I like some of his points
Oilers closing in at Top 10 in the league PP...currently 16th...7.1% behind Top 10 team.

Holtby has a better Sv% and GAA than Talbot but give the nod to Talbot bc he got a weekly star

I think I love this guys homerism

- DDM-Coga


If anything, this guy is displaying homerism in favor of the Caps... Larsson clearly tips each of those categories in the Oilers favor.

I think there's some hidden ISIS marketing literature located within it.

In all honesty, he's no McDavid or Larsson, but he's damn damn good.

They are almost even in Fenwick and positive in Scoring Chances. If they keep that up then the possession stats are showing Russell is performing better as an Oiler than he did as a Flame and Star player.

There are flaws in every stat and in every mode of analysis. He has a PDO of 108.8, if that drops to a normal 100 we arent talking about how great Russell has been.

- Matt_Henderson

The scoring chance battle is the big tell for me. I started looking into it more in Eakins' last season to try to explore the whole "coaching for corsi" thing after it was brought to my attention by a poster on Lowetide's blog. Only this past year or so have I actively explored Fenwick and HDSC differentials as a method of evaluation and so far, it seems like a better predictive model. Combine it with PDO and score-affected Corsi and I think there's you start to approach as refined of a predictive model as you can get.

Have you explored the world of xGF/xGA yet?

Is this a joke ?

Maybe he means just who's been better in 6 games this year ?

We get the edge in forwards over the caps?!
Talbot over the vezina winner ?
Overall our team is better than the presidents trophy winners that ran roughshod last season ?

wtf?
Excitement is one thing, rationality is something else

Still early but I was a big doubter in your squad this year. Saw more of the same this year but so far, you guys are managing to win games. Would be nice to see you guys continue it, despite the inevitable James Tanner blogs.
