness.

- Dozzer

Agree, but that top 4D man is going to have a Cap hit we cant take, So Liles needs to be part of the deal, or shot.

- Garnie

Question, if you could choose between Bozak or Towes, who would you choose?

- Byfuglien Ate Me

why is that? go tit for tat.. trade for another young stay at home D with a comparable cap hit

He invented it, yes.

- burn

Its like he tried to come up with a combination of stats that would show that Sid was not the best player in the league.

- honesthockey

Well then I really question Nonis's level of hockey intelligence on Bozak.

Question, if you could choose between Bozak or Towes, who would you choose?

Toews 8 million times over

- daeth

know what else is flawed? judging something after 10 games that is devised specifically to be judged after only a complete season. but have at it.
