Totally meaningless, the stupidest stat.

5 on 5 scoring differential is where it's at.

But what about score effects adjusted expected goals per minute divided by COQ to the power of PI multiplied by goals Reimer/Bernier would have had?

I still can't believe we signed John Tavares.

I love that.

Fancy stats people hate plus/minus do do enjoy goals scored vs given up while on the ice.

What's it like a difference of 4 or 5 maybe?

Sounds like I missed a dominant performance. You're welcome.

Tanner explained it to me (That alone is hilarious)

Apparently the fancy stat version does not include 3 on 3 or 4 on 4 or shorthanded.

So, apparently, that alone, makes it a good stat, versus +/- which is the worst stat ever.

I couldn't be bothered to point out to him that the 2 primary arguments against +/- were "sample size" (which is LOWER with is version) and the strong "team component", (which doesn't change at all with this version).

I know if I went down that rat hole with him, he would only pretend he doesn't understand my argument and ridicule it.

He truly is a (frank)ing idiot.

As long as you remember the golden equation of fancy stats:

Advanced Stats - Reality = Luck + You don't understand

You also need to remember the rules regarding sample size:

An appropriate sample size is any amount of information which shows a strong positive correlation between the fancy stat and reality.

An inappropriate sample size is one where the fancy stat does not correlate well with reality.

Lol

So what you're saying is Cody Franson's new album is objectively better than the Beatles, and you're not sure it's close.

Such a special pass from Zaitsev to Hyman on the Tavares goal.

Fancy stats fanatics won't be too impressed.

No, the formula is:

xGRF/60

Expected Gold Records per 60 years. Beatles are far and away generational in that regard. Franson is replacement level.

Do they track missed passes that end up in icing? Cause z is king of that

Amazing signing. Dubas deserves a ton of credit.

Coyotes AND Carolina in the playoff hunt?! Who would have thunk it?

What we did see coming is everyone suggesting the Panthers would be playoff contenders and fell off the wagon yet again. Oh and Matt Duchene ruining his third team.

I swear, it's been at least 15 years I have heard what amazing young talent Florida has and how much better they'll be next year.

Don't tell Max that.

What is strange is, leading up to July 1st I heard everyone and all the media say he's staying on Long Island or signing in San Jose. Once the Leafs sign him the story becomes he was always going to the Leafs to not give Dubas credit.

Truth is, Dubas had to work harder to sign JT than for any UFA signing in NHL history.

💩 happened twice on this roadtrip. Play the full game!! Do that in the playoffs that can kill ya!

33-0-1 after leading after two periods.

Don’t be one of those people who have a short memory.

I have read this morning so many times already they are done in the first round if they can't hold a 3-0 lead. LOL. People treat the Leafs differently than any other team.

33-0-1 is not enough for them.

4th best record in the NHL. Second best goal diff. Christ..

It’s the Leafs.

The most recent game is the type of team they are. People are just so (frank)ing dumb sometimes.

It just gets tiresome. Oh my god they gave up 2 goals the final 3 minutes, no chance they can win a round.

WHAT?

Staring to understand why the Leafs wanted to trade Brown.

I like him,he is a good 3rd line checking forward who can kill penalties.

But (frank), he doesn’t fit on a 4th line energy line.

Yeah but honestly it’s not hard to see through them.

Too many gullible people that will believe anything some random person will tell them.

Sounds fun Blazey, interesting to hear your take on the live game.

Like I always say about Babs, Shanny and Stevie Y both played for the man, both decided to select him as coach, and both know a few things about championship hockey. On the other hand, Mike Commodore chirps him from home. So I'll trust in the Shanaplan. Trying enjoying the Leafs is crazy enough to work. Go Leafs Go brother.
- Zezel

I’m too hungover to figure out how to bold the Mike Commodore comment but it’s worthy of a laughy, maybe even two 😂😂.

Also I’m relatively new to this bullpoop called your 30’s. Why are hangovers hell on Earth, this isn’t a permanent thing is it?
