Post-Game Talk: Canucks 0, Penguins 5

[Bad Goalie]

Tanev isn't on IR though. He's just sitting. If they activate Pettersson then someone has to go.

Got ya.

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Penguins have 15 goals in their last two games..yikes..

 

[Samzilla]

Penguins have 15 goals in their last two games..yikes..

So they're due for a down game?

 

[wonton15]

Pettersson alone will make this worth watching.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Yuck. Just heard Boeser talking about his injury.

“There was a few games there where I would feel it a lot and it would get worse as the game went on.”

“That’s the hockey season... you have to battle through it.”

NO YOU DONT!

Goes on to say he still feeling it but he’s “good enough to play”.

Disclaimer - I am not a doctor.

Ummm Yes, you do
Otherwise no team will have a complete roster, because no nhl player is ever 100% healthy during the season

* Injured; will not play this many games.

just to be petty, EP is on pace to play 41 games ....

 

[BassMason]

@Etteduag ot Reseob That's MY source pal. I don't know what his source was.

It was on a Canuck TV bit I saw on FB.

It was on a Canuck TV bit I saw on FB.

I figured it was something like that. Thanks!

 

[Zippgunn]

So it's a home game and our two biggest offensive threats are back from injury so I'm guessing a Marky start...

 

[The Stig]

Im not.

Trade him at the TDL for Brannstrom and a 3rd round pick. Resign Edler in the offseason to 2 year contract $5.75 million/season

For the one hundred billionth time, he refuses to waive his no trade.

 

[Intangibos]

For the one hundred billionth time, he refuses to waive his no trade.

Is this confirmed for this TDL though? I know he has refused to waive his NTC in the past as he likely feels at home here, but a temporary move at the TDL on the final year of his contract is another story.

It's projecting their rate stats over all remaining games, not projecting their games played.

 

[nuck luck]

No he didnt your looking for something thats NOT there. Properly source it bub

?

 

[Icebreakers]

This. And gp isn't projectable. No one can be on pace for x games played like it's some kind of reliable stat.

 

[M2Beezy]

Rats. Wish it was Murray. Boeser OWNS him

 

[valkynax]

Rats. Wish it was Murray. Boeser OWNS him

I'm sure it's just luck that BB6 can score on Murray at will no matter how much the latter chirps and derps.

5 times in 2 games says OTHERWISE Valky

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Jets choked away 2 pts in 2 mins
Lol

 

[hellstick]

I hate the god damned goal song the Leafs play. I guess that's the point.

 

[mossey3535]

sick of outdated Hrudey takes on this equipment business.

If your post integration technique is sloppy or lazy or misused (which it often is even in the NHL), it doesn't matter how big your chest protector is.

He has some points but he keeps trying to reframe it in terms of the equipment.

Players have been coming up with ways to exploit guys hugging the posts early for at least three seasons now.

Melvin says: "It's projecting their rate stats over all remaining games, not projecting their games played."

This. And gp isn't projectable. No one can be on pace for x games played like it's some kind of reliable stat.

It may be fair enough that this is what he was doing, but if we can't predict % GP from the rate at which a player has participated in, then how can any rate stat be predicted? Points Rate, by this definition, is a calculation of production over time available. If time available is at the GP rate of using only half the games, then shouldn't both "stats" be used if calculating something as irrelevant as PPG rate?

No doubt, one could argue that the sample size for missing games percentage is very low, but then just as small a sample size would be points per game after 7 or 8 games played- the same sample size.

Isn't it all irrelevant?

Anyhow, really excited and interested to see if he can still produce with worse defensemen supporting him after a concussion and time recovering and against a very good/hot team.

Jets choked in the 3rd
