Around the NHL 11 - 2023/24

[AlphaLackey]

Yeah I was honestly surprised at a lot of the reaction to his defense on twitter. I get the NHL is pretty hypocritical about gambling

That said... when you work for a billion dollar corporation and you use work information to help a friend prop up his credibility for his business? Those are just basic ethics rules at any bigger company.

One of the first lessons they taught us as casino dealers — it’s not enough to merely *be* honest, we must always also appear honest. It would seem this is a lesson that Marek never learned.

I actually really like the left one

The one on the right looks like the pile of clothes in my laundry room. Maybe I can be an artist as well... Probably not, I'll just stick to creating GDT's...

Your GDT's are art.

 

[Eyeseeing]

Your GDT's are art.

Art is in the eyes of the beholder, this proves Trouba is legally blind.
Mind you probably tons of dumb arty types like this crap

I drew this this afternoon, I think I nailed it

Don't know or care anything about Jacob's art. But Mac's art I appreciate.

They're more than that.. they are fine art or as we say in the art world f'art

I thought the Tampa fans were very upset about letting Stamkos go ... looks like they are happy he's gone according to this poll..
Weird the Edmonton moves over the summer had the fans thinking they are winning the SC next year.

 

[SUX2BU]

And I will call it "Napkin on the floor"

 

[robertocarlos]

I actually really like the left one

The alien in the top right corner did it for me. I'd buy it if I had the money.

 

[Guardian17]

 

[FlappyGiraffe]

I like the sound of that, beats passing the puck around the perimeter for 2 minutes looking for the perfect 1 timer

 

[WolfHouse]

PP coaches can say whatever they want... still need Scheif to buy-in

 

[gojetsgo]

pp went like 2 for 29 or something without scheifele and one of the goals was when varlamov lost his skate blade lol, but yes it sucked because scheifele didn't buy in...

 

[Buffdog]

It's obvious that Schief doesn't buy-in on 5v5 defensive play, but to imply he's the problem on the PP is a huge stretch to say the least

I'd love to hear/see some examples of why you think that's the case

Surprised Buffalo isn’t in last place.

Scheif should be our bumper - we've seen him succeed there

But powerplay inevitably moves to him at halfwall not moving looking for perfect pass

He needs to move - he plays a finesse game that doesn't work anymore

Scheifele took 169 faceoff on the PP last season, the 24th most in the NHL.

Of the top 24, Scheifele is the only one with a losing faceoff record on the PP.

Of those top 24, a good number of them are averaging well over 60% on the PP. The average of all those above Scheifele totals 59%. Scheifele is just 48.5%.

For Davis Payne's system to work, the Jets need to start with the puck rather than beginning from the Jets own blue line after yet another iced puck.

Face-off success doesn't just rely on the C, but also on the wingers being aggressive and strong enough to win 50-50 draws. I think the Jets' PP1 has been weak at that. With the Jets Monahan was just over 50% (+2) on PP face-offs, so not really much better than Scheifele. With the Habs Monahan was 55% on PP face-offs.

I think the Jets' forwards need to be much more aggressive to win the scramble draws on the PP.

Jesus this is depressing. He's our golden child.

 

[Eyeseeing]

I’m waiting for someone to say face offs are not statistically significant
Oh wait
I’m a believer that they are and can make a difference

Ah yes the insane Scheif defences start... it's connor and vilardis fault...

Would be interesting to see Monohans stats
