[BNHL]

Bruins are averaging 24.7 hits per game,last year 24.5.

Perhaps the most subjective stat in hockey.

 

[BNHL]

Perhaps the most subjective stat in hockey.

Same people making the same calls last year and this year.

Perhaps the most subjective stat in hockey.

The eye test works better here, indeed.

 

[Kate08]

Same people making the same calls last year and this year.

And it was just as subjective last year.

I'm not saying that it's a mark of improvement or decline, I'm saying the stat isn't reliable as it's 100% subjective.

 

[qc]

From my experience, I'd discourage mentioning the near-irrelevance of the hit statistic to my pal BNHL

 

[Absurdity]

What has gotten into Krejci??

 

[Gee Wally]

What has gotten into Krejci??

They read. The players and their families.

Holy **** he sounds like a PMS-ing teenage girl.

 

[Kate08]

I understand that and I'm sure they do, but his comments don't even make sense. At least around here, the success of the team has hinged on his return. What's with the "no one watches, no one cares if I play well" thing?

Just doesn't add up to me?

 

[Hali33]

Huh.

The funny thing is I don't even think we've gotten started on Krejci. Most of the talk has really been how much the B's are missing him.

15-20 games from now those comments will probably make sense

Keep the source in mind, please.

I'd love to know what question was asked to prompt this answer..

 

[BsEuphoria]

Holy **** he sounds like a PMS-ing teenage girl.

It's called team playing like $%$# for most of the season now and it's wearing on them.

 

[ashnathan]

Poor krech, i think hes played well considering..setting up chances, his first few shifts on his first game back he set up like 2 solid chances going forward, whos ragging on him?

 

[Alicat]

Keep the source in mind, please.

He definitely got baited which is sad

 

[Kate08]

Keep the source in mind, please.

It's a quote, so he said it. What would be interesting to know would be the context, rest of the answer, and what the question was that prompted that response.

I would like to know that as well. IMO Krejci isn't a whiner but he certainly comes off like one here.

The constant is the scorers so if the same people are scoring, it would seem that the scorekeeping would be consistent. Whether you think they hit less or not,the same scorers say no.

Believe me,I've seen players throw hits and never get credit but rarely see credit for no hit.

 

[BMC]

If they are managing 20+ hits a game they sure are doing it quietly.

 

[Shoebottom]

Krejci must reading TSN's comments section or Haggerty's input

 

[BMC]

They read. The players and their families.

For his sake I hope Loui Eriksson doesn't.

 

[Alicat]

Krejci must reading TSN's comments section or Haggerty's input

The sad thing is that Krejci's going to get unfairly roasted now for these answers. He's not a complainer so these quotes don't make any sense.

I don't see much difference.
