Arithmetic Working Against Canes

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Here's something depressing. So Connor McDavid has played 13 games and has 13G, 25A, 38 Points.

If I go back the last 10 years and look at ALL of the players the Canes have drafted in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd round that are still with the organization (Canes, Checkers, Everblades, Junior, etc..)..their totals as of right now?

88 GP, 7G, 22A, 29 points...combined.

Now, I know that scoring in the OHL isn't the same as the NHL or even AHL, and some of the players picked (Ladd, JJ, Sutter) or with other NHL teams, but that was 31 draft picks over 10 years. Man, do the Canes need a talent like him.

The list still with Carolina includes: Fleury, Foegele, Lindholm, Pesce, Di Guiseppe, McGinn, Murphy, Rask, Lowe, Skinner, Faulk, Biega, Levi, Boychuk.

^ that should be maddening rather than depressing...I wonder how that stacks up by comparison with the other teams in the league over that time period in general though.

Well if you make it 11 years instead of 10 the total changes to 860 games, 297 goals, 423 assists, 720 points.

Thanks Danny Richmond.

No, I was only comparing this years numbers, not career numbers

 

[DaleCooper]

Lol I am an idiot. What's sad though is that I didn't even hesitate to believe that the numbers could be that absurdly low for 10 years, which of course makes no sense when you remember Skinner, Faulk, etc.

I'm sorry, but there's *nothing* in there. He used a lot of words but literally said nothing. Which kinda makes it worse, I think. Injuries, blah, blah, injuries, blah, blah. Same stuff, different guy. I'm going to take a few weeks off.

Forgive me for picking a nit, but he didn't literally say nothing, he literally said something, using words.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

He meant literally, in a figurative sense.

Which is literally (in the literative sense) one of the definitions of "literally" now.

That is not acceptable, I say, and damned to hell with all of you!

Blame Merriam-Webster

Blame Merriam-Webster

I'm pretty sure you can't trust anything with a hyphen in it, and besides, the Oxford says (literally, because I'm copy-pasting) such usages of the word 'literally' "can lead to unintentional humorous effects (we were literally killing ourselves laughing) and is not acceptable in formal contexts, though it is widespread."

Look—I'm not saying using the word 'literally' in a figurative sense will cause death, war, famine, disease, child abuse, toothache, etc. It's just mildly annoying.
