because it's a team game.... corsi is okay if you want to analyze individuals, but even then it is wrong 50% of the time... as proven by the E Kane vs Crosby ratings.

No no, I'm not even talking about stats. I mean based on the players they have on D.

What the Hell is up with that Putrid Avatar Colin, Id go back to NoName for awile with that thing...

Made a bet and lost it to an Oilers fan ....I was considering staying logged into my Leafs blogger account after posting this morning, but then thats not being a sport

I've only seen a pic, and I was joking of course

Kidding as well. If I had a young kid with me, he would have to wear a mask however. Don't want to scare the kid.

1) good goaltending
B) that will not last

you cannot mask that D for 82 games.
- Gary_B.

I can't picture them doing it either. Hell I'm surprised they've even been able to do it for 9 games.

Would be fun if they did continue to play like this though lol.

it would never happen.. i avoid mirrors in my own house ffs

garnie mentioned making the playoffs and i think they can certainly do that. but i don't see them playing at a first-place pace for more than a month or two.

- daeth

yes, thats what i mean....
the avs have no name guys getting it down, because they buy into the team game/system... guuys that work well with each other.. and they will continue to succeed until either a) they stop playing the system and play more individualized or b) teams figure out thier system and how to take them out of it....

the crosby Kane reference is just to point out how flawed corsi is....

i wonder how corsi rated the 1-2-2 devils of the early 2000's....

yes that's exactly what i'm doing. well done.

gawd, I just pictured Dozzer peeling

Well good on you for Maning up to the bet.

Ive been meaning to stop by the Oil thread and ask if there has been any progress with Bryz or Raycroft....

I had Colorado pegged as a bottom 5 team this year myself.

I think the Hasek era Sabres are probably the biggest anti-corsi argument out there, at least that I can think of.

in fairness i hate the Leafs and think they suck too.
haha just kidding.
but not really.

- Woderwick

you are correct.... Bix made a mistake and used corsi to figure out that a negative comment in the leafs thread was made against the leafs...
that rate of incorrectness??? is unsustainable!!

wonder what those mid/late-90s Devils teams looked like.

I don't care.

I think they can keep it up as well. The Avs look very good. Great young core and good tending.. they are going to e hard to beat.

Tired of the trollers, coming in and taking shots to get us going. You can say just about anything to someone, if you say at the end,

just kidding man. No hard feelings.

lol, yeah Im sure that will go over smoothly. I was suggesting the Leafs go after Smid in my thread, and look to move Gardiner and or Reimer....dont think anyone cared to comment lol
