I get the feeling we are going to end up giving away Holland for nothing.

Nice guy, blah blah blah, but let's be honest: he's not in our future plans.

Give him away - the extra space on the 50 contract limit will be the reward.

it was a high price to to acquire him. 2nd rnd to Anaheim.

If a GM is interested in Holland.

It's because he's thinking about going to the actual country and got all confused.

This has all the makings of "Go shopping for Kurt Sauer, return home with Jeff Finger..."

I remember Gainey hiring Samsonov, coming in front of the media and tell people with straight face:

"We had a plan A, B, C.... this is plan D".

Sounds great Bob!

Are there any sites/resources out there to watch games in their entirety after they've been played?

I know Leafs TV does, sorry if that's obvious and you are looking for something else.

So apparently advanced stats have now proved that delivering bodychecks actually hurts your team...

This explains why Subban stopped hitting other players since 2013!

Edit: This can also only increase JVR's value no?

I was lol. Thank you though.


I just watched the game in 6 for Saturday. On Matthews' goal, Wilson lays in the crease for a solid 5-10 seconds doing absolutely nothing. It's hilarious and makes me feel warm inside because Wilson is a d-bag plug.

Of course they have - analytics is essentially an attempt to extract meaningful conclusions from all available data in order to gain a competitive advantage. I can't believe that it took this long.

Im not positive but I think if you have a apple TV box you can watch at least some of the action (not sure if the whole game or not).

Dug around some and found something. I'll pm it to you because it's probably against some sort of rule.

Apparently you can torrent them too. Which makes sense, it's just not something I've ever searched for/thought of for torrents.

Unfortunately, sooner or later the advanced stats guys are going to invent the JVR Quantification - an advanced analytic that examines how many times he is successful when doing that stupid twirly move with the puck between his legs by the side of the net.

And as JVR will have the lowest JVR Quantification reading in the history of the JVR Quantification stat, we won't be able to trade him to Florida or Arizona.

He'll likely go to a club who have a surplus d-man... perhaps one with a larger contract.
