So, my full sample of playoff games is deceptive, but your smaller portion of that sample isn't? Who is the one that is deceptively cherry picking stats to try and make their argument?
What are you talking about? Binnington has eight games of play against the Avs in the playoffs. Those are the games I provided a screenshot above and have been discussing. A seven game sample size (plus three shots against in an eighth game) is a tiny sample size. That's why I took a look at the games individually.
My argument has been and remains Binnington is a mixed bag against the Avs in the playoffs and I can find as many bad games as good. It's really simple.The 2 options are either, Binnington as a whole has played the Avs well in the playoffs, or that playoff stats should always be taken with a grain of salt because of small samples, which also invalidates your argument.
I know you want to look at the numbers in aggregate because it allows you to throw out the bad games whole cloth, but with a sample size of seven it's completely fair to look at all games individually. If we were talking about hundreds of games I agree that would be cheery picking, but it's not.
Looking at the individual games against one specific opponent is a dumb argument? How so? It's literally all we have to go on.Either way, for all of the arguments you could make against Binnington, you are choosing one of the dumbest.
