LINDY RUFF NEEDS VIAGRA!!
I 98% loved the intro, was just slightly freaked out by the veins in Dano's cheeks being visible during his speech lol
Steroids? I kid.

Dano got me so jacked up for this game. Love the new intro.
Probably.
We used strictly adhere to a shot being a puck that would go in, which is what it's supposed to be, but most arenas are a lot more open about that.
There was an article in I think USA Today about players purposely trying to juice their Corsi with random shots because it's used in contract negotiations. I'll see if I can find it
In all honesty, at certain points last season, Bennett looked like he was doing that. Would see him float the puck on goal when making a line change or wrist a shot on goal for a face-off sometimes.
That's hockey 101 though. I would always want any luck on net no matter what. But that's just me.
Did we get a new shot counter? I'm suspect of 80 shots.
A wrist shot with no traffic on the rush from a blue line by someone like Bennett would never go in. A guy like Palmieri trying to change the angle quickly and get a shot off through a defender is a different story. One seems like a Corsi-inflator while the other seems like a genuine attempt to score a goal.
Agreed. Doesn't matter who you are, where you are on the ice, or whats in front of you when you shoot. Every puck on net is a good play. If little flips from center ice can beat a goalie, so can any player in the league one on one.Lol. A shot on goal is never a bad play, and I highly doubt players are thinking "time to increase my Corsi!" But then again, I don't really know.

Pretty much agree, though it might explain those times when you see a guy lightly flip a puck on goal from 100 feet out at the end of a period at 22 mph.
You have a 100% better chance of scoring doing that than just holding the puck or dumping it to the corner.
I don't know... I think that are also times when just holding on to the puck for extra second allowing your teammates to get open or just making a pass to a player in a better position is the best play -- Just like Vanek was saying in that article.You have a 100% better chance of scoring doing that than just holding the puck or dumping it to the corner.
Sorry, but that's demonstrably false. Your odds do not go from 0 to 100%

That's not what I said though. Something with any probability of happening, even if it's 1%, is 100% more likely to happen than something that has a 0% chance of happening.
I was more or less joking.
On the other hand, you could say a .0001 % chance is *infinitely* more probable than a 0% chance so why stop at 100%
I think the question is more, what is the best path to keeping or quickly retrieving the puck. Or keeping the opposition from quickly breaking out. Putting a week shot on net from outside the zone is basically giving the opposing goalie the puck. Certainly Marty would try to quickly turn the puck up ice.You have a 100% better chance of scoring doing that than just holding the puck or dumping it to the corner.
I see no reason not to slot Wood and/or Blandisi into the lineup if one or both of Palms and Stafford are out. I'd hate to see LJ come in, have a decent game, and convince Hynes to slot him back into the regular lineup; because we know it would be smoke and mirrors.
