  1. Yeah, I can't believe he's "75% sure he wants to play" and is considering anything other than retiring having worn only "one" jersey.

    I hope Gillis pursues him extremely hard.

  2. I'm sure a mod'll remove this link from the Halak thread, so enjoy:

  3. Hah, yes I must be loved by all those swayed by semi large post counts. You should see BedBeats' rep... Crazy!

  4. Good read but I don't understand why they'd calculate a players' pt totals according to powerplay icetime being 2.5x more likely to produce a goal than EV strength and sh icetime 0.4x as likely to produce a goal. They ought to just split it up into the three categories rather than lumping it into one. Other than that, great book! Thx again... Cheers!

  5. Picked up Hockeynomics today BB. Thanks for the tip!

  6. Long time no see, where have you been? Simply avoiding the cluster that Canucks Talk is?

  7. Btw, there's a neat "who's deserving of the Selke" breakdown between Kesler, Staal & Datsyuk on behindthenet and Datsyuk comes out on top, yet AGAIN.

  8. Not surprised in the least. I'm sure that Gillman weighs heavily on that guy when he does his year end league wide player value report. They played a huge part in determining that Kesler is indeed good value at $5m (my basic math had him at $4.5m w/ $5m MAX).

  9. Yeah, I love numbers but I do understand how they can get skewed. Nonetheless, stats a good starting point in gauging a player's worth.

  10. Thanks for the heads up! I've got a Chapters two blocks away. Hockey sabremetrics eh? Is Mike Smith mentioned?

  11. Nope. Sounds interesting though. What's the deal with it?

  12. To answer your status joe, they have a whole with Joe Corvo's departure and they've shown considerable interest in Bieksa several times. Bieksa & our 25th ought to get it done.

  13. Mega, you have no E-friends... What's wrong with you homes?

  14. Sharma, what's with you creepin' my profile all silently?! Leave a message, brah.

    Cheers Shwarma!

  15. I could be wrong here but I'm pretty sure a dead bolt is far thicker and more dense than a rusty nail. However, watching him struggle to formulate a coherent argument was definitely akin to watching him drive a rusty nail into his brain.

    I'm fairly certain I'm safe from his fetish contagion though. Fairly. Hopefully I won't be getting any sudden urges to scream, ...

  16. E-Friend HOARDER!!

  17. I never noticed how to add friends, hence why I had none lol

  18. Nah, I've yet to receive such courtesy but nothing would put an exclamation mark on the epitome of class like that would. The guy was stalking my every post and I was going to start looking into an e-straining order lol.

  19. The dou.. errr, guy deserved it. Talk about an inability to control emotions. I can't believe that guy is older than me! Embarrassing...

  20. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is an ugly beast. Honestly? I think he's truly neurotic in it's fullest sense.

  21. 'Sup Homes. Yo, chyou no ordinary Vato, Homes. Keepin CDC habitable since '03...

  22. How about we just temper the Hall of Famer comparisons for a decade or so and see how she goes, m'kay? Thanks. He's a speedy, shifty, undersized but with underestimated strength, playmaking forward with a tremendously accurate wrist shot. Think Tomas Plekanic for now with the physical build of a Theo Fleury.
  23. I say we develop Schroeder and Hodgson like Jiri Hudler. Until Hodgson/Schroeder show Hudler's 2005/2006 point per game stats at the AHL level they have yet to prove they are ready for full time NHL duty on an NHL Stanley Cup contender, imo. Enough with the rushing our prospects ala Raymond. I'd rather pay stop gap NHLers (hello Wellwood) to fill voids via free agency than ruining our prospects' confidence by bringing them up prematurely. If we were a sh!t team like Chicago, Washington & Pittsburgh were a few years ago it would be a different story but we're not a sh!t team that's lacking offense. We were 2nd in the league in goals for...
