They should have this on the wall in the locker.

Dom L’s system has Hughes rated the same as Bouchard. How he forms his thoughts on hockey are worthless and actively make The Athletic that reference them worse.

Now this current rating system is based on one round so it’s even noisier and less informative than his usually useless rankings.

He doesn’t seem to actually understand hockey beyond numbers in his model. I’m continuously surprised how nascent public hockey analytics, and stubborn, still is. Nowhere near as informative or understanding of how context matters as other sports.

The worst part is that he isn't even a very good statistician. From what I can tell he basically copies models from other sports.

The fact that The Athletic leans on his stuff so heavily is downright lazy. It allows them to pump low quality content out. It's amazing how much better of a writer Drance is when he doesn't base the premise of a story off of Dom's model.

Where was that confirmed?

The later the start, the better for us. Oilers were already healthy, we need as much rest as possible.

This series comes down to goaltending, special teams, and EP40. Our goaltending needs to be better than theirs. Special teams needs to find a way to saw things off in at least 4-5 games. And EP needs to go full Alien.

I'm calling Nucks in 6. But really, if a hockey fairy told you one second round series was going to be a blood bath, smart money would be on Edmonton kicking our teeth in.

And it might happen in a game or two. We get down a goal early, have to push for offense, and their speed on the counterattack takes advantage.

Going to need to shake off bad games, and win close ones. As long as we show up (and I fully expect we will) should be a fun series.

Much needed rest for the canucks. Rest up and heal any injuries.

Maybe too much rest for oilers and they come out rusty hah

Go canucks go

Sunday's game better not be an early start given it's Mother's Day.
