“@PLeonardNYDN: #NYR beginning practice here in Greenburgh. Not skating are Glass (mumps), Boyle (flu? mumps?), and Dom Moore (not sure)â€
What is the deal with Boyle? He said, like a week ago, that he felt way better and seemed like he was ready to go. Is he sick or injured?
If Moore is out for whatever reason, wonder who goes in his place.
I don't remember anyone ever missing this much time with "flu like symptoms"
I was really hoping it wasn't the mumps but god damn what else could it be?
Over the summer I had some weird flu thing for like 12 days. Those things can stick around if you get a bad one. I just hope it's not gonna ravage the whole team, whatever it is.
It could be anything at this point. Just have to hope its not anything really, really serious.
I know if I was that sick for an extended period I'd be wanting all types of tests done on me.
I'm sure he'll understandso I live an hr from Detroit buy my kids bday party is Saturday. bahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I live an hour away from Tampa... spent $ and time away from family in town for Thanksgiving... wanna know how that worked out?
You were at the game? I was as well. Amalie arena is beautiful.
Here's something funny about advanced stats, kind of related to the Rangers. I used to hate them, but I am buying in a little. I think they're very useful. But I also think they have to be applied properly.
For example, Rick Nash and Marty St. Louis have negative CF%, and Nash has the 2nd worst Fenwick against on the team.
But they've scored 36% of our goals this season. Like I literally cannot care about their advanced stats when they have a 3rd and change of the team's goals.
Team advanced stats tend to pick out winners, and as such I certainly hope ours improve, but individual advanced stats often have me scratching my head as to what to do with them.
It's a bit of an anomaly for sure, but #fancystats are much more than Corsi/Fenwick. Although, those two + PDO are the three basic stats that everyone should start familiarizing themselves with.
To gauge a players general success, I like looking at 5v5 in all situations.
If you look at that, Nash and MSL are both negative Fenwick relative (1.92% and 1.91% respectively - so not by much. What's really interesting, and sort of disheartening at the same time, is that Nash's PDO is 103.59. That will (normally) regress to the mean of 100. So, it's why some people are arguing that Nash's play is a bit unsustainable. His possession metrics aren't blowing the world up, yet his PDO is way higher than 100. MSL on the other hand has a PDO < 100 at 98.81. So, his PDO is a bit more correlated to his rel Fenwick% than Nash's. If MSL can get his possession numbers up, his PDO will jump to 100, so we can expect even more production from MSL.
You can also look further, though.
5v5, Nash and MSL start basically all over the ice. 108-128-100 and 114-133-96 (offense-neutral-defense). They're pretty middle of the pack here in regards to the rest of the team, but it could help explain their Fenwick.
And of course, competition, Nash faces the second best competition on the team 5v5 (behind Brassard). MSL faces the 6th best.
#Fancystats dig a lot deeper than this, but that's about as far down the rabbit hole I've been able to explore.
