I think we know why you were trying to point out
But that’s fine, we can pretend like you didn’t have a point & your intention was just to say we don’t hot as much as other teams do

Regardless,
obviously the team who hits more doesn’t mean they’ll win

The stat just doesn’t matter

I think you're doing yourself a bit of a disservice here; you looked at one night only.
Of course there's no visible "correlation" at that time-frame. Buddy was talking averages though, so you have to look at a larger sample size (ie: a season).

It's going to be an imperfect metric, but it could prove useful.

The question is whether # of hits has any connection to a team's success (in the W category) over time; I don't think anyone ever said hits = wins.

Also "correlation" is distinctly different from "lead to wins" (which would be "causation").

It’s a snow storm
We’ve all been though it

We’ll get through this one just fine too
Just hunker down & stay indoors

Everything will be fine in time for thanksgiving festivities

I didn’t look at “one night only”
I just used the date he presented against him,
and he only provided 1 night worth of data

It is typical though
More hits doesn’t equal more wins

It’s been awful. My snowblower gear cable got all jacked up earlier so had to take it apart and get it all back together.

Was out basically every hour getting pelted just to keep it manageable.

I’m exausted. Haha.

- ImThatGuy

Yeah, have to or couldn't get out of the House. That sucks about the gear cable. Luckily you new how to fix it.

My friends garage collapsed under the snow.

There were firefighters tracking down my road on foot earlier because the truck couldn’t make it down.

It’s the most snow I’ve ever seen dumped in a one day period.

Everybody make sure your heat vents and gas meters are cleared.

Sunday and Monday are going to have 40mph + winds. It’s going to be a disaster.

Yeah, that could create pretty big drifts
At some point I’ll be going down to the south towns to shovel off my sister’s roof, dig out my parents, & help any other family/friends that need it

Sucks
But we’ve all been through it & we’ll be fine
Just gotta be smart & stay safe

Doug allen was part of the entertainment, maybe he shows up for 90's night Wednesday?

reason 12,345 why the bills should be building a dome right now

Noone's getting anywhere near the stadium, if it had a dome it would still be empty

That is exactly how I feel …… it’s snow. Stay home. Drink beer and watch movies

It could be way worse.

To people living in the snow belt. It’s expected. This isn’t new.

It’s not like the hurricane where houses and everything were destroyed
