No one thinks it’s a wonderful proxy. It’s just generally accurate: as you laid out by saying we are 1/2. The reason it’s a nice metric to follow is not because it guarantees anything: it’s because winning as many, or more than you lose is fun because *winning is the purpose of the game*. It’s fun to see your team win more than you lose. It’s the most basic metric to understand the inherent, mental value of. The fact that it *often* corresponds with playoffs is what makes it not purely emotional. It’s also fun because teams that win more than they lose are fairly, imo, classified as “good”. Hope that helps because you seem to hate it more than people that like it, like it

Can you see the future?

Norris nomination could be a thing

^ Cheat sheet, for my part

We are getting a new backup. Levi playing today seals that for me. UPL gone, Comrie in AHL prob

They’ll learn from the Dahlin bridge and go LT with Power. Power’s rookie year at 20 isn’t as impressive as Dahlin’s at 18, but with our coaching Power won’t go through the temporary dev struggles Dahlin did. He’ll be locked up long term like Samuelsson.

Boy, full marks to Adams on this one. Looking like it’ll be his most impactful move (..and it’s not on an island). An excellent talent analysis and projection by him and his team. To add, I don’t want to get ahead of it and assume he’ll be so good over so many games next year that there won’t be a learning curve as he adjusts to the large workload of a full season, though (And shooters adjust to him), as it’s tough to extrapolate small sample sizes, as we’ve seen. So my preference, in a year where we really gotta see playoffs, would be to add a competent vet backup, if at all possible, to spell starter Levi when he needs rest. Not a comment on confidence in Levi - even the team with whoever has the best goalie in the league needs a capable back up in today’s game, no two ways about it if you have expectations - and I just have none in UPL and Comrie. If anything, Levi’s play has increased that feeling. A back-up addition should honestly be the easy part given how good Levi looks to be, at this time.

My sincere apologies for even mentioning it

Stop trying to make fetch happen dude

No, I mean awful goal song

Great win. Awful goal song be damned

I’m kinda hoping to see him in all 3 facets haha

He’s been really good!

Levi’s best save. He left the traffic and came out to face Panarin recognizing him as the threat Trouba sucks lol

He’s been good!

Yes they are on a back to back but Rangers are a very good team, we’ve done well overall

I can hear Skinner swearing at someone on literally every play lol

Good hustle from Skinner

The pass from Krebs!

Well, their G doesn’t “deserve” a loss either

Nah, I wanna see Levi in OT and the SO. Win it there

Big game, fun save

Fun game Big save

Not a penalty, Jeff

Come on boys!
