The Gardner is 50 up on Baba O Reilly on the + - chart
- Bonerfide69


Plus minus is meaningless though because, uh, sometimes people can get get a plus or a minus undeservedly.

So when you see a humongous difference you can't consider it at all.

You need a real stat, like Corsi for example, which has no team component (just ignore the Corsi rankings) and doesn't rank players in ridiculous order compared to what everyone who has ever watched a game, knows is their value to their team (just ignore the Corsi rankings).

Not much better way to describe it.

I don't know how even a rookie team comes out with that game in this situation.

- Aetherial

it's nearly entirely the vets that have been on the ice for the goals against with zaitsev being an obvious exception

Zatsev has really hit a wall the last month. The scary part is Rielly has been even worse.

Rielly

He just looks flat out lost a lot of the time. It really is scary.

I think we're a long shot but I haven't given up hope yet.



I have for this game though

- Garnie

I don't see how they're a long shot. There seems to be four teams in the pack that are hovering around the playoff line. Boston, NYI, Tampa and Toronto. They have as good a shot as the other three.

I think the Queefs thought they were walking in on the pre-Ekblad Panthers and ran into the 15/16 Panthers instead.

I agree, just don't think it's going to happen this year.

Just my thought...not trying to be a downer or anything.

Leafs have nothing going the other way cause they've been so abysmal defensively.

Gross.

Remember when Roy used to pull the goalie with 10 mins left all the time coaching Colorado?

You know how some guys complain that Leafs tix are too high, and how they could fly to Florida and but tickets for cheaper than going to a game in Toronto?

Well, tonight MLSEL just said "frank you" to those guys.

You might be right when all is said and done. Can only focus on the next game now. They need to beat Tampa, preferably in reg.

I'd put both goalies in and only play 4 forwards
