Yeah my sources said the same thing also.

Will the Habs make a trade? One source says maybe.

The puck needs to go in the other teams net more when you're on the ice than in your own net.

The end.

no that stat is team-based and meaningless.

Only the fancy stats are the true stats. They are never team based and never suffer from measurement bias or errors.

Oh, and they can be expressed to 100th's of a percent accuracy because apparently none of the advanced stat proponents understand significant digits or margins of error.

... and they also indicate, with 100 % certainty, whatever you wish them to indicate and they are the ONLY indicators possible.

So if 2 players have the same shot attempt against per 60 rate but one of them blocks more shots and has more takeaways which one is better defensively?

More to hockey than this....1 guy gives up shots from the outside and 1 guy is not there for the shot because he's out of position and it's a 2 on 1.

I'd take EK over any of our Leaf D if that makes you feel better

unfortunately a lot of people here don't understand that

Like the guy posting pictures of Kevin Porter hoisting the 2016 cup...even though he hasnt played in a playoff game since 2010....ya that makes sense, obviously you have zero.

That's impressive considering the competition here

I am giving the award to the fat (frank) beside me, who actually manages to accomplish less than I do, despite me being here too much every day.

Craig Adams won 2 Stanley Cups while averaging less than 4 goals per season as a forward.

We probably shouldn't use Cup wins to measure individual talent.
- BINGO!

That's when you use common sense...a guy playing 30 min/game vs someone who didnt dress or played 5 mins/game.

Who said it was to measure indivual talent ?

That's probably something he should ask his biological mother about..

Im officially convinced that these "sources" literally just troll Eklund.. Theres no other explanation for his Ludacris "rumours" hes almost never right... They have to be just toying with him. Or he really is just that bored and senile that he comes up with this stuff while drinking his morning coffee... with extra bourbon... the whole bottle perhaps.

Not at all, there are other things to take in consideration, like the team system for example.
