Re: Does anybody not want Babcock?

I'm certainly in the pro-Babcock group. I thought it was a pipe dream a few weeks ago and still think its very unlikely but yes, I'd be very happy if he picks the Blues tomorrow. As for Hitch, I've been of the mind that he's probably better than all of the non-Babcock options, however I do think it...

Re: Cheating in sports

I don't recall any specific allegations, but haven't there been whispers about bigger, slower less skilled teams taking measures to keep the ice softer and choppier, therefore limiting the advantage of faster more skilled teams? To me that kind of stuff isn't a huge deal. In baseball, this would be ...

Re: Vent as needed

The day after here's where I'm at. I don't know what changes are coming, but will be glad when they get here. I said in another thread that I've enjoyed watching this group the last few years, and that's still true, but the clock has struck midnight. There was something different about the heartbrea...

Re: "Knuckles vs. Numbers" Video

interesting. i can see their point of view - people like me (and unfortunately melrose) saying how having that guy out there opens up space, gives the others confidence to play their game, stops the other team from taking liberties, etc., should theoretically have a corresponding effect on the numb...

Re: 5v5 CF% Is Bad, Right?

Haha, I think you might be giving me too much credit for my statistical knowledge, but everything you've said in your last two replies makes sense to me if you're trying to find a predictive statistic. You bring up PDO, and I wonder what your opinion of it is. I hear it get used a lot to describe ho...

Re: 5v5 CF% Is Bad, Right?

I didn't mean to be overly cryptic. Bottom line, one of the gold-standard "advanced stats" does a terrible job of predicting winning in the regular season. Many examples by team, "low" Corsi and lots of points (Montreal and Rangers). "High" corsi and not many points (C...

Re: So what do you do with Elliott now?

I think that even if Allen goes into next year as the number 1, Elliott sticks around and gets a lot of work. Even if Allen is great and has a deep, shut down run in the playoffs (knock on wood), I don't think they're going to want to give him more than 50-55 starts next year. This staff seems to l...

Re: Your Three Keys to Victory

1.) Blues PP vs. Wild's top ranked PK. 2.) Blues zone exits. Clearly going for transition game with Gunner in over Bort, hopefully the puckmoving vs. toughness tradeoff pays off. 3.) Allen's nerves- Hopefully he keeps the strong play going and isn't worried about a quick hook if he slips up. Why isn...
