Ok...




Again...
puck possession numbers (Corsi) are overrated!

Some use that as a measure of how good a player is/isn’t
It’s extremely flawed imo

- jdfitz77



So why Is Ristolainen good? If the regular numbers aren't good, and the possession numbers aren't good. What about him is good?

Someone tell me true. Are the Sabres tanking again this year? Another Botts stealth tank?
- PrinceChill


Smells that way.

I mentioned before, if jbotts is enamored with 8 or 9 guys with 2 shots at them........

My guess is he'll get traded to a team for a pick, probably a 4th or 5th.

My comment was regarding Ristolainen, hits and what they mean in terms of having the puck.

Which is charted by possession stats like Corsi

Wasn’t arguing with your overall premise

But corsi is only one of the stats, and you have said or shown anything that suggests its overrated.

Maybe we should start scratching Okposo and Scandella and see what they do

@TravisYost

Corsi% leaders and playoff disposition:

1. In playoff spot
2. Out of playoff spot
3. In playoff spot
4. In playoff spot
5. In playoff spot
6. In playoff spot
7. In playoff spot
8. In playoff spot
9. In playoff spot
10. In playoff spot
11. In playoff spot
12. In playoff spot


Gonna admit you’re wrong yet Fitz?

For a TEAM, over the course of a SEASON...
sure

When used to say bullish!t like the ice tilts in our direction when player x is out there in whatever particular game...
it’s WAY TOO SMALL a sample size

A guy’s line could have a 55% Corsi tonight
And according to that stat,
his line “dominated”
Right?

In reality...
his line outshot the other line something like 9 to 7

1) 2 extra shots isn’t game changing
2) how many of those shots came from the outside, or the point, etc when there was no real danger of them producing a goal?
WE DONT KNOW
Bc “Corsi” doesn’t tell us that
3) how about when player x does his job perfectly, but someone else out there with him screws up & a shot gets on net
Then his Corsi number is punished, even when he did his job?
It’s basically just +\- in larger format

So once again...
Corsi is overrated

*and again, when i say that, i mean in respect to a particular guy’s play on ice-
Not as a broad stat that shows TEAM play

Yep

Useful when talking about how good a TEAM is overall

Extremely flawed when used to define INDIVIDUAL performance

Well, at least we know Beaulieu has a set of brass balls on him for requesting a trade.
His talent is clearly being wasted here, Nathan Beaulieu, JFC.

A little tired of the perpetual “wait till next year”. Other teams seem to manage to make the playoffs AND stock picks/prospects. Must be nice.

It’s alarming how little you understand of this while being so confident that you do.

Jump on the competition as far as selling a player off.

3rd sounds about right for him unless it’s a for an underachieving forward.
