<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BuFfaLOFaN</b></div><div>It does matter if your create chances, because if I'm shooting on your goalie I doubt ur shooting on mine. I agree though that stats aren't always the way to go.</div></div>

Hockey is a back and forth game. you can be createing as many chances as you want, but if you arent finishing, then they dont matter.
You could keep me hemmed in my zone for 2 mins by creating a ton of chances, but never finish. I could go on a breakaway on the same shift and score.

goals>chances created

He never wanted to be traded. Go check some EK65 interviews from 2018. He wanted to be a Sen for life

Is literally best friends with Matthews and Hyman. Was a big reason as to why Tavares came to Toronto (to play with a good playmaker/hockey iq guy). LITERALLY GOT COMPLIMENTED ON HOW SMART HE IS BY JON COOPER.

“doesn't even try” but is a top three 2 way player on his team. started throwing the body in the playoffs. blocks shots without caring about getting one in the face, just says “that’s what dentists are for.” was still top 20 in scoring this year and he only played like 59 games. (67 points)

“i don’t care if he gets points” but your argument to everything else is “offense >>>>>>> defense” open your eyes. marner does both. pick an arguement and stick to it bud.</div></div>

He looks lazy, he wanted big bucks, but hes not worth them. hes like a little girl on the ice. Too scared to go in corners. Hes not worth 10.8. He never will be

I would go as far as top 5, I think there are definitely 10 defensemen better than him (you can see them on my top 20 defenseman list), but he has a solid arguement for 11-20

last time I checked, Laine is the elite sniper who scored 30 goals on a down year
Marner only gets a bunch of assists playing with great goal scorers like Matthews and Tavares

Thread: top 10 centre

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Timmah007</b></div><div>I just don’t agree with eichel. To me he’s around 15-20. Barkov is super elite defensively I can respect including him but Eichel hasn’t accomplished anything I think as deserving. No playoff games no individual awards nothing as of yet really stands out. Elite centre yes top ten not yet in my opinion. If use the bad team argument that’s somewhat fair but they have a trophy that’s normally designed for these cases called the hart. Hall won it with jersey so eichel should be able to stand out enough to win it with buffalo. That’s just my person view don’t expect much to agree.</div></div>

Eichel was in the Hart convo this year. If he was on any team other than Buffalo, Ottawa or Detroit, people would see him as a superstar

Does it really matter how many chances you create if you arent capitalizing on them?

Sure its good to make predictions and stuff, but using #fancystats to see who was the better play on a stat that does show how good you were is trash

Thread: top 10 defensemen

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Campabee</b></div><div>+/- is a very skewed stat a player can be on the bench for 90% of a play then step on as a goal is scored having absolutely no influence on the play and it counts as a plus for him if his team scores or a minus if the other team scores. Using +/- to support your arguement of who is the best defenseman is like using goals scored as an argument for who is the best goalie.</div></div>

Its helpful to determine impact
If you have a + you had a positive impact
But if you were a - then you had a negative impact

"Only a +6" while being on a bottom 5 team is pretty dang good...</div></div>

Bergeron is still a Selke candidate

Kopitar wasnt nominated this year

Bergeron has 4 Selkes. Kopitar has 2

4>2

Fleury has 3 cups and is top 6 in wins
Binnigton had one bad series (every goalie has rough patches) You might be forgetting what he did in last year's playoffs
Bishop was injured in the playoffs. If you dont know that, then you are the casual
