Oh SOD lvling nightmares.

I appreciated being a druid. I could respecialize to feral to grind to new level caps lol.

I am... healer LFG SM LIB spam

(but for real, it's luke glendening)

The real question is:

Were you the Horde player actually trying to run Scarlet Monastery, or the Alliance player ganking? (Or rather, healing the DPS who were ganking.)

You’re a monster. We just wanted to get farm up a Scarlet set in peace

Oh sure. Like you weren't the rogue who camped Nesingwary and the rebel flight master in STV.

 

[Holden Caufield]

Rough weekend for Danielson.
1 point in 3 games and a -2 .
Did he get loaned to the KHL after his big game?

Was really hoping he could parlay that 5 point night into a consistent offensive spark.

what in the dungeons & dragons are you nerds talking about?

I can't watch any of the Portland games, but it seems that they have a few guys 8-12 months older than Danielson that they are giving the prime O-zone opportunities to. He takes the most faceoffs on the team, I suspect they are probably having him take D-zone faceoffs whenever possible.

I mean, he can already play at an NHL level defensively, so it makes sense since they already have guys who they know can score but can't play a lick of defense. The usage makes sense. The fact he can randomly put up a 5 point night tells you the offensive skill is there, but that's just not how they are using him. We look at the CHL as a developmental league but they want to make the memorial cup finals and turn a profit, too.

It would be nice to watch the games but I'm not paying for junior hockey.

 

[Cake Eater]

Only scoring a point per game on a bad Brandon team: hurt development, low potential. ‘Only ThIrD LiNeR…’

Scoring above a point per game on a good Portland team: game too easy, might make him develop bad habits, ‘yeah, but Sam Gagner was a jr superstar…’

Am I doing this thread right?

No? Brandon was a playoff team with Nate

 

[jkutswings]

Hmmm. Can't tell if this one is more Bloodscalp or Darkspear.

 

[Konnan511]

This is not Dungeons and Dragons my friend. This is something far more sinister. If they utter a few more phrases they might summon an angry Tipper Gore.

He wanted to feed the trolls on this board something. How can they call him a bust if he is scoring?

So he's LFG with no backhand now?

i get the sarcasm, but he was a -2 on two empty net goals wasn't he? or am i thinking of another prospect.

 

[Ed Ned and Leddy]

On the subject, I feel like Nate Danielson would main a Prot Warrior.

Are we talking the cool guy who levels while helping others by running dungeons? Or the masochist who exclusively does open world quests?

Or... *gasp*

Is this a South Park "just kill boars in the forest" situation?

Nah. Nate doesn't seem like that kinda guy.

Does he?

That mario kart 64 video the social media team released is the only material we have to evaluate each prospect's gaming (or non-gaming) tendencies/skills. I think we'd have to watch it again to determine Danielson's wow class and role.

 

[Henkka]

Those empty net minuses are one of the most misleading stats.

 

[Detroit Knights]

Those empty net minuses are one of the most misleading stats.

This is why i have cooled off on the +/- stat column. You could just get on the ice when the other team is on a breakaway and you automatically get a - if they score when you were on the ice for all of 1 second. Yes, it's an outlier, but still.

I also hate how we calculate pp% as well. Same premise, you get on the powerplay for 5 seconds and you take a penalty, nullifying your pp opportunity but it automatically goes 0/1 on the pp, same goes for the other team when they get out of the box 5 seconds before the other guy. They should go off of pp time.

Example: we score 0.75 goals per 2 minutes of powerplay time. It's like the Goals/60 stats but instead would be PPG/2 minutes of pp time stats. Are they doing this yet?

 

[Henkka]

This is why i have cooled off on the +/- stat column.

Last season 100-point Erik Karlsson was plus-96, minus-96 = ZERO at 5-on-5.

But his season total was -26.

There was those shorthanded goals against (you get the minus, but don't get the plus from the PP), 3-on-3 "non"-hockey, and mostly these empty netters against, when poor team like last season Sharks did try to chase the lead.

Karlsson was +39 and -11 on the power-play. You collect the minuses, not the plusses.

***

Also remember one season, when Brad Stuart was a pairing with Kronwall.

People in here had a clear picture, how Stuart is great at defending, when he was +10 at season totals.

And Kronwall was bad, because he was something like -5.

The difference came from empty-net situations. Stuart played with Lidström, when defending the lead, getting easy plusses from EN goals.

And Kronwall was chasing the lead with Lidström, collecting the minuses, when they were scored against with empty net.

Kronwall-Stuart was equal on any other situations.

Really odd point in support for Karlsson unless you provide the same stats for everyone else.

 

[Our Lady Peace]

At the Hawks/Royals game tonight. Will try to post updates as I go

 

[Our Lady Peace]

First few shifts:

PK time, pressuring the puck, broke up a shot attempt in the d-zone, O-zone time and had some good puck possession. Puck is following him out there. Testament to his IQ

...To that last point, the next shift he has a high danger chance where the puck just followed him into the slot. Big save by goalie Holt

Both teams giving up lots of good chances against here so far 11 mins in

 

[Our Lady Peace]

Won a faceoff back to the point, shot on goal and buried by Nguyen. 2-1 Hawks. Should count an assist there!

Edit: he appears to have not been given the assist. Pretty clear win back to O'Brien who got the assist.

 

[Our Lady Peace]

Oh man he had a yawning cage and decided to cross-crease pass instead. Hawks are pressing the Royals more now
