Primal Optimist Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 The number of finished series reminded me of why i used the hard to describe formula to make each of the 7 games cover many nights of real time. What we see happening here above is the usually rolling graph look of a two week total points playoff series, like we currently use, being chopped up into moments in time (or rather digitalized into wins and losses). It adds some unpredictability to a linear race to the most points, but the format I started off using does so in a more noticeable way that extends series rather than definatively declare a blowout is over after 4 games. Where each of our 'games' could be up to 3 nights of real time data using my original 'wacky' way of making game days acted as a buffer to delink or add further randomization to the game results in a best of seven. You will find upon scrutiny that each series that is over in the best of seven tracking is also for all intense and purposes "over" in our current system by virtue of a blowout. Sort of wish i kept tracking it to show the subtle differences...last year there were very few 4 game sweeps, which was the objective of a possible change: to add interest for a longer time frame. Okay nuff said, because in the end, the system I was using was impossible to explain to 29 people in any good concise way, and with 3 new gm's every year on average, it would be frustrating to explain over and over. In short it would have eliminated most of these 4 game sweeps while still resulting in the vast majority of the highest point earners over two weeks winning their series. Hope that explains it well enough, my thoughts on it at the time over a year ago that I thought it up...i forgot to try to explain 'why' i did that at the time....meh, don't care so much but wanted to try to get it off the tip of my tongue.

Primal Optimist Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 yeah, heh. I have lost the ability to be clear and concise since dad passed away last month, and I wasn't good at it to begin with, but i am glad you see what i meant. haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Wow, Conacher, Adams misconducts and Letang and Conacher both with big nights, wonder how the BOS-BUF series is going to look after tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theminister Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Did anyone hear anything in MG's presser today that equalled a ringing endorsement for the Sedins? I did not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Vanderhoek Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Well I think Buffalo takes it. It was nice to see Boston's GM actually promote Jannik Hansen to the Playoff roster this year, of course he did nothing though...but still good to see Hansen make the Bruins Playoff roster nonetheless. Buffalo's players are too clutch for Boston in the end....and yeah the Bruins GM kinda sucks..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lethunder Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Thankfully my team has come up with a huge night tonight. It should put us only a few points back of Boston and bring this series back to a nail biter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuck2xtreme Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 RUMOUR: The Jets may still be in the playoffs, but that hasn't stopped the Jets GM from talking trade. Apparently GM canuck2xtreme has completed the roster overview of players not competing in the playoffs and is looking at many options, including potential deals that might shake up the teams core. Interested GMs should inquire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Saad and Toews finally on the scoresheet! Solid 50+ point night, led by the stellar play from Corey Crawford once again who is the league leader in GAA and SV% in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theminister Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Vokoun with the shutout tonight! Once Boston beats Toronto the Isles will have a 50/50 shot at having a goalie in the SCF. I'll take it. Now we just have to get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theminister Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 No, I did not either. I sure didn't like hearing the ringing endorsement of AV though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddhas Hand Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I read it a different way. If MG says anything negative about the coach he will have darned hard time attracting a new one to that environment. The Sedins he may want to push out and have them ask to leave.

Primal Optimist Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 So many other things to do with two individuals who are in the top 20 of current players in the league other than squeeze them out. Everytime I suggest it i get laughed at but if a line that is 2/3rds "soft Euro" gets pushed around too much, why not split the twins..suggested several times over the past two years and each time I just get scorned. If you have a Sedin on each of your top two lines..what is wrong with that? And the old argument of 'only a fool would split the twins' clearly doesn't hold water anymore in playoff hockey. It is very easy to defend against one line of two Sedins and third player, obviously, but it would not be so easy to defend against two lines each containing a Sedin. I won't go on about it, i have beaten the idea to a pulp in 2012, and a bit back in February too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theminister Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 This will be a new low for this franchise if this happens , the canucks all time leading scorers who have taken paycuts to stay with this team and who as men are also 2 of the best role models in the NHL . What ever happened to the handshake , whatever happened to a deal no one would break , WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO INTEGRITY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
