TSN 690 & Other Montreal sports media Thread V

[Censored Toad]

Anyone catch Geoff Molson just on 690, its official Bergevin is gonna be back.

What the hell did Bergevin do or say to convince him that he is the man to fix the team, he has taken it into the gutter.

Every aspect of this team has been built by Bergevin, except Price, Gallagher and Patch...WTF!

Please post the sediment when it becomes available.

Unbelievable that he would be allowed back. F**K you Geoff.

Molson: Bergevin knows how to evaluate talent

MB knows how to evaluate? Like making our defense bedder? What a joke.........

 

[MaxDummy]

Molson clearly doesn't care. I feel dumb for saying that but it's the only conclusion I can find.

 

[BLONG7]

yeah he really did suck up there hey, the MTL media likes to pump their chest as being tough but man they really are afraid of the Habs...their meal ticket I guess

Habs Media/Perimeter Pansies.

Friday scrum odds of tavares coming to the habs. Anywhere from 60-90% if he doesn't resign with the isles. I think they are delusional. I think this is why some of our posters think this way. If you are only hearing this kind of ridiculous media where of 6 guys only one guy said below 60% and it was still 35%...then surely it must be true.

Meanwhile back in reality Toronto thinks they had a 100% lock on stamkos in ontario and look how that turned out.

It's like the odds of this thread reverting back to being about the media. Anyone who thinks the odds are between 60-90% for that to happen, are delusional.

Not sure why anyone thought anybody on that station had enough balls to ask the tough questions...they might have before but they no longer do. I mean hell, they have Benn on every morning yet when he's not talking to the morning guys they bash him all day. They do nothing of the sort when he's on air. It's nonsense and shows their true colours.

I've been playing AC/DC - Highway to Hell on a loop for the past 18 hours trying to wash Campbell's on air karaoke version out of my brain. That was both painful and funny all at the same time. I'll give him an A for the effort and for following through on his bet though. That was likely much better than what I could do so I won't say much.

Galchenyuk, games with less than 10 FO taken:

2015-16: 41 games in 82
2016-17: 25 games in 61

Total : 54% of games he took more than 10 FO

Drouin, games with less than 10 FO taken

2017-18: 14 games in 66

Total: 79% of the games he took more than 10 FO

Galchenyuk, games with less than 5 FO taken:

2015-16: 23 games in 82
2016-17: 9 games in 62

Total: 78% of games he took more than 5 FO

Drouin, games with less than 5 FO taken

2017-18: 4 games in 66

Total: 94% of the games he took more than 5 FO.

If we agree a center takes approx 10 FO per game, Galchenyuk played center 54% of the time for 2015-17

For example, Tomas Plekanec took less than 10 FO only 4 times in 67 games this year. 3 times less than 14 minutes of TOI. 95% of this season he took 10 FO or more /game

In conclusion, did Galchenyuk play center 90% of the time in the last 2 seasons? No, not even close FFS!

Audio of Sean Campbell paying off his Pleks bet with Gallo singing AC/DC's Highway to Hell about 10 minutes in. Listen at your own risk.

Sadly, I heard Campbell's rendition which was more like someone screaming from a torture chamber and whose voice was dying out with each scream.

I think it was you who had come up with the Wounded Animal Screams description in respect of callers who are doing karaoke on Marinaro's show. This was more like an animal in agony.

[jackeymoon]

I have to say after reading Sean Campbell’s twitter page this afternoon, he’s the worst, most biased and dim witted personality on 690. Marinaro and Nilan, both of whom are really unimpressive(especially compared to their Toronto counterparts) are miles above Campbell.

So the games in which Alex Galchenyuk took 8 or 9 faceoffs...you decided to exclude out of this study, even if he played center? lol

LOL at anyone thinking we have a chance at Tavares LOL!!!!!!

we have 0% chance....0%

he will not come to an organisation where the defense is as bad as where he is now...

Get that through your heads

Anyone think we have 60% better go get drunk

he will go where he sees a chance to win...and its not here in Montreal, not now and not in 5 years

he will sign somewhere else...i guarantee 100% or my name isnt IKnowNothing

 

[sheed36]

I agree with Marinaro on him thinking it's stupid to play Price again this season risking an injury in meaningless games over Campbell who says maybe Price gets hurt again next year so play him now.

Exchange between Campbell and Gallo on twitter about Price playing again this season.

He was a good sport but that was god awful. He said today he can't sing and he wasn't lying. It reminded me of the scene in the movie Joe Dirt when the dog had his nut sack frozen to the front porch and the sounds coming from him whenever he tried to stand up.

As I have already stated the flopper/ass clown isn't worth talking about .

Can't you tell by now, nobody cares what you state.
It's a media thread. He's fair game.

So the games in which Alex Galchenyuk took 8 or 9 faceoffs...you decided to exclude out of this study, even if he played center? lol

The games where he took 8-9 FO are included in the % of games he took more than 5FO. Did you read my whole post or you tried to cherrypick? I took arbitrary numbers. Most centers will take 10+ FO in a game or at least 5+... It was a quick way to see if he played C or not... I did it with 5FO and more too but hey..

Or you can look game by game but I don't know how you'll know 100% if he was center or not. The % will still be favoring Drouin by a wide margin

Galchenyuk, games with less than 5 FO taken:

2015-16: 23 games in 82
2016-17: 9 games in 62

Total: 78% of games he took more than 5 FO

Drouin, games with less than 5 FO taken

2017-18: 4 games in 66

Total: 94% of the games he took more than 5 FO.


lol indeed.

lol indeed.

I'm not bothering comparing to Drouin because I don't care about that, I stated a few pages back, I don't care about who played more center between both players, I was just clarifying the numbers...the numbers I posted the other day are accurate.

The 2yrs prior to this one, Galchenyuk played a total of 143 games between 2015-2016 & 2016-2017...of those 143 games, 112 of them he played as a center (61 games in 2015-2016 & 51 in 2016-17), that's true no matter if he had 16 faceoffs on a specific night or 6 faceoffs.

And the reason why I lol'd is because I found it funny how you arbitrarily decided to exclude or put into a different category the games in which he had less than 10 faceoffs, as though he could only be defined a center in a particular game if he met some arbitrary faceoff attempts in a given game.

The number of faceoffs a player takes during a game, can't be the only exclusive measurable of whether or not he played center...some games you just don't take as many faceoffs.

This year, Galchenyuk hasn't played center and the most faceoffs he's taken in any given game this year is 3...most likely as a result of the center on his line getting kicked out for a violation or maybe a game in which Drouin got hurt and left early and CJ used Galchenyuk as a center (I think that happened once this year).

17...of those 143 games, 112 of them he played as a center (61 games in 2015-2016 & 51 in 2016-17), that's true no matter if he had 16 faceoffs on a specific night or 6 faceoffs.

112/143 = 78%


Galchenyuk, games with less than 5 FO taken:

2015-16: 23 games in 82
2016-17: 9 games in 62

Total: 78% of games he took more than 5 FO

78% vs 78% mind blown.
It still isn’t 90% like Belial was saying.

I never agreed with Belial's 90% argument...he just threw up a number.

BUT he wasn't very far off...

 

[MaxDummy]

This year, Galchenyuk hasn't played center and the most faceoffs he's taken in any given game this year is 3.

Exactly. You'll get it.. It's pretty rare for a winger to take more than 5 FO. For a center it's almost every game.

My method gave me a 78% of game played at center for Galchenyuk

Your method gave you a 78% of game played at center for Galchenyuk

I call this an amazing coincidence
