Hoping Miller has one of those games where you’re uncomfortable making eye contact with him through the TV but puts up 3 points.

Let’s be defensively responsible first. Individual points don’t impress many of us, playing the right way does.

I expect Miller to come out with a big game. He needs to start backing up his attitude.

Would much rather have Edler at 750k despite his slow speed over OEL.

Uh, you know the team with the most points wins? They do impress some of us. This teams' strength is to outscore the other team..we've seen what happens when they focus on not being scored on...they play tentative and give teams too much room. Sure, they both matter but playing the right way also means going on the attack and trying for those unimpressive points.

Or Tanev. Not sure why JB didn't keep them. It's not like QH alone can replace them.  OEL contract is just bad, unless he can revive his play like Karlsson in the coming yrs.

Calgary put a lot of pucks on net.

Need to have a tight team defense and work the transitions.

 

Play with speed and get them backing up. 

 

Go Nucks.

 

[Gurn]

Meh- I'd rather have Mc David at $1 mill per- but that, just like the Edler and Tanev wishes, is unrealistic.

Will they start 2023 above .500, or below?  

 

 

Can you make the questions a bit easier please?

[King Heffy]

Hopefully we get the Johns; it's a pain to try to sync the game with 650 and it never turns out perfect, but it's still better than listening to Singh disgrace the country with his refusal to conduct himself like a professional.

I never look at models for the full answer. When looking at their methodology a few things stand out:

 

 

 

The Canucks have been awful at home most of the season but have been great on the road. This would seem to be ignored by the model if it focuses on home games only.

 

The model and the power rankings both use the win prediction model. In the latest one they have San Jose at #18 and Pittsburgh at 19 way below Buffalo who are 8 points back.

 

 

 

 

 

Gradient boosting? Logistic regression? Interesting.

Well no one complained about Bure went he scored a bazillion goals and hang around the blue line waiting for the puck.

[Dr. Crossbar]

Hoping Miller has a banger of a game tonight.

Here is the painting of a landscape
But the artist who painted that picture says
- Something is missing. What is it?
It is I myself who was a part of the landscape I painted
So he mentally takes a step backward
- or 'regresses' -- and paints...a picture of the artist painting
A picture of the landscape
And still something is missing. And that
Something is still his real self
Painting the second picture. So he
'regresses' further and paints a third...

 

a picture of the artist painting a
Picture of the artist painting a
Picture of the landscape. And because
Something is still missing, he paints a
Fourth and fifth picture...

...until there is a picture of
The artist painting a picture of the
Artist painting a picture of the
Artist painting a picture of the
Artist painting the landscape

So infinite regression is--

--It is the moment when our artist
Having regressed to the point of
Infinity, himself becomes a part
Of the picture he has painted and
Is both the Observer and the observed

Well, in that peculiar condition
What would he be observing if he were observing
Time?

He would perceive, Mr. Bonds, that Time is like
A freeway with an infinite number of
'lanes' -- all leading from the past
Into the future. But not into the
Same future. A driver in Lane 'A'
May crash, while a driver in Lane 'B'
Survives. It follows that a driver
By changing lanes, can change his
Future

Mr. Bonds, i think that time can
Fully be understood by an observer
With the Godlike gift of infinite
Regression

Look at Brock, flying out there! Go BB6!

 

He likes to Hussle hard in practice so he can rest during the games.

Good. Keep it close boys! Don't wanna see any of those 3 goal leads ruin our chances of winning!

[Nuxfanabroad]

To bid adieu to '22, howz'bout #2, Schenner, laying an utterly epic, brutal, Slavkoskian-crunch on sneaky, lil Kadri?! All in for that.

Could still play in our top pairing. 

Funny, he basically was chased out of here for being useless, that was 3 years ago…

I think I’m a tank fan now, says we have 0% chance to win the cup.

It also says Edmonton has a better shoylt at winning the cup than Pittsburgh so, LOL.
