Kyrou currently has 46 give aways in 43 games
Thomas had 50 giveaways in 31 games

some people formed a perception of Kyrou as he was breaking into the league and while Kyrou grew and became a better player some people did not grow in their perceptions

It's perception bias. It happens a lot on here. There are a lot of mistakes in a hockey game. Its a fast-paced, back and forth environment. When you expect a player to make mistakes and you are looking for them, you are going to find them. That in turn that is going to reinforce the original perception. When you see things that are not expected, you discount those and forget them.

Its why I believe advanced stats are so important to a good discussion. Perception bias is a huge flaw of the eye-test. Stats are more objective measurement. They are not perfect, either. But when you couple both, they can help overcome the weakness of the other.

I think it has a lot to do with when and how the turn over happens. One that comes to mind is when there were about a minute or so left in the game and we have an empty net, he tried to carry the puck into the Ozone instead of dumping it deep and he lost it stick handling and the other team got an ENG. It's things like that turn over that really burns itself into peoples memories, not his first year or so.

So lets blame the goalie for nor carrying a shit team into the playoffs?

If only our PK wasn't 65% we could make the playoffs
If only our PP wasn't 12% we could make the playoffs
if only our face off % was better
if only

Reminds me of this.

Thomas does the same things though

except that is anecdotal, all players make mistakes, when you expect a certain player to make a mistake it becomes ingrained in how a player is perceived regardless of whether it happens to other players at similar rates
how may times did he NOT turn the puck over in that situation?
