GDT: Williams night: Canes vs Kings

[Lempo]

I like how you have to slowly peek out the last one like they do in the Finnish variant of Five-Card Stud.

 

[Negan4Coach]

Well, you know what- I deserved that victory since the last 3 games I attended the Canes scored precisely 1 goal in each.

Really impressed with how Dundon has revamped the mobile app- lots of great features like getting your seats next to friends, upgrading to better seats, etc. Also-The new light show on the ice was amazeballs.

The military rush seats are a lot closer to the ice than they used to be (I'm assuming the college rush are as well), and you can get them online now instead of lining up an hour prior to the game- yay!

 

[Lempo]

Did Aho just call Williams daddy?

Okay yeah so which of you is this?



PM me if you don't want to out yourself. I just want to know.

edit:

NVM, apparently he got it from Alan:



Who judging from the date got it from AD:

greggory mckeggory

Who posts on HF.

Where everyone likes bacon.

Talk about a Pyrrhic victory with all these injuries- I'm choosing to believe that Faulk and Ferland were held out because there was no reason for them to play through any pain with the game sewn up. Sucks about de haan too but that may not keep him out of the lineup for a long time. I'm staying hopeful

I know it's a meaningless stat, but I am always intrigued with goal differential. We moved to +16. That's more than Washington. So even though our d is strong, that shows we are still scoring goals because we just moved on the positive side in the last couple weeks.

 

[VaCaps Fan]

Negan4coach- thank you for your service and you definitely earned those seats!

Individual plus minus is a meaningless stat, sure... but team plus minus definitely is not.

 

[Lurk Muller]

Anyone mind giving me a short recap on the injuries last night? I may or may not have been watching Drag Race with the gf.

 

[jiitu]

So pace with Darling 62 P. Pace without Darling 101 P, now would be 78 P.

If aunt would have balls she would be actually he-

If...just if.

Faulk left the game first. No idea how or when, but he was the first guy out.

Ferland left after a goal scored in the 2nd. Got caught up with Quick going across the crease. Looks like he tweaked something in his back.

De Haan had some weird random ass post game workout injury.

Nothing known yet, all 3 could bw back Friday

 

[JCLA]

Slavin was also in the double digit minus at some point. Both at 0 now.

They finally have some chemistry.

Slavin, at one point I believe, led the league in minus

 

[The Stranger]

Individual plus minus is a meaningless stat, sure... but team plus minus definitely is not.

Baseball Pythagorean calc applied to the Canes:

W%=[(Runs Scored)^1.81]/[(Runs Scored)^1.81 + (Runs Allowed)^1.81]
W%=[(Goals Scored)^1.81]/[(Goals Scored)^1.81 + (Goals Allowed)^1.81]
W%=[(187)^1.81]/[(187)^1.81 + (171)^1.81] = 54%

The Canes have played 63 games and have 34 wins...which equates to 54%.

It's always good to cross-reference a team's score/goal differential vs their record as it is certainly a meaningful stat.

 

[DaveG]

Indeed he did, but never trust a small sample size.

They didn’t actually announce Faulk would not be returning until after Ferland. I honestly didn’t even notice Faulk wasn’t gone.

I really think Ferland hurt his forearm. When he went flying across the crease he had his arm out to break his fall and all of his weight appeared to come down on it. It must have been something really painful to immediately rush off the ice while the team was celebrating the goal.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

I was hoping Ferland just had a stinger after landing on his arm, but with him sitting out for the rest of the game, that seems unlikely.

 

[DaveG]

Quite possibly. The way he was skating off the ice to me indicated more of a back injury though, at least from where i was sitting

 

[Lempo]

Individual plus minus is a meaningless stat, sure... but team plus minus definitely is not.

Individual is not meaningless. An Entry-level System player can have a Performance Bonus where being a team Top 2 player in forwards/defenders in +/- pays him up to $212.5k of monies.

That amount buys my house about four times.

 

[Neighbor Lee]

I couldn't tell from my seats--did Quick intentionally glove Ferland's skate?

 

[Ole Gil]

Ferland def looked like he was favoring an arm. Shoulder or wrist would be my guess.

 

[The Faulker 27]

Was probably just how it looked on TV but it looked like Ferland was smiling as he skated off. That might have been a grimace.

 

[GoldiFox]

Slavin, at one point I believe, led the league in minus

At his worst Slavin was at -18 on December 29th which was 37 games into the year. After starting the season +2 he had a 33 game stretch where he went -20 and had only 3 games where he finished +.
Since December 29th Slavin is +18 in 27GP. During that stretch he has been a negative player only 5 times.

	# Negative +/-	# Neutral +/-	# Positive +/-
Games 1-37	16	16	5
Games 38-63	5	8	13

Not many better examples of the team gelling than the Slavin-Hamilton pair. They both got a bit less selfish and both became better offensively and defensively.

pretty cool your gf likes fast cars (is her purse heavy when you're carrying it? j/k j/k j/k)

Only when I'm trying to carry mine at the same time.

I couldn't tell if it was intentional, but Ferl's skate definitely "landed" in Quick's glove and looked like it contributed to him coming down hard. Given the way he tucked his arm to his side, I think Ferland hurt his wrist or hand. He was holding it still and didn't attempt to fix his glove which was not fully on after the fall.

 

[DougieSmash]

I start to wonder if this team have legit #2 center (Couturier, Trocheck and etc)... could he win the Stanley?
