In 20 games, Schmaltz has the worst relative corsi% of any Blues defenseman. I know not everyone is on board with the advanced stats, but when you're worse in that category than Bouwmeester, who couldn't skate for the first third of the season, it says something. I also think Schmaltz's scratch has to do with Butler playing exceedingly right now. Butler has been one of the few feel good stories for the team, so I fully expect him to break his leg tonight.

Didn't know about any of his advanced stats, should have checked.Dave's a mess wrote: Tue Dec 18, 2018 12:57 pmIn 20 games, Schmaltz has the worst relative corsi% of any Blues defenseman.

I'm at the point where if I watch the game, I want them to win, but if I don't, I want them to lose. I hate that.
Nah, I think not knowing the individual advanced stats for this team is the healthy alternative.wannabebluesplayer wrote: Tue Dec 18, 2018 1:07 pmDidn't know about any of his advanced stats, should have checked.Dave's a mess wrote: Tue Dec 18, 2018 12:57 pmIn 20 games, Schmaltz has the worst relative corsi% of any Blues defenseman.

Yeah, the hell with stats. The eyeball test is still there best way to judge a hockey player. Personally, I find Schmaltz to be underwhelming. Very shaky. Maybe in a couple of years, that will change.

Man, Puljujarvi on the 4th line. That kid just looks like he isn't going to make it. Only 27 shots on goal in 23 games. That isn't going to work.Dread_Pirate_Westley wrote: Tue Dec 18, 2018 7:39 pm Ty Rattie in the lineup playing on a line with RNH and and Rieder

I remember 'stretching' to draft him in my fantasy league with the #13 overall pick (first pick of the 2nd round). I also picked Nikolay Goldobin in the second, and Brady Skjei in the early third, thinking I was getting all three of them for a steal.BillP wrote: Tue Dec 18, 2018 7:48 pmMan, Puljujarvi on the 4th line.

Fortunately I was able to draft Austin Matthews at #1 overall, make a trade that landed me Jonathan Huberdeau AND M-A Fleury, and scored on drafting Timo Meier as a 'shot in the dark' in the 4th round, so I guess I didn't do too badly overall.
