The Advanced Stats Thread Episode VI: RIP To Our Databases

[Machinehead]

Not only do Minny fans think their team is good; they think their team is interesting.

Is there a single player on the Wild that’s worth it to go out of my way to watch? Um, nope lol.

Wild fans are adverse to criticism to a bizarre point.

The organization has literally never done anything wrong in nearly two decades.

I think Zucker is a very exciting player. Dumba too.

So is Kreider and watching the Rangers from 2016 on made me wanna light my house on fire.

They almost feel like the opposite of Caps fans who (rightly) think everything the team does is going to end like some Shakespearean tragedy

 

[Machinehead]

Or maybe professional athletes don’t need to be artificially motivated

The team that gets off the bus with the better players usually wins. Motivation doesn't radically affect results. If AV were Winston Churchill and employed the same system, we get the same crap.

That said, I would still prefer a coach that isn't loathed by his players for blatant mistreatment and misunderstanding of the game. They are human, after all.

And I don't care of you have the best system ever, he f***ed with Henrik Lundqvist. In the illustrious words of Eminem: there's a certain line you just don't cross and he crossed it.

Not when Kreider plays a great game tho

I've got a few Minnesota friends and the answer to this is three part:

1) The Vikings
2) The Timberwolves
3) The Twins

One of them said I was mentally ill for saying they’re boring

I can't even watch them play the Jets and the Jets are probably the most exciting team in hockey.

Ya word I love the Jets team rn, just waiting for them to beat Minnesota so I can see them play a real team

 

[Machinehead]

I miss Kreider already

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

I miss Kreider already

Just imagine him playing under a coach that actually ENCOURAGES puck possession

The world may not be ready for that

I heard him say Lundqvist's name in the press conference and I just lost it.

Are they? I'm watching them and am not that impressed by their exciting play. Seems robotic and not creative.

Kreider-Zibanejad-Chytil with a competent coach.

My body is not ready but I'm going for it anyway!

Nah that's just cause they're playing the Wild

Schiefele is so friggin’ awesome. I don’t need to have a Crosby level #1C. Just give me a Schiefele level one.

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

I miss Kreider already

Think it’s going to be really fun to see him in the WC this year

 

[silverfish]

Watch the game?

 

[Mac n Gs]

Watch the game?

And you thought you were the best troll account? How the f*** do these people have jobs? How the f*** haven’t you seen Trout in person (why does that even matter in baseball with the amount of available video and analysis) since 2011?

On the one hand, yes, there's a ton of other evidence available.

However, if you are a professional scout for a team in the same conference as the best player in baseball, and you haven't seen him play in person in 7 years, you suck.

I just literally cannot believe an AL scout hasn’t seen Trout live since 2011. There’s no f***ing way.

The full article - Mookie Betts or Mike Trout: Who gets the nod? - The Boston Globe - is full of ridiculously wrong takes from multiple scouts.

Some of the takes on this site are miserable. So many vocal people who think they know everything who don't know shit.
