Saying the same thing over and over doesn't make it true. Watch the games instead of relying on advance stats, you'll be a smarter fan for it.
I do both
I use the stats because there's no other way getting over huge egos and biases.
Now, aren't you even a bit curious. I guess not. You watch the games, you have all the answers. The all omniscient hockey fan who can see a player is better than another even though his GA60 is 1.00 higher than the other guy in the same situation. Pure genius.
No wonder Bergevin is still in charge with such illuminated fans such as yourself.
I repeat over and over because it's the truth. I've posted those stats before. Pardon me. MANY have posted those stats before. I'm tired of having to do it every 2-3 months because yet another know-it-all fan keeps believing he has the "right" answer when facts clearly show he doesn't know diddly squat what he's talking about. Not my fault you have this mindloop where you can't even stop yourself, inhibit your ego a bit, and ask yourself, maybe I might be wrong?
That's what happened to me when I first heard someone say Chiarot was better than Mete. I had watched both enough to know better, but I wondered, might I be wrong? So I checked the stats and wow, I wasn't wrong at all. The difference is night and day. Best LD we had in the last 3 seasons was Mete last season AINEC.
Now, Chiarot might have a bit worst circumstances with Price signing off on a lot of nights, but that alone can't explain a +1 GA60. Plus considering the fact Mete is barely 22 and could hold his own on the first pairing at 20-21, guess who you should be looking for towards the future?
