Thorner Posted June 19, 2021 Report Posted June 19, 2021 3 hours ago, Hoss said: The narrative that Vegas had everything handed to them is letting the league off the hook when we should not. They worked over teams and made great deals. Then they made continuous moves to build what is now not just a ragtag group of players but a very talented group. Nobody handed them Mark Stone. Seattle gets the same expansion rules. We’ll see if anyone learned their lesson. Agree - Vegas did Seattle no favors, either. The league did by giving them the same expansion rules, but Vegas certainly set the expectations much higher than they normally are for an expansion team. Quote
Sabres Fan in NS Posted June 19, 2021 Report Posted June 19, 2021 I told yous before and I tell yous again ... this seems to be Montreal's year. GO HABS!! Quote
French Collection Posted June 19, 2021 Report Posted June 19, 2021 Vegas’ centre spine should not scare anyone. That does not look like a Stanley Cup contending group. William Karlsson, Chandler Stephenson, Nic Roy, Keegan Kolesar and Tomas Nosek. The rest of their lineup is good and they play hard and with pace. Two solid goalies as a last line of defence is huge.

You are right. It shouldn’t scare anyone. And yet, here they are in the final four, again… and it’s not just because MAF is playing well. 1 hour ago, New Scotland (NS) said: I told yous before and I tell yous again ... this seems to be Montreal's year.

Claude Balls Posted June 20, 2021 Report Posted June 20, 2021 They ran into each other. Was not a penalty Eddie O!!! I can't stand Olzcyk. Such a clown.

Zamboni Posted June 20, 2021 Report Posted June 20, 2021 This NY/TB game is a heavy one. Some shark action going on. Quote
Claude Balls Posted June 20, 2021 Report Posted June 20, 2021 (edited) Why can't we have a Matt Martin, Ryan Reaves, Tom Wilson etc.....those types of players definitely make a difference. Edited June 20, 2021 by Claude Balls Quote

It was the best of hockey and just a continuous one-upping of great efforts. Killorn pinches the puck and gets it to Kucherov. Kucherov with a beautiful chip to get that puck in front to the wide-open McDonagh. Varlamov knows there's time for one shot and charges out -- there's nothing to shoot at on the forehand, especially with a great dive by Nelson. Aha! But McDonagh out-greats them and tries spinning (I have it on good authority that that's a good trick) to the backhand for that one shot. It's away! Negative. It didn't go in. Just impacted on the Pulock. The greatest effort of them all... Pulock sees McDonagh go to the spin and crashes to the ice to take away the goal. I love hockey. 4 1 1 Quote

Individual events matter little in analytics. A forward who has the skill and drive to do what McDonagh did will tend to cause his team to score (and, thus, win) more. Likewise, a defenseman who puts in the effort and sacrifice that Pulock did will tend to cause his team to be scored on less. That's what the data will reveal over time. It doesn't care about the small details of the play that we admire. An oversimplification, but you get what I'm saying. The beautiful things that we all admire and think lead to winning more may or may not actually prove to do so in aggregate when the data is crunched. We find that unsatisfying, even it's true. That's why things like deep neural networks with thousands of hidden layers that find and learn from patterns that often couldn't be effectively explained to humans, even if they were revealed, are both effective and frustrating. 1 Quote
bob_sauve28 Posted June 20, 2021 Report Posted June 20, 2021 Crazy ending! That call against Hedman was bad, and Tampa almost overcame it. Wow Quote

sabremike Posted June 21, 2021 Report Posted June 21, 2021 After watching this anyone who ever tries to claim that just getting into the playoffs isn't important because "we have no chance" should be laughed at and ridiculed. 3 Quote
