Did an analysis on who I think should've won the Selke last year (2015-16). Interesting results, as always. I always find my results deviate quite a bit from who actually wins.
1st - P. Bergeron
2nd - J. Thornton
3rd - J. Pavelski
4th - B. Marchand
5th - A. Kopitar
6th - M. Stone
7th - J. Toews
I tested on 35 players, but these are just the top 7.

@Jaku I'm at school at the moment, but I'll try to give more info on how I did it when I get home.

@Jaku Basically, I took a look at a bunch of statistics I consider valuable for defensive forwards, such as face-off percentage, blocked shots, Corsi, Fenwick, +/-, etc. From there, I picked out the top five from every category to get a wide variety of players. From then on, I simply ranked the players in each category compared to each other. At the end of it all, I totaled up the ranks and the players with the lowest total numbers were the highest in the rankings.
It's worth noting that:
a) I was a bit lazy as I went on and disregarded players near the bottom of each category, so being in the bottom third, say, didn't give you an advantage over being completely last place
b ) I did measure players on points-per-game as well as I find that Selke nominees tend to be well-rounded in offense as well.
If you want, I can show screenshots of my spreadsheet as well.

Question for you fellow grammar nazis out there. Does the term "rather" in a question (as in, would you rather...) always imply that there are only two options or could there be more than two options?

@SaintPatrick33 That usage or "rather" is the way I expected it to be. However, what about in the following way:
"Which would you rather do? One, two, or three?"
Is that correct usage of "rather" or would it be better to use a different word there?

Question: If feminism strives for equality between men and women, then what does masculism strive for? The same?

Oh, these 1970's questions that resurface...
Recently I've been pondering this one: Has the changed world of the last two decades(mostly IT-attributable) been more beneficial for the fairer sex? If so, would they openly acknowledge this development?
Almost everything we've created for convenience of living, is now destroying the living planet.
Meanwhile, TPTB sit back, amusingly watching the divided & conquer bicker away.(gender, race, class, political & economic lines are fractured)

Who was that super crazy homer all over on CDC? I haven't seen him in so long, I forget what his username was.

So I'm thinking about doing an updated poll on the Top Canucks of All-Time, similar to the one Champions of Nothing did about 5 years ago. What do people think? Would it be interesting or too similar to the old one?
