That Aud Smell Posted November 3, 2015 Report Posted November 3, 2015 I've really come around to believing that the #fancystats are a means of better understanding the game's beauty, as opposed to atomizing it into something else.
shrader Posted November 3, 2015 Report Posted November 3, 2015 I would like a stat for assists that are off of shot rebounds. I like your idea too. We could actually figure out who is driving production. That could definitely be derived from the shot charts they track. I've seen the official college ones and they're great. Player number, time and location of the shot or attempt, it's all there.

JJFIVEOH Posted November 3, 2015 Report Posted November 3, 2015 I think the best stat is 'goals for' and 'goals allowed' for each game.
Doohicksie Posted November 3, 2015 Report Posted November 3, 2015 I think Ws vs Ls is a pretty good indicator of a team's performance.

WildCard Posted November 3, 2015 Report Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) Anyone else thing we're due for an outdoor game next year? Sabres-Oilers outdoor game would be pretty sweet Edited November 3, 2015 by WildCard

darksabre Posted November 3, 2015 Report Posted November 3, 2015 Anyone else thing we're due for an outdoor game next year? Sabres-Oilers outdoor game would be pretty sweet Agreed. We are totes due.
Hoss Posted November 3, 2015 Report Posted November 3, 2015 Anyone else thing we're due for an outdoor game next year? Sabres-Oilers outdoor game would be pretty sweet Wait that's brilliant. I imagine Vancouver and Buffalo will get games in 2020. I wonder if we'll get any before then.
MattPie Posted November 3, 2015 Report Posted November 3, 2015 Wait that's brilliant. I imagine Vancouver and Buffalo will get games in 2020. I wonder if we'll get any before then. Interesting thought, there were six teams that joined in 67, so 2017 would be a natural there. Philly vs Pitts would be a good one, and figure out how to make the Kings, Stars, and Blues work. The other team that year was the California Seals/Cleveland Barons, but it doesn't look like anyone claims that franchise so maybe throw someone in there to make three pairs. After that, Buffalo/Vancouver in 70, Flames/Isles in 72, and Devils/Caps (Devils were in KC though) for 1974.

wjag Posted November 4, 2015 Report Posted November 4, 2015 Seguin got a HT against Boston tonight. Replay clearly showed on 3rd goal that the puck came out over blue line before being pulled back in and deposited in net by Seguin; CJ did not challenge it.
bunomatic Posted November 4, 2015 Report Posted November 4, 2015 Chris Kelly fractured his left femur tonight. Time of recovery 6-8 months

SwampD Posted November 4, 2015 Report Posted November 4, 2015 McDavid took a heck of a hit just now. Oof. Looks like he hurt his shoulder.

SwampD Posted November 4, 2015 Report Posted November 4, 2015 (edited) Was it illegal? On a shorthanded rush, he took a shot and lost his balance then two Flyers crashed into him in the end boards. Hope it's not his collar bone. Edited November 4, 2015 by SwampD
WildCard Posted November 4, 2015 Report Posted November 4, 2015 Completely honest here, I don't know how reliable this guy is, but Terry JonesVerified account @sunterryjonesMcDavid in the hallway outsite Oilers dressing room with skates off and arm/shoulder in a sling. It's serious. Edit: NVM, he's in the Hockey Writers HOF, that tweet is legitimate

You could tell he was hurt but tried to hide it and skated to the bench until the period ended.
