So sounds like McIntyre has SDS

Hopefully this puts that stupid assumption to bed forever. I know it won't but it's fun to dream.

I still wish we would continue to see what we have in Heinola. He was starting to show his potential in his run of games. IMO he has the highest ceiling of the group that keeps being rotated in and out and it would be great to see if he can be what we hoped when we drafted him. I think he makes the most sense when we are being killed with a fast forechecking opponent.

If he turns out to be a bust, then so be it, but it would be good to know before the end of the year.

They have chips in the pucks now...

The data gathering keeps getting better. The biases get reduced.

But wouldn't they taste rubbery...

Its nice that McIntyre asked some tough questions that obviously fans are searching for answers to.

Chevy seemed pretty clear that he lets the coach decide the lineup. Which lines up to me.

Interesting Stats ... each teams best defensive D man
Schmidt - Panthers
Chisholm - Wild
Kovakevic - Devils
Miller - Jets
and some people wonder why people don't believe in some stats.

So if every defenseman on the Jets has their expected goals share decline whenever Stanley is on the ice with them (except for Heinola) and Stanley is the only defenseman on the Jets whose goals allowed on the penalty kill is above expected, would trading Stanley to anyone for future considerations possibly be the best move they could make at the deadline?
