Must win tonight?

Especially with Cow town getting the full 2 points last night. I say a hard yes!

Even on the xGA/60?
Correct, it measures impact, not totals, so having an xGA/60 above the line would mean that the player impacts the number positively compared to the NHL average I'd assume? Or maybe average of players with comparable usage? So higher positive impact would mean lower xGA, which can be a little counter intuitive.

I'm fully expecting to be corrected on some things here but that's a simple rundown of it.

What @KingBogo and i have going here is the anti tank thread.:nod:
Yep, I'm the farthest thing away from a tanker as are you. Sports are about cheering for your team not against them. We are still in a good position as long as we win our share of games down the stretch. Minny is hardly this monster obstacle if we play as we can. I'm starting to feel it for tonight :nod:

Ya i'm the same, i understand people wanting a higher draft pick but i just can't wish for losses when we are in the hunt for a playoff spot. Just get in and you never know what can happen especially with a hot Helly.

Much like having a short stack in a poker tournament, the value of having that ticket to the dance is far more than it appears to be. LA winning from the 8th seed / 15th overall? Anything's possible. If Hellebuyck is at the top of his game and high-rolls for a stretch? Why not.

What's the alternative -- wait until you're a huge lock to win the cup before you hope they win? That's never gonna happen. Every single team, every year, is almost certainly not going to win the cup. Even a prohibitive favorite like Boston is only getting like +400.

There's still a fifth of the season to go and everything to play for. It's just getting interesting.

Or to paraphrase Grand Moff Tarkin: "Tank now? In our moment of triumph? You appear to overestimate their chances!"

PS another amazing thread @macmaroon

PS if you're like me and you struggled for the longest time to keep straight which was the city and which was the state between "Minnesota" and "Minneapolis", remember to focus on the '-polis' (= 'city', as in 'metropolis', 'megalopolis') and you'll never struggle again :)

Is this one the real test? Time to play for real? Cuz it's been feeling like last March again in terms of outcomes.

I'm at the game again tonight and have 4 more yet to attend. I'm not having fun anymore.
