Connor McDavid vs Jack Eichel - Round V

You think Eichel, who's humming at 0.5PPG, will drop ~55P in 63 games to round out the season? I'd call that optimistic, though you do like beating the Eichel drum.

Yes. Did you even read my post? 65 points was the expectation of most before the season. He's done nothing to make me doubt that, and he's still due to regress upwards in terms of on ice shooting percentage.
I can see 65 the way he's playing. He was pretty non existent in the back to back games but other than that he's been very good creating many scoring chances
55 is more realistic to me though with the way things have been going this year for the the team

Speaking of this....does anyone know if there a website that has individual stats for scoring chances?

Cont. without supporting.
He's also bound to hit the rookie wall at some point, he only played at most 60 something games last year. The NHL grind he will wear down at some point.
Yes, very clear that I read it as I questioned the only content in it. Ho boy.
So Eichel is essentially a top 10 forward in the league for the rest of the season? Despite being essentially a middle six forward 20 games in? Because you believe?

No, regress means to go back. As in Eichel's on ice shooting percentage will go back upwards to league average.

Crosby is also a middle six forward on the stat sheet. Leave predictions to people who have actually watched Eichel.

Please stop with the hyperbole. It does nothing to advance discussion. It's obvious you haven't watched any Buffalo games. How many middle six forwards are top 20 in the league in SOG?
Are you just stat watching?
^^^This makes no sense.^^^ One would either say progress upwards or regress downwards - or better yet, simply move up or move down. If you mix the two, it becomes a contradiction.
I know exactly what it means.

No, clearly you do not.

In this case a regression toward the mean is a regression upwards towards the mean.

Wow. You of all posters should not speak of "hyperbole" when it comes to Eichel.
Wew Hew! WYTD is using/combining the "Eichel Excuses" I listed before the season
When a large chunk of your shots are from the blue line or the perimeter because you're scared of body contact, your shot total means little.

Yes I do. No matter how you spin it, it was poorly written.

Excellent argument filled with facts and sources.
How many times have you "quit" the forums again this season?

No facts or sources, just common sense and proper grammar. Simply put, he was trying to be too clever by half.
When the grammar police are being summoned, I'll be there!!!
Your prediction is Eichel will be a near PPG player going on the rest of the season. Guess how many players were PPG last season? Essentially making him a top 10-15 forward in the league, which he absolutely isn't yet. Are you stat watching? Or riding your Eichel high you've ridden since pre draft? You have an agenda buddy, don't think I don't remember

Please, explain how regression works. I'll wait.
