GDT: #24 - 11/24/18 | capitals @ RANGERS | 2:00 - MSG, NHLN

[Good Intentions]

Howden - perfect distribution out of the midfield.

 

[haohmaru]

Considering everyone agreed with him but you, I'd say it did.

That happens a lot with his arguments.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Howden at 20>>>Stepan at 20.

 

[bl02]

Vrana cuts to the net: beautiful goal

Vesey buts to the net: knocked off his skates fails miserably

It was a good effort and right now he is doing to help this team in other ways. On the tying goal he helped by throwing his body around to create some chaos in the offensive zone.

 

[NYR]

+/- doesn't tell the whole story. And using the best player in the game is probably the best way to prove that, yes.

It doesn't tell the whole story just the same as AS..Agreed?
I will disagree over using certain players though at this point in the season.
We're only 24 games into the season and as far as numbers go, they're extremely clear..

 

[Matt Rentfree]

I don’t want to trade him. I really like Skjei, but he deserves some of the criticism he’s been getting. One goal does not completely absolve him of his mistakes.

Of course not - I was being sarcastic and the post was meant for the "He sucks" "Trade him now" crowd.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Howden at 20>>>Stepan at 20.

Howden is just straight up more physically gifted

 

[FireGerardGallant]

Teams play in units of 5 even more so in today's game so if you're a minus on a regular basis (ZIB -6!!), it's a problem and something can't be ignored..

No it doesn't because plus minus is a bad stat. You can be a good player with a bad plus minus

 

[CasusBelli]

RANGZ

What does that mean? Maybe I’m getting old at 30 haha.

 

[Tob]

You just love to go to extremes to try and make a point simply because that's the only way you can continue a POS of an argument.
It never works!!

Using Ovechkin to prove a point is using an extreme? Because he's a good player? You can't get past the fact that he's a good player and can't actually think about the actual point we're talking about.

 

[will1066]

Just got back to the hotel, right after Strome's goal

 

[Rempe73]

True, it's a good barometer to detect people that are clueless about hockey.

Clueless about hockey? What if someone uses +/-, advanced metrics, and the eye test combined? Of course you can’t just use +/- by itself. It never tells the whole story. But what stat does?

 

[NYR]

Considering everyone agreed with him but you, I'd say it did.

Oh..You mean the stat people?
Yeah, that makes for a valid argument lol.
Just let it go man.
I've smacked around the biggest stat freaks this board has to offer already so let's agree to disagree.
K? Thanks

 

[bl02]

Boy was I wrong to date being most excited about Hajek. Casey Affleck I mean Brett Howden is the real deal.

 

[Matt Rentfree]

Chytil still needs to learn that those moves that worked for him in Hartford aren't going to fly in the NHL.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Smith has such a weak shot

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

I am not really happy with their neutral zone play today. Their entry plays have been so-so. But most concerned about breakouts and exit plays without ADA.

 

[NYR]

No it doesn't because plus minus is a bad stat. You can be a good player with a bad plus minus

OK fine..You win

 

[bl02]

Did Sam not hear the ping on that one from Strome?

 

[EdJovanovski]

Howden & Strome have some chemistry

 

[Tob]

Did Sam not hear the ping on that one from Strome?

hearing is the first to go

 

[effen]

What does that mean? Maybe I’m getting old at 30 haha.

Rings :p

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Oh..You mean the stat people?
Yeah, that makes for a valid argument lol.
Just let it go man.
I've smacked around the biggest stat freaks this board has to offer already so let's agree to disagree.
K? Thanks

Smacked around? You're the worst internet debater I've ever witnessed. Your comeback to actual, legitimate arguments is 'well, I don't like that so it sux.'

 

[NYR]

Using Ovechkin to prove a point is using an extreme? Because he's a good player? You can't get past the fact that he's a good player and can't actually think about the actual point we're talking about.

Tob..Pick up a fkn stick already
