GDT: CandyCanes GDT vs Sharks

[Bub]

I would hate to be coach's "my little guy".

I assumed he meant his kid does that. Not Dougie, lol.

And yeah, Canes are winning despite getting very unlucky. When they have normal luck they should be winning every game like 5-2.

We've been saying this for five seasons. The question now is when exactly does this start turning around, especially when you consider we're headed toward another season of sub-100 PDO. Either our assumptions about PDO are wrong or the Hurricanes are a historically bad shooting team. There are no other options.

 

[DaveG]

It's not necessarily one or the other. We generate a lot of our cycle offense off of shots from the defense, which tend to be far lower percentage on the whole. That said, when Faulk and/or Hamilton's percentages normalize we'll be over 100 in PDO anyway.

Holy shit a GDT that actually has made it to page 40!

We wanted the mods to close one for us instead of leaving it open forever.

 

[cptjeff]

I agree. You had better be in the best shape of your lives to attempt this strategy over the course of an 82 game season.

So, uh, you noticed who we hired as the coach, right?

Fair to say that "best shape of your lives" is the default expectation on this hockey club at the moment.

Hahaha Brian Burke you grumpy old man.

Even strength, they haven’t been that bad. Outscoring 26-15 with a .991 pdo. It’s all special teams in regards to not scoring as much as it seems like they should.

Hahaha Brian Burke you grumpy old man.

Is it that surprising that if someone doesn't like it, Brian Burke would be the one? It's like he's training to be the grumpy part of Don Cherry, but just isn't as good at the rest of the shtick.

So he doesn’t mind contracting venarial disease, and y’all don’t think he likes fun.

So somewhat random question about Epic Games/Fortnite, as someone who's never played it. They tweeted Dougies dance after last game, and I believe they are still a minority owner of the team? If so, is there any Canes stuff in the game? I thought a lot of the money in Fortnite was buying clothes etc, why not have Canes jerseys or hats in the game you can outfit your character with. Seems like a chance for more advertising and recognition, which Dundon hasn't been against so far

One of the people in Epic is a minority’s owner of the Canes.
