FWIW, Stauffer was always pretty cryptic but in the past few years, he alluded to Smyth and crocodile tears and that there’s more to it than it being just a 250k difference.
Always came off as Smyth was more in it for the money than loyalty despite his “legacy”

Yeah but he didn't write it. So he isn't an author.Still has his name on the spine.
Expected goals is not a real thing only made up theory.
I would expect whoever scores the most to most likely score.
Anybody adding some other sort of stat into it is looking to appear smarter than the rest.

Smyth's wife is he brains in the family not ryan.
Here is an article on just how low social media people have gotten. I imagine this has already been posted
Most players i played with coming up in the 80's were a lot better off than me. Many players play down sometimes that is in the backgrounds
And a generational talent trying to get to 100 assists.

What you’re saying “should” be true over a very large sample size, and the fact that it isn’t *exactly* suggests there is room for the model to be tuned up. However, it’s still a useful lens to examine.
If a guy has a career high or a career low Gf in a season, or a under a new coach, or with new line mates, but is maintaining his usual xGF, you can probably infer that the situation or luck is to blame/credit, and that he can regress to the mean if addressed/waited out. There are probably a ton of practical applications of this. But “generating scoring chances” is worthwhile to track, even if it doesn’t always perfectly correlate to generating scoring.
IMO guys who regularly exceed or match their xGF are exactly the type we should be targeting to play with Hyman and McD. You know, scorers. Finishers. Shooters. Real talent.

He is now the highest scoring children's author in NHL history. Way to go Zac!
In honor of being a net-front presence and heart and soul hero...

Sounds like Andlauer sold to Hyman and his dad with the plan to move the Belleville Sens to Hamilton and get an expansion OHL team back for Belleville.

He has to be battling injuries. He used to be so strong on the puck and in the corners. Something has been off with him all season long.
He looked great until he broke his jaw and now he looks like garbage. We better trade for a good top 6 winger or we are in a world of screwed.
