People also predicted a regression from Calgary (their shooting and save percentages were ridiculously high) this year and Colorodo before them. Even La last year you can look at and see that they had great advanced statistics but got super unluckyand had a terrible record in the shoutout and overtime - MattFreaknEllis
Does this mean the stats are reliable or not?

That's kinda the point, isnt it. Who wants to have to do a homework assignment to watch a hockey game. - Der Kaiser
That's fair for fans, but there are those who collect and make them available to the public. Either way you really have to enjoy that part of the game.
I don't expect fans to be so up on it, where it bothers me is when the teams ignore it.

Sure, analytics are and always will be a work in progress. And they aren't meant to guarantee future results. They are another tool in the toolbox.

Here's my problem with advanced stats in hockey. The number of presumptions piled on top of presumptions without any real checks to ensure reliability lead to completely unreliable data.
We presume that if we get alot of shots, a good number of them will go in. But there's no check to measure whether its a quality shot or just an easy wrister into the goalie's glove.
We presume that if a good number of the shots go in, we will win the game, but there's not check to measure whether the d is any good or not.
We believe that if we limit the number of shots taken against us, then fewer will go in, and we will win.
But - as this article points out - we have great shots for (but no "finish"), and good shots against, but we have a LOOSING RECORD. There's so much more to the game of hocket thnan just shooting, and maybe its all that other stuff - now rather derogatorily described as "the eyeball test" - that dictates as much or more whether a team will actually win. - Der Kaiser

Not true at all.
If he doesn't like I am sure many feel that he won't, well then Murray lost a deal.
I understand he won't win them all nor do I expect him to.
I just want him to slow down, breath in and out a couple 20 times before he makes deals like that again however.
But hey, that's just me. - BuffaloHardHat
Great, reasonable response to my snide post. I fixed the only thing I'd change. Nicely said. |

HBSL.....
With Price hurt, do you take a chance on Condon and free up six million in salary to be used elsewhere?
Or go with Crawford who plays four games this week, none of which are back to back? |

Buffalo. No one I. That town can afford a 20 spot. He's probably sniffing flour just so that he feels cool. Buffalo is a crappy town *sarcasim* |

Every one has their crutches in life.
Some are made of powder.
Some are made of smoke.
Some are made of liquid.
But make no mistake....we all have them.
We are such a flawed race and existence. |

Odell Beckham is good - Fattony1187
Still pissed me off we traded up to go get Watkins when that WR draft was so good. I like Watkins but wasn't the smartest of moves. |

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports the Browns have "engaged in discussions" regarding potential trades of LT Joe Thomas and C Alex Mack.
Mack would be sensible to trade because he's expected to opt out of his contract following this season. Thomas is under the Browns' control through 2018, albeit at base salaries all in excess of $8 million. Thomas turns 31 in December and is still playing at a very high level. The Browns' willingness to trade two of their best players indicates they're considering yet another rebuild.
Joe Thomas is a player the Bills can use on the O line because ours sucks. |

That's the worst part of the trade. There were 8 legit WRs off the top of my head I can think of in that draft. You don't trade up when you could of just sat there and drafted a comparable or better WR. You do that when their is a unique talent at a position when the rest of that draft position sucks. Stings even more when joe bascalia was saying morning of draft that ODB was gonna be our pick if there wasn't any trades.
