Injury Report: Bobrovsky out 3 weeks. UPDATE: activated 1/15 2ND UPDATE: re-injured 1/22

[EspenK]

Technically it's 3 coin flips.

Would our chances go up with teams being removed?

So say the *******s in EDM get 1st again, wouldn't our % go up for getting 2nd since there's one less team?

Yes it goes up each time but I think it depends on who wins #1. if the 2nd worse team wins then I think that the odds of winning #2 are better because more winning numbers are removed form the pot as opposed to if the 14th place team won.

Think of it this way - there is a pot with last place in there 20 times. 2nd place is in 13.5 times and number 14 team is in one time. Total teams in is 100. If team 2 wins then last place team's chances of winning next time are 20 in 86.5. If team #14 wins then chances are 20 out of 99. For third pick same approach.

So for many reasons if we finish last it is better to have #2 win than #14.

I don't believe nay of the cumulative odds that have been mentioned previously are correct because it will all depend on who wins in what order. Not a stats guy by any means but I think this is how it should work.

major? nordique? Bueller?

Good catch.

The probability in the second round should be very close to 20/90. Going into the draft as a whole, the last place team should have a 20/90*80 =(17.5%) chance of getting #2 overall. Third overall is 20/82*(20+17.5) ~(15%)

Sorry I'm too lazy to find the precise denominator, I don't know if it's 90 and then 82, but it should be very close, and the overall % chance of the last place team picking 4th should be just under 50%.

This Bobrovsky character has been ***** for my fantasy team.

I've been doing research lately on ancient and medieval torture devices, not merely for my own amusement but also because I want to use several of them on people who feel a compelling need to interject into a conversation with some useless tidbit about their fantasy hockey team, their fantasy football team, or their unrelenting love of Bernie Sanders.

I wonder if those tortured might.. feel the Bern.

There'll be a place in my staff for you when I take over the world.

Anything more than an old baseball story is definitely off limits.

LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE TIME I HAD TED WILLIAMS HITTING 3RD ON MY FANTASY TEAM AND HE WAS ON ICE FOR A PULLED HAMMY OR SOME OTHER SISSY INJURY (NOT LIKE HE'S ON ICE NOW) DAMN NEAR RUINED MY SEASON.

I am now completely consumed with the desire to see Don Cherry Discussing His Fantasy Baseball Team.

Bob is practicing today with Korpisalo. No Forsberg. Wonder if he's ready (again)

I hope so. I'm in 2nd place and I think a couple of wins and SO's by Sir Bobrovsky would put me in first place.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Bob activated

Hannikainen too.

Forsberg to LEM.

 

[We Want Ten]

Good for hannikainen.

 

[blahblah]

Good for hannikainen.

Indeed.

 

[Privet]

Bobrovsky you're back on the case!

Edit: time for the late season playoff push!

 

[niflheim]

playoff push? Missing hot hugs? We needed this push at the beginning of season. After Joey trade in rebuild mode most right strategy is deep and total tanking. It's not joke as last season, it's question of franchise's survival Matthews is target number 1, not exit in first round.

Reading the Bobrovsky's interview I realized that Russians are planning to use him at the World Championship in May and then at the World Cup. Considering his injury history I hope the Jackets would ban him from going there. That's no-brainer he has to rest his groin this off season or his contract should be terminated if he goes there and injures himself again.

Definitely think he should skip May. Maybe the WC would help him get off to a faster start? But I wouldn't mind seeing him skip both.

Contractually I'm not sure they can "ban" him? Bueller?

 

[KlichkoBro*]

Maybe "ban" is a wrong word, but sounds like if the Jackets asked him not to go he would listen.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

I'd rather have Bob play. He's only been injured in NHL action, not representing his country.

That is a weird way to look at it. If he is susceptible to groin injuries rest would seem to be better than playing anywhere.

Yes, but he's missed alot of time this year. If we're going to be competitive next year we need him sharp. Only way to be sharp is to play.

I don't love the idea of him playing two tournaments before the season, maybe only one.

If i had to chose I'd say the Sept one because it would give more rest and be a jump start on camp.

For Europeans, the WCs are Stanley Cup equivalent so I doubt that the team would suggest that he couldn't play. I also doubt that a standard NHL contract allows for that.

Given where Bob plays, I also think it would be cruel to deny him his only legitimate chance to win anything.

 

[KlichkoBro*]

Also Russia will host the WC. But I still think the front office should ask him to stay away from the tournament.
