Claude Balls Posted March 2, 2019 Report Posted March 2, 2019 This would be the perfect time to finally win two in a row again. The only team I hate more than Toronto is Boston. Kick some arse boys Quote

nfreeman Posted March 2, 2019 Report Posted March 2, 2019 I agree with @Derrico — would just add that neither goalie has seized the job IMHO. 1 Quote

I have no problem with Ullmark getting more of the load, but starting goalies on back to backs is almost always a bad idea. Quote

Maybe. I have no idea the stats because 99 percent of the time a coach will split the games. Is it really poor if the same guy goes back to back? Legit asking. Not sure if there is a stat out there or not. Quote

Phil likes to go with whoever "has the hot hand" and other hockey-oriented wives tales that he has heard for his entire life around the game. The thing is, Phil is new to the HC ranks of the NHL, but he is not really young. He is from the old school and in that sense does not represent where this sport is going in the future. The dichotomy between organizations following the data and those doing it the old way is really interesting to me, b/c a genuine competitive advantage is there to be had right now by the organizations that get it. Eventually, everyone will catch up, everyone will follow the numbers, and that competitive advantage will disappear forever. Unfortunately, we are on the wrong side of the equation at the moment.

While I've seen much criticism of how he may or may not utilize advanced stats in his game plans/lines/etc., haven't people usually praised the system he uses as being good for the "modern" NHL?

RonHextallsShoulderPads Posted March 2, 2019 Report Posted March 2, 2019 I can’t watch this game on the west coast. Please destroy them. You owe us. We’ve been patient. Show up in back to back games. Quote

Isn’t starting the same goalie on both ends of a back to back unusual for Phil? I thought he usually alternated. Quote
... Posted March 3, 2019 Report Posted March 3, 2019 Made a nice, olde skool meatloaf and mashed potatoes dinner with a local IPA. Now I have the fire going and a fresh cup of coffee with the game on the big TV. Hope they win. 1 Quote

Carmel Corn Posted March 3, 2019 Report Posted March 3, 2019 Perhaps the Leaf's should have retired Johnny's number 91 in a ceremony before the game to help him feel better. Those evil Islander fans hurt his feelings. 1 Quote
