Jake calling out deadhead?

[Beef Invictus]

Wrong. The entire objective of hockey is Corsi.

The worst thing to happen to analysis is writers deciding they'll make sweeping judgements using Corsi alone.

You could also stop at “writers.”

Maybe he just really hates Grateful Dead fans

watchit there pal

 

[kudymen]

Is at @kudymen actually Jake?

I wish I had half his ability to grow beard... And made my living playing the game I love... unfortunately, I am just an amateur hockey fan.

 

[Jack Straw]

Not only do I take back everything nice I ever said about you, I also in advance take back everything nice I ever will say about you. You are, well, Dead to me.

One can point out that 4 of the top 6 teams in CF% missed the playoffs, & that the league champion finished 24/31 in CF%, & you’ll still have people haughtily citing the stat like it’s a definitive evaluation metric.

lolololol - so funny that they read hfboards. I will never forget Sarah Baicker talking sh** about us HF'ers; making it seem like we were just a bunch of uneducated morons. Seems some care what ppl have to say though I strongly dislike the idea that deadhead is a representation of this forum to a player

#TeamVoracek

In all fairness, there are very few players I wouldn't side with over deadhead if given the opportunity. If deadhead called out say MacDonald and AMac tweeted the same thing, I might find myself in a #Teamdeadhead situation

Yeah it doesn't even account for quality. That's just the first issue.

If I can ever find it again I will share it. It happened back in like 2012 I think. She called us out on Twitter I believe

Actually I believe we started that one, with a discussion about her haircut.

 

[kudymen]

One of the responses to the deadhead tweet is a guy asking if Jake could ask Kinkaid to unblock him

Hey when you're a TV personality, you're signing on for people to scrutinize you based on your looks. It's an unfortunate side effect of the job

I wouldn't be surprised if he is blocked for a good reason and he has a tendency to randomly ask NHLers to do that.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Yeah, we started that one.

I can see Jake coming to the Devils bench the next time we meet, like "a guy on Twitter told me.. could you unblock him? Good luck today btw"

I'll definitely have her back on that because showing up here to interact was just f***ing fantastic and she was a great sport about it.

Until you people got very creepy. That is why we can't have nice threads.

Who got creepy? I don't recall seeing the HF Board interaction just a tweet she sent out regarding people on HF Boards.

There are people who evaluate games & players as if Corsi is the goal of playing hockey.

Which leads me to my hyperbolic example. Suit up a team of sumo wrestlers with one great faceoff guy. Pin the puck in the offensive zone for eternity. Get a few feeble shots on net. But one mistake & it’s a quick strike goal against on a one-shot quick strike breakaway. What matters more? The scoreboard or Corsi?

 

[Lindberg]

I wonder how much time Jake has/is spending to read his comments. I'm sure it can't just be the game day thread? I think I'm going to start hating on Jake to get a call out just for funsies.

The most recent interaction starts with AMac bashing (I contributed) and then deadhead asking about other veterans getting the blame as well. So, I think it's safe to say AMac is aware at how much sh** is being talked about him on here.

It's replaced +/- as the most grotesquely abused stat

Several people tried to date her
