Personally IDGAF if you post charts and stats out the wazoo in the other threads. Knock yourself out. Some I'm even interested in. The issues you have are with the rules, and other posters who don't like looking at that stuff all the time. No need to go over it again.
What burns my beans is when you post shit like this (quoted here):
Speculation: - Acq./Rost. Bldg./Cap/Lines etc. Part LXVII
Granted it's an older example but I think the principle is the same: advanced offensive stats trump "unmeasurables", or anything that smacks of defense-over-offense.
Didn't we learn anything about overfocus on these things from that period, and the Cup run?
I have praised Nick Jensen repeatedly this season, despite his offensive impact being incredibly small.
I have given the 4th line plenty of credit this year for their ability to play shutdown defensive minutes and free up the top 6 to play easier minutes.
I've agreed with Peter Laviolette's apparent strategy to play a slower paced game because the team's defense is its strength.
You're not really making a compelling argument if I can point to 3 counterexamples off the top of my head.
