LTC123 Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Just noticed a thing or two while watching the playoffs: the importance of an A+ player. Team 1 ices 5 players: A+, B+, B+, B, C Team 2 ices 5 players: A-, A-, A, B+, B Even though team 2 has, on the ice, better players than team 1, that one A+ player can instantly change a game and a series. Didn't Vegas give a few A's and B+'s to get their A+? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allegend Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 NHL teams have 18 skaters, not 5. In a single game, with only 5 players on a team, Team 1 could win, but in a series, I would bet on Team 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't Vegas give a few A's and B+'s to get their A+? Each team has a B which cancel out. Each team has a B+ that cancel out. Which means it comes down to: Team 1: A+, B+, C Team 2: A-, A-, A Comparing Team 2 to Team 1: A- is 2 steps lower than A+. A- is 1 step higher than B+. A is 5 steps higher than C. So Team 2 = (-2+1+5) = +4 over Team 1. Team 2 wins. Any questions? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strawbone Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Letter grades are out, man. You gotta rank players as emerging, developing, proficient and extending now. Do the Canucks have 4 extending players? I'd say so. Maybe 10 proficient, and 5 developing? I do not like this new system. I used to earn my A+ grades at school, and to be lumped in as "extending" with all the morons who only got A- grades would have been pretty upsetting! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Vintage Canuck- Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 It’s important to remember that hockey is a team sport, and success relies on the collective effort and synergy of all players on the ice. While an A+ player can have a significant impact, the dynamics of the team, coaching strategies, and other factors also play crucial roles in achieving success in the playoffs and beyond. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's something beyond the playoffs? How do you get invited to watch that hockey? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
