CANUCKLELION Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Actually, seeing as +/- only takes into account even strength goals, the team is only +30 in 5 on 5 and 4 on 4 situations (128 - 98). Good point, still +30 is a heady #, and supports my theory that a positive +/- is a team effort in which Bxa has merely been caught up in the wave of good team defense, as he is the only one of the group where seeing a positive +/- on his season is an aberration , not the norm.

AbbyNucksFan Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 it's also an aberration that he hasn't had a major skate cut this year too, but that doesn't matter, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexandre Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I have to express my appreciation to CANUCKLELION. Without his entertaining opposing points this thread would not be as fun to read. Like in a good movie, you should have an interesting antihero to oppose the hero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like in a good movie, you should have an interesting antihero to oppose the hero. Or like in a good comedy, you should have at least one buffoon, slipping on banana peels, stepping on rakes and generally making a fool of himself.....

It's good CANUCKLELION is sticking with his point of view. Have to admire his tenacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Señor Hoff Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 love Bieksa this season... he did screw up in the first goal against the blues though...his man was free right by the net and he was in the high slot for some reaosn i could be wrong...but he looked wwayy out of position.

Contributing to 86.7% of something =/= "caught up" in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other words, the team's success has been a team effort, except for Bieksa? Kinda contradictory, don't ya think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bxa , unfortunately is now injured, with a fracture in his foot, the team has to clear 1.56 mil of cap to allow Oberg to play. I believe Bxa's injury was the rider on our bet. ie. if he was injured he wouldn't be traded at the deadline. Who will be put on LTIR to make the room for Oberg? Hamhuis or Ballard? I doubt it as they are both expected back within the next 2 weeks, Alberts? It won't clear enough space for Oberg, so that leaves Bxa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
