It's amazing how much you hate him. This is a perfect example of both where and why the eye test fails.

It's amazing how much you love him. This is a perfect example of where and why anylitics fail.

Anylitics gave the pens no chance of beating the caps, and the caps dominated position in every single period of the entire series except for one. When I do my eye test in the conference finals will I see the caps?

Fleury played out of his mind, and way better than he ever had before. One thing the numbers can't account for is sheer dumb luck. Washington should have won in 4, buyback Fleury went HAM. The eye test people, like the analytics community, wouldn't have thought Fleury could win a series by himself. The Capitals also visibly dominated that series, so I don't get what you're point is other than making me question your ability to eye test at all.
Bad example, Ross77.

Ya you are right, even though the Caps have been anylitic darlings for ten years the reason they can never get past the 2nd round has been ten years of a hotter goalie and bad luck. I am really tired of bad luck being the excuse every time anylitics doesn't work. It's one tool!! Not the end all, if it's all you go by you are in trouble, Ask Florida.
