According to you, the article gave "good in-depth analysis". In the article the author mentioned the +/- stat. Therefore, both of your opinions can easily be dismissed in the future.

Plus/Minus stats are actually somewhat useful if the person analyzing them understands the roles of the players and their subsequent +/- rating.
Did you not even see how he mentioned it?
He is actually explaining how the +/- stat for Staal is misleading. Did you even understand the article? Or make any effort to read it?

See Bleacher Report -----> Bad article
See +/- ------> Bad article
The critical thinkers of this board I tells ya...
I don't like Bleacher Report myself, but they are getting some legitimate people to write for them.

Lol the negativity around this team is comical, can't wait to pull this article out of the basement at the end of the season.
What does that matter? He's writing for a general audience, and a lot of fans are still unaware of the flaws of +/-.
Plus, why are you trying to change the direction of the conversation? Did you actually understand the points he was making? Because I honestly wouldn't hold it against anyone if they didn't. The advanced stats he mentions are pretty new.

Have fun receiving your in-depth analysis from Bleacher Report articles.
While you're at it, make sure to let the rest of us know if Eklund mentions any Rangers trade rumors over at hockeybuzz.
Are you actually going to try to have a discussion? Because this kind of response tells me that you don't know what you're talking about, so out of desperation, you're trying to insult me.

So by this logic we are just banking shooting percentage and the floodgates should open in the back half of the season.
Never mind the fact that the Rangers have created an abysmally low number of quality scoring opportunities because they are simply not that good.

He read your post and a Dr. immediately diagnosed him with cancer. Do you really need someone to explain cancer to you?

It's going to be more than that, the team needs to figure out it's offensive identity, and sooner rather than later.
I don't think they lack forward depth as much as they lack top-end talent, and it really hurts that two of their three best forwards offensively are hurt (Nash and Callahan) and one is simply lost right now (Stepan, and it really hurt to miss training camp with a new coach coming in), so we're seeing guys like Boyle play bigger roles then they should be playing.
I felt that tonight, they outplayed Montreal at even-strength. They just couldn't finish, partly because of bad luck (Budaj was outstanding), the lack of skill, and probably more important, the confusion over how to play in the offensive zone. This team looks stuck between trying to play spread-out creative hockey and crashing the net. A lot of times tonight, I saw point shots that Budaj had no problem seeing, and that has to change.
It's just a combination of the team being in disarray right now and just being unlucky.

The bleachers better go change their fanboy blog post to, "The Hidden Potential of the 3-7 New York Rangers"

I don't even like Bleacher Report for the most part. I'm just smart enough to actually read the article and form my own opinion of it rather than just assume that it's worthless because of the source.

He's not assuming it's worthless because of the source, he's assuming it's worthless because it isn't a pro John Tortarella article
Let's take a look at the post:
And you conveniently left out the part where for every part, he analyzes his point and gives evidence and reasoning for his thoughts. And it actually makes sense, especially if you have an understanding of the statistics he's taking about.
Doesn't seem like the "fanboy" type of blog post that you so badly want to characterize it as.
And for some reason, you don't provide reasons as to why they are "laughable" quotes. And somehow, you are questioning what Vollman wrote despite this?
