What's the worst word/saying on this site

[chchelseII]

This thread isn't dynamic enough.

There are charts though, dude.

But yeah if it's off the chart it's irrelevant.

Also, charts are dumb.

LOL. off the charts is not really a hockey thing. but really if something is off the charts THEN FIX THE GODDAMN Y AXIS. problem solved it is now back on the chart.

way too many people sound like they're a character in Spinal Tap.

ps - yeah there are way too many charts. posters think if something is put in a chart and given a funky name it must mean more.

"Dead puck era" is used a LOT. I don't mind it at all whn it's used correctly and I use it myself (and used it before coming to this site), but to someone who doesn't know exactly WTF it is/was, I imagine it sounds odd.

Also, THE dead puck era is a specific period in hockey history; it's the period between the first and second lockouts ('95-'04) or 1997 (when the trap became more prevalent and scoring really starting to decline)-2004. Not every low-scoring period in hockey is called THE dead puck era. The recent low-scoring era isn't THE dead puck era. I don't what it's called exactly. We should come up with a term for it.

"The period immediately preceding the commencement of the 2017 - 2018 season" really rolls off the tongue.

My vote goes for "book it." Especially when followed but a completely unsubstantiated prediction.

Charts offer superior misrepresentation.

Superior is a pretty good word, I like it, its a nice.

"hater"

"You're just a (insert my team here) hater!" seems to come up a lot on the main boards if anybody is remotely critical of a team that isn't their own, even if they can back up what they are saying. It's just lame.

Era in general is used way too much. There's people that act like it's a new era every few years. Every time I turn my head it's a new NHL!

"gamebreaker" aka i noticed them make a rush up the ice a couple times

This is the perceived difference between Jack Eichel and Sam Reinhart and it somehow makes people think Eichel is 2x as valuable because he skates fast sometimes.

 

[Haatley]

Not sure if said already but "elite." Especially when used like "elite third line centre". Drives me nuts.

 

[Laodongxi]

"Loose" instead of "lose".

 

[joe dirte]

"Loose" instead of "lose".

hahaha. yeah. I actually love it. when someone tosses out "looser" it really puts a smile on my face.

 

[Laodongxi]

Bunch a loosers!

Also, charts are dumb.

It's usually used with hockey IQ or some other intangible. I don't know about you but I've never seen a hockey IQ chart.

So yes I agree there are charts. It's just when there aren't charts that I'm bothered by it.

Corsi for me

 

[blundluntman]

If _____ went back to the 80's ______ also

 

[joe dirte]

Corsi for me

in what sense? I don't mind looking at CORSI but holy Christ some take it country miles too far. they think it tells you everything about a player.

Off the charts.

There are no ****ing charts. Shut up.

There are charts and there are instances of NHL players performing so beyond the norm, that the data isn't included.

For example, Erik Karlsson has more than once registered points/60 rates above what WARRIOR charts even measured.

There are also guys (*cough* Girardi) who allow so many shots that their shot suppression rates wouldn't register at or above the minimum.

It's a thing.

i have since clarified. Sometimes it's used when there are no charts.

.

wait. has he ever even had the highest points per 60 in the league?

 

[DitchMarner]

Here's one!!!

A belief in the rapid evolution of hockey, to the point where dominant players from just 15 or so years ago are being discredited based on the idea on the idea that the game has "changed a lot since they played."

Yes, the sport changes and evolves, but it hasn't changed that much in the last 15-20 years.

This idea is so laughable and I've made refuting arguments against it enough times that it's basically a meme to me at this point.

"Lemieux wouldn't be any good today! Fourth liners nowadays can skate faster than fourth liners of the past and they eat better than Jenny Craig!!!"

Sure, in that case, then it's just not a thing. Like 110%.
