Erik Karlsson - 23 games, 2 goals, 15pts. -6

[6 Karlsson 5]

Statics? You can't even spell the word and you're telling me I don't understand them?

For what it's worth I understand statistics really well. That's why I call these ones silly stats. They're created by people who want to be the Bill James of hockey but they just aren't smart enough to really understand how useless they are.

Congrats, you got me on a typo. You must feel really good.
And yes, random poster on hf is smarter than everyone working on hockey analytics, probably has a 160 IQ. This includes stats profs working at top-100 universities
Yes, that must be correct

corsi is equally as absurd as +/-

corsi is just the +/- of shots

Yea, that just isn't true. They are not equally absurd.

It wasn't a typo, it was your ignorance.

Also, you shouldn't worry about my IQ. Just rest assured that it is higher than yours, in all likelihood by at least 1 standard deviation if not more.

Yea, a guy who averages 90% in stats courses really doesn't know how to spell the word.
I'm surprised you even know what a st.dev is

He probably doesn’t like it in SJ. His heart was set on Tampa

That's most assuredly not it. lol

 

[Paperbagofglory]

New team, new system, lost his child, big behind the scenes drama, traded from his home since he was a teenager, moving to a new place and starting again where he does not know his coworkers yet.

All those circumstances lets see how you fair in your jobs and how quick you would adjust. 7 games people, 7 games.

Athletes aren't robots despite marketing suggesting otherwise.

Lol can’t wait to bump this thread at the end of the season. Why is everyone here so reactionary?

Don't tell me, show me the data to back this up.

Because someone wants to mislead people by only showing a small portion of the data, make an absurd claim, and act like they know what they're talking about or just get others to react similarly for amusement's sake. Karlsson has done his job very well here in San Jose and they're pretty much at the top of the division in part because of his contributions. The Sharks are going to start seeing better results with the way they're playing. Anyone watching these games or even just looking at their numbers will see that.

 

[Tavares to Marner]

What a load of garbage

Glad we have a superior player in Jake Gardiner

 

[Agent Zub]

Sharks are a possession team and Karlsson is a counter-attacking transition player.

Karlsson is still going to be effective, but just not as effective as he was in Ottawa.

Lol what Karlsson is probably one of the best possession players in the league.

 

[SabresSharks]

Can someone explain why Vlasic suddenly decided he was going to run the offence, while being paired with #65?

How does that make any sense?

Ask Vlasic. It makes zero sense.

 

[Agent Zub]

Hall doesn't haunt us

I swear non-Oiler fans are more obsessed/upset about that trade to this day than actual Oiler fans.

Really ? It should haunt you.

Oilers would be insane with Hall.

 

[Skolman]

Really ? It should haunt you.

Oilers would be insane with Hall.

There's people who honestly don't understand the Hall situation, and just assume he would make the exact same impact in Edmonton as he is in Jersey.

There was more to this trade than just flipping Hall because we needed help on the backend.

That's why there is ONLY 5 pts in 10 gp. Lol

In my franchise hockey manager 5 game he signed a 6 year deal with the Islanders.

I wonder if the real EK65 has his heart set somewhere

Looks like he's just having an ugly run of bad luck. This thread is much ado about nothing. Even the best defenseman in hockey has bad luck once in awhile.

No, NO, NO!!! You're doing it wrong.

Sharks got damaged goods. Karlsson's done. He's playing on one leg. Was always overrated. Could never play defence. Hates San Jose. Hates the Sharks. Pining for Tampa. Misses Ottawa.

Loves skating on the Rideau Canal.

Welcome to planet Earth, please enjoy your stay.

 

[maacoshark]

Half his heel gone, gone to new team in an uncomfortable situation, dealt with losing a child and his spouse being cyber bullied.

I’m sure he’ll find his groove soon enough. He’s literally one of a handful of players in today’s that is too good to not succeed.

Oh the drama.

 

[maacoshark]

Lmao at the excuses for Karlsson. He isnt playing well right now. End of story. Maybe he will turn it around, maybe he won't.

Him not playing at his best does not mean he's not playing well. He's absolutely playing well.
