Sounds like a video game reference. Imma guess Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I played it lots when I was little but can't remember much about it.

That explains it.

I guess he can take FO's. We all know how important they are, right rt.

Riley Nash? No not really.

It’s embarrassing you can’t fit this argument into your head, man. A strong faceoff team can afford to have one guy who’s not great on draws. The difference between one guy going 45% vs 50% is meaningless over 82 games. There isn’t an argument here. Just a lack of mental capacity. If a person can only think and speak in bumper sticker slogans, this sort of thing can be confusing.

It's funny, I can tell exactly who you're replying to despite his posts being hidden.

Not that this graph tells you anything about the present argument but its interesting to see how teams with good and/or bad overall FOW% fare in the standings. Some really good teams on the bottom of the list. Without perspective it's really kinda meaningless though???

Close.

Video Game yes but Not the turtles.

The argument first started that FO's don't matter much, now it's changed to "if you are a strong FO team", you can have one guy under 50%. FO's do matter, ask any coach, but I agree one guy under 50% doesn't matter. In fact I think every team probably has one of their C's under 50%.

The thing with FO's is when you win or lose them, most times on special teams. That is when your FO guy becomes your McDavid of the team. Between teams, the FO% doesn't vary all that much, so when you need to win a draw at a crucial time of the game, that is when coaches send out their FO guys.

You’re wrong. You never understood the argument. It didn’t change. You just can’t keep it straight in your head.

You know it's a midseason waiver claim thread when we're dredging up old arguments about faceoff philosophy and doing video game trivia.

Does Nash slot into the lineup? Or is he a healthy scratch tomorrow against Nashville?

BA is currently spending $3.8m on centers in AAV.

Hayton - Larsson - Boyd - Nash

That has to be a record.

I'm going to need to see that screen grab of one of our line ups late in the McDavid tank season. IIRC Hanzal, Boedker were on IR, Vermette had been traded and I think Chipchura was our 1C.

This is from April 4, 2015 vs San Jose. One of the 25 wins that year. That lineup though...brutal.

Just ask a coach, any coach. Don't take my word for it.

Verrrrry slowwwly…

1. My argument has NEVER changed.

2. It was ALWAYS that a single center being poor at FOs on a strong FO team has a negligible impact over 82gp.

I’ll leave it at that and see if you can process two items at once.

But you are in the right decade.
