I hate Christmas music. It makes me want to go on a spree and not the shopping kind.
A shin kicking spree? That sounds mature.

What grinds my gears, is that Analytics is being taken so seriously on this board. Seriously, I find it's ruining good debate. I realize it's part of the future of hockey discussion, but when you bring up and discuss a player's traits and someone throws analytics in your face like it's the word of the Lord, it drives me crazy and I really think it's to bad. I mean, all season we were losing the Corsi battle almost every game but we were winning the games themselves; these last 4 games we have won at Corsi, but lost each game.
I just wish people would take analytics as an added measure to reaffirm what they are seeing. Not be like, well this player/team has good or bad Corsi/Fenwick so that is the end of discussion. I'm seeing this on the main boards especially and it seriously is really frustrating the hell out of me and grinding my gears hard.
I think tonight I'm going to go home, wrap myself in my blankie with a hot chocolate and watch Trouble with the Curve.

Totally agree JH. Hockey isn't ******* baseball. The only way to know how good a player is and what their weaknesses are is to watch them.
Like I think they have a place and add to the discussion, but if I say "that player is a bad player" and they legit are, and then someone else counters and says, "well that players advanced stats are excellent so he's a number 1 dman", well crap like that pisses me off.
I find it is often used by those who do not watch the team play regularly themselves. Its a way they can try to sound like they know what they are talking about. In reality, they are just as clueless as they were years before it became popular.
Hence, its often used on Forums such as this, or comment sections. When people have little to know accountability.
Like every other statistic, if it is used on its own, it will often mislead, or be right out wrong.
And like everyone else is saying, it's gotten really annoying. Its as if some people would prefer to have every game played out on a sheet of paper.

Christmas songs really grind my gears.
