I never had a problem with objective data. It's how it gets twisted.
Look at the thread about most stressful teams. There's data sure but getting to some concept of stressfulness is the issue. Almost totally fabricated notion.
As an aside the Sabres' 10 game segments this season have yielded the following points:
10
10
7
11
10
12
9* *2 games left
Consistently mediocre. Games 21-30 effectively took them out of it. 51-60 got them a little closer to the playoffs.
Jilted fans are like women. They never forget anything, even an intonation.
So, yes.
Remember the old schoolyard taunt. If you can't say it you can't do it?
