Post-Game Talk: Storm the Weather

[Fitzy]

This is what Sean Avery was supposed to be.

 

[McRanger92]

He just puts what he wants in place and then shurgs his shoulders when it doesn't work.

On one hand, it would be intriguing to see what he can do with high end talent (which he's never had in Carolina) but I also feel like his system is designed for not having high end talent.

The extent of his coaching adjustments is shaking his head when his team gets called for a penalty. Was a bad sign for canes mindset when Svech got called for diving 5 minutes in after staal absurdly called the Rangers out for it the other day. The refs were listening when he showed them up.

I need someone to explain to me how Kreider only had 0.2 xG. In addition to the goal he scored, which itself should be what like 0.75xG, he hit the post on another short handed 2 on 1 and got poked on that breakaway late in the third.

What sense do these stats make?

Thats the thing! They don’t

 

[Do you want ants]

They were sure going bananas after the gtg, i thought it was gonna be a quick bad guys goal in OT. f***ing thrilled to be wrong.

Yeah. They got loud and mouthy in our section after that goal. Made celebrating that win more enjoyable.

I say the same thing when the stats come back with obvious results- a single game is a really bad way to measure these numbers.

Quantification relies on a large N to be reliable. Advanced stats are better the larger the sample size, and so conclusions good or bad from one game are meaningless.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

If the poke check counts as zero that tells me all I need to know about the stat. That’s just incorrect.

Everyone has their own definitions and it's technically not a "shot attempt."

FWIW, I agree with you.

 

[Bob Richards]

Rangers were better from this moment on

Looking back on it does make that so weird. Carolina scored and had all the momentum and then played ugly which is something we are much at lol.

 

[HolyHagelin]

Does anyone remember when the Rangers let Stralman walk to TB only to watch him help them take off and be the top team in the NHL for a while? Trochek is giving me Stralman-esque signing vibes, only in reverse.

That was maybe my most hated non-retention of all time! It was so onvious before they did it, his metrics were insane! Good call.

 

[McRanger92]

Remember Tony D took his gloves off during a stoppage with 2 refs between him and the rangers bench. What a pathetic loser.

But if the events the stats are logging are this debatable, all you’re doing by expanding the sample is compounding the error. You’re telling me that a team can have twenty breakaways that get pokechecked and their xG for the game would be 0? That’s just not right.

NC state troopers getting their arrest numbers up tonight.

My girlfriend is almost 13 weeks pregnan, our son is a f***ing troll (her nausea is next level) and I've woken her for the 2nd time in 3 nights.


To be fair, she did not ask me if they won tonight. She simply opened the door and said "yay!" then closed it and went back to sleep.

My wife takes the early shift and I do the late shit shift with our little guy. Yeah, they both woke up again tonight. Sorry, winning the Stanley Cup takes a lot of effort and cheering.

 

[Luger]

Welcome back Fil.

It ain't always pretty but this team just keeps finding ways to win.

They are playing the team with the best Vegas odds of winning the Cup when the playoffs started. They aren't going to blow them out each game, but good teams find ways to win close games.

 

[Hire Sather]

Who was that yelling score

ROFL Don jumped Sam so bad

Violated

[Psycho for Perreault]

The moment that changed the game was when the Goodrow Vesey scrum happened. Canes had all the momentum and they were physical. For some reason when everything calmed down from there, they were neutered.

 

[Machinehead]

Always love how we invade everyone else's barn

 

[Luger]

Once again, let's KEEP THIS TRAIN ROLLING!!!!


Guys, is this a dream? 7 straight? Bodying the Canes? Carolina was at home and had to put it all out on the ice and the Rangers were better in the 2nd, 3rd, and the brief OT.

Fun fact: the Rangers again won game 7. It just took them 2 rounds to get to G7.

 

[Rsswmu]

You will not sleep 9 straight hours for the next 4 years. It's a magical time. Enjoy it.

4 years? Going on 6 and don’t see an end in sight lol.

 

[Unpredictable1]

Hank was the same way.

He was the worst on the rare occasions we gave him nothing to do.

The more work he got, the more he got in a groove.

I'll tell you something for nothing, any of us on here that manned the blue paint will tell you, pour gas on me and strike the match for shots.

I don't want to use the quote function but if you want a good chuckle check out Canes Board/"RBA's Next Contract" Thread/Post #211

That is correct!

This is what Sean Avery was supposed to be.

If Trocheck turns around and waves his hands in front of the Canes goalie in Game 4, I'll buy everyone on these boards a Trocheck x Avery custom jersey. Then I'll remember I'm broke and just delete my account Tob's style.
