Garbage? Chytil has really strong underlying numbers, he's just got shitty puck luck right now. Chytil is playing really well by just about every metric.

Vinny DeAngelo
Jimmy Easy to defend
Chytil has created chances al over the ice for his linemates... and DeAngelo is as good of a defensive defenseman as anyone else on the squad right now...
It's pointless arguing this. This board has posters that get these love affairs with players who either don't do anything or are lazy. Buchnevich, Chytil, DeAngelo. Before it was J.T. Miller. I don't care because Chytil will be in the minors soon where he belongs. Metric stats are for people who don't understand what they are watching when they view a player. Try looking at production. You are either productive in certain parts of the game that matter or you aren't. Like goals. Assists. Forcing turnovers. Faceoffs. Hits. Blocked shots. You know, the stuff that Chytil doesn't do at all at this moment.
One of the dumbest stats in hockey is time of possession. This team over the years should prove that. The countless amounts of time they have the puck, cycle forever and do absolutely nothing with the puck is mind boggling.

This reads like you just want to put yourself over as smarter than everyone else in the room. Most people came to the realization long ago that there is more to the game of hockey than what goes on the score sheet. Some people take it too far and ignore normal stats in favor of only looking at metrics. Those people are wrong.
Then you have people like yourself who are wrong because they insist that metrics are nearly useless and that we should pretty much only consider production.
Why don't you consider the possibility that you can look at metrics AND traditional stats?
Is it a reluctance to admit that the way you've done things is flawed when it comes to player analysis?
If you want to be condescending, two can play that game. Metric stats are for people who don't understand what they're watching when it comes to math and numbers. It boggles my mind how anti-intellectual some people are. Some people take metrics too far. But then there are others that refuse to learn anything new. Math is bad and for nerds! It's like High School in a sitcom here. The nerds and the jocks. Except in the real world, it's better to be a nerd, you'll go further.

Okaaaaaay... now back to the Hartford Wolfpack and Maine Mariners, thank you very much.
At 1-3, Maine is tied for 24th out of 27 teams. They're hemorrhaging goals just like Greenville last season, with 18 allowed. Also, whatever firm designed the ECHL site should be nuked. I've said it before and I'll say it again.

I approve of this message!

Absolutely hate it. Could stomach when Ottawa was here, knew some of the guys on the team. A handful actually, spent a couple nights out and about with those boys. They were good shit and could drink. Saw Zbad a couple of times when he was here live. Pro skill for sure.
Haven't even been to a Devils game. Was praying they would send the farm team back here but they will never leave Hartford despite how few tickets they sell. This is a unique hockey market and it has a big time following but the majority of fans here are Rangers fans. Because of location though there are Rangers, Sabers, Pens, Flyers, Devils, Isles (and because of the farm team) Ottawa with all strong fan bases here in that order.
I would have bought season tickets if the Rangers came back here.

re: Chytil, I can't really quite tell if he's just on the cusp of breaking through and needs more games to do so, or if he needs some more AHL time to get his confidence and timing up. The good thing is that the Rangers certainly have options with the Pack to call up if they need to send him down.

It doesn't get much worse than a .250 save percentage. 3 goals on 4 shots is beyond bad.
That Ty Ronning has a ton of skill and quickness. He may be the smallest guy on the ice by a good 3 inches but hes in my top 10 prospects now.

SOG are only 13-10 in favor of HFD, so it's not like they're just pummeling the Phantoms and getting nothing in.

Yea but after they pulled Tokarski and called a timeout the pack started to look a lot better overall. Stinks a lehigh player scored with like 30 seconds left
