I tried it once, but I only had an acetylene torch.

Dallas letting Matthews walk down the slot by himself was a curious choice.
- Zezel


Honestly think everyone lost that puck and thinking they thought it went out/into the netting. Looked like even Matthews wentbohhh hi there and then walked in while everyone was just oblivious.

There's no advance stat for that, so it's not really happening.

(Absolutely no issue with Aaron - but on here enough to get a sense of each posters tone and whatnot)…but that comment actually made chuckle. I’m not at all a fan of the advanced stats crap. Too much stock put into things that don’t include:
Team style of play
Team defence/offence (system)
Who plays with who
Who each player plays against night to night

There’s a lot more to consider than just the stat when it comes to hockey

My favourite: +/- is a terrible stat for determining a guy’s effect on scoreboard, but looking a shot attempts for and against is a terrific stat for determining a guy’s effect on the scoreboard.

OK

Stats are a grain of salt kinda thing eh…to a certain extent even assists and I suppose as a result pts (though it’s a stretch I guess)…secondary assists are odd to me sometimes

Schenn for Mete.

Plus just look what he did to the Habs hotdog?! Just amp up the rivalry games more

- Roadrunner75


Schenn will cost a nice piece. Great contract, playing the best of his career, hits like a semi and provides a fair amount of toughness.
Not sure which team is softer, the Leafs or the Canucks, but he should be available, to the highest bidder.
No, Kerfoot or Niemela won't do it.

Wouldn’t surprise me Benn has some Corey Perry type antics in him - the difference is he will throw down when challenged and not turtle like that puke Perry.

GREAT BACKCHECK BY AM34!

Schenn is a 5-6-7 d man. Sorry if you ate thinking you ate getting some major piece for him good luck there. Mid pick or prospect really
