GDT: Carolina Hurricanes vs Montreal Canadiens- 12/16/14 7:30pm EST SNE,RDS (HD), TSN 690

[Analyzer*]

Oh great. A game vs the Hurricanes
I hate the Hurricanes.

Do you see one materializing tonight, or just a light windstorm that's easily crushed ?

I think the Habs will win, but it's going to be boring as hell.

 

[JayKing]

Most irrelevant team in the league.

Lol so true.

 

[Richiebottles]

Most irrelevant team in the league.

I like how everyone is talking about what a mess the Oilers are but there is 0 mention of the Canes...

Honestly, I looked at the lineup they have for tonight and I'm not sure they would beat some AHL teams.

No excuse to lose to the Hurricanes tonight.

Woah I didn't realize they were that bad.

Their D core is not terribly bad though.

 

[DenverHabsFan]

Bring back the Whalers!!

Best goal song ever:

 

[phoque taupe]

Exactly the kind of team able to beat us

That brings back lots of memories. Here's the full version of the Brass Bonanza...

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

Good luck tonite guys, hoe it's a fun game of stick puck.

Also, please win in regulation pls

K thx bai

 

[Pricef*]

Carolina will out corsi the Habs yet the Habs will somehow win handily due to the statistically insignificant qualities of creating better scoring chances, having better finishers and superior goaltending.

Yeah but none of those things matter!! The ONLY thing that means anything are corsi stats!!

 

[WeThreeKings]

If you don't have the puck, if you don't create shots and have a lot of shots against you. Yes, more often than not you will lose.

Its not even debatable. Yes we have Price but every time a puck goes toward the net there's a chance of a silly deflection. This can't happen if you have the puck and are attacking.

Anyways, this should be the type of game where galchenyuk and patches get on the board.

 

[MSLs absurd thighs]

The funniest thing about people taking Corsi's, Fenwick's and whatnot as the be-all end-all of predicting success and failure is; Despite mediocre Corsi and Fenwick numbers, Habs, not long ago, were still a top-5 team in possession time per game. Those stats were compiled about 2 weeks ago. So yeah. There's that.

 

[De Montreal]

what? our last matchup against the Canes was in january???

 

[Sterling Archer]

At work today I saw an account that spent over $300,000 on Hurricanes tickets. I don't even know how that's possible.

Sounds like someone is cooking the books. You can buy season tickets, spend to your hearts content for all 41 home games and not come close to that amount.

Doesn't the US whistle blower laws

I'm glad we have corsi stats to provide us with this infinite fountain of wisdom.

 

[That Habs Fan]

it's incredible to me that this team won a cup...such a forgettable team

the biggest 'fart in the wind' in sports

 

[TroyM]

I'm glad we have corsi stats to provide us with this infinite fountain of wisdom.

I definitely didn't know that possession was important, shots against are dangerous, more shots = more good, and having the puck > not having the puck until it was put into a statistic, it really helps me learn more good

[I have no beef with advanced stats, they can be interesting, but love the serious nature of the discussion lately, too easy to poke fun at the lil Billy Beaners]

Filosa isn't the most reliable guy but if E Staal is saying it...

That is something.

 

[Tyson]

I remember not so long ago the Canes being a very good team. Rutherford left that place a mess. With that said, any team can beat any team on any given night. Do not take this game lightly

 

[68*]

I predict one of our players will get a boarding penalty called against him because Staal is weak on his skates.
