Nope, you're making this up. There are lots of stats that reflect poorly on the Islanders that are meaningful. For instance, goal differential is one.
This is also incorrect and you're making things up again, you simply didn't understand what I was saying.
I agree with the first part, disagree with the second. Advanced stats when applied as a team metric are incredibly flawed.
If you say so.
Once again, your defense is literalism. Sorry I didn't pose it in the form of a question, 'is everything that doesn't reflect well on the Islanders meaningless to you?', though you knew perfectly well what I was saying.
As for#2, which is an apt number for it, I understood you perfectly. In the Prospect thread, #194, dated Jan 31, your quote:
"I don't know enough about the pipelines of other teams to comment.
Would I blindly swap prospect pools with other organizations without actually watching the prospects myself? No, absolutely not.
The rankings are quite literally meaningless. There is nothing that happens to them if they're wrong or right, they have no impact on what the NHL teams do. It's fan fodder and nothing more. Dom Luczyzzadfnadfdfn posts a model every year with his predictions, does that make it meaningful in some way? Absolutely not."
If people care to read more to see where you ultimately backtrack on everything bolded above, they just need to go back to that thread, but why in god's name would they? As for your assertion that I didn't understand what you were saying, we'll let others judge for themselves. Your words are right there.
Beyond the substance though, it has become clear, and I don't know why I didn't see this earlier, that your agenda is to goad people with whom you have strong disagreements by essentially calling them liars ("making things up") despite evidence to the contrary in the hope that they will respond with something for which they can be banned. It's pretty pathetic behavior.
