Mutually exclusive and narrative. I don't think anyone actually says either of those while talking face to face with someone.
Edit: forgot to mention Girardi. Feel like that joke has been played out over two years ago.

eye-test. wtf is the eye-test

There’s nothing wrong with saying “eye test” to illustrated a person should watch the game. A lot of people since advanced stats come out in full circle have stopped relying on judging players by how they look and play on the ice, some to the point where they don’t even watch the games anymore, just use statistics and say they tell the full story. Which is false.

Agreed. It all depends on how you use the 'eye test' in the same way it depends on how you use stats.

For me, it's whenever people title their threads in the form of a yes/no question. It's such an intellectually lazy way to introduce a point without the responsibility of arguing for or against it. For example instead of the title "Is Jarome Iginla a first ballot Hall of Famer?", make it "Jarome Iginla is/is not a first ballot Hall of Famer" and argue your point in your post.

Go take a look at the front page right now and you'll see what I'm talking about. Now you won't be able to unsee it and it will bother you every time.

I don't particularly love it either but "corsi player" or "shot differential player" just doesn't sound good, albeit more accurate.

none sound good and none accurately reflect what wins hockey games.

I also hate the phase "they need time to gel"

Classy, analytics, Crosby, overrated, "you have no credibility", ".... save of the year", ".... is the best player ever" and so on
