And another thing how in the world is Barberio a +11 on the season so far, he doesn't get a lot of minutes and he is still a defensive liability in his own zone. He shows flashes of being a good offensive d-man but I cannot figure out how he is +11 on the year.

Funny thing is that his possession numbers are really quite good, too. He sits fifth on the team in Corsi-for % and sixth on the team in Corsi-for % Rel. He's riding an unsustainably high PDO rating, but still...

I have never been a huge stats guy, I follow the basics g/a/p/+-/fo%/toi at most. I tend to determine how a player is doing just by watching them, who knows maybe these numbers you speak of will give me more things to think about when I am watching the game, but that is probably a bad thing for me...

Anyway where can I find these stats online that you are referring to so I can look at them. Thanks.

Those are two good ones.

Here's a glossary that includes some of the stat titles.

Now I'm heading back to bed. G'night!

If Yzerman sends Aulie thru the waivers then I agree he is trying to put the best roster on the ice, it is clear that Cote is a better fit the Aulie based on what I have seen so far this year.

But I don't see him doing that, he will send Cote back down - maybe its not to hide that Aulie was a bust like I said in my earlier post. Maybe its because Aulie is on a one way and would have to clear waivers and probably would get picked up where as Cote can go up and down as needed. In this way I agree with you then he is doing the right thing to ice the best roster as it leaves more Dman depth having Aulie on the pine and Cote as a call up.

EDIT: Lastly Aulie imo will not be resigned at the end of the year even if he stays with the big club.

Disagree. It shows that Yzerman's serious about icing the best roster. It's not as though Ashton is lighting the world on fire in the NHL.

Yeah... do you want him back? We don't even need to take Aulie back. Just take him, free up another roster spot for us please?




Please...???

I'm planning on attending the February 8th game vs Detroit.

Any suggestions on things to do around the area prior to the game?

Jimmy Howard going to the Olympics is a joke. I haven't seen Bishop enough to say that he should be going, but Howard is awful.

Maybe you should re-think your username then

In all honesty though, I agree with you. Bishop seems to really be doing well now that he has a chance to be a starter. As a fan of a team in the same division, I just wish he'd start letting some more in

yeah you can try out Hattricks. its only a couple blocks from the forum. It's a Lightning crazy sports bar. Voted best wings in all of Tampa.

DROUIN JUST SCORED!

And just got called for a BS hit to the head. The Finnish guy ducked and Drouin literally tapped the guy's head with his hands. Quite ridiculous if you ask me.

If you want some putang - Mons Venus if its partying - Ybor City if it's Hockey Bars - Hattricks of course golf or beach during the day. If you have your family scratch all these and see Artys response.

So when is Vasilevski coming to North America again?
