Big strong skilled power forwards will always have someone willing to pay them. Even if that power forward committed the most vicious act ever preformed on ice. | ||

Controversial opinion, as awful as the punch was*and it was* I'm still like 90% sure it was the dogpile in the seconds after the punch that prob did his neck/back in. edit* and besides, the most vicious act is totally Philly's own Bobby Clarke taking out the Russian dudes ankle, at least Bertuzzi in public seemed sorry for it, Clarke is still proud of being a POS. | ||

also it's not terribly surprising. bert's size and skill set lends itself to a grinders tyle of play moreso than morrison's or naslund's. | ||

He's had his share of injuries (most of last season with a back one most recently) but also had the entire 04-05 lock out off due to the IIHF honoring his suspension. Probably allowed him to rehab alot of wear and tear. That lockout is the only reason Teemu Selanne was able to play so I'm sure the time off helped Bert On November 04 2013 04:36 Shelke14 wrote: I still remember girls in my highschool crying over Bert being traded away from Vancouver. #givemeafuckingbreak #areyouserious lol #wow #thesedontdoanythinghere | ||

And that even a full 82 game season is not a long enough span for those elements to regress enough for the numbers to be a solid metric. I mean, yeah, we can look to possession stats and stuff like that and they do show an outstanding correlation with long-term success. But what we don't know is how many games need to be taken into account in order to make the numbers absolute, or even some-what determining. And then it becomes impossible to even measure because of roster turn-over, major changes between seasons, injuries, etc. Basically, we need better measurements, though it's a solid start. Teams like Toronto piss me off because the engineer in me wants everything to correlate strongly with a measurable model. And then a shitty team gets good goaltending and wins anyways. Fucking hockey, dude. How many times do NFL players say "the football gods were on our side today" or "you just have to chuck it towards the endzone and good things happen". What a bullshit sport. | ||

What a shot... I dont get it. Kid has missed probably 30 open nets this season easily. Then he walks in and just snipes a goal with an absolute lazer from 8 feet out with his stick a solid 3 inches away from the red goal line. Sharper angle than that goal kessel scored on the Oilers. o.o EDIT: WTF... The Oilers have movement on their powerplay. Something is wrong... something is horribly wrong. | ||

The bad pim's have went up in the last several games, prior to that most of them were fighting majors take for instance last year. The giveaways on the other hand and fact we suck at faceoffs on the other hand needs to improve and won't improve any time soon considering so many guys are out. Screw Clarkson. The Bolland/Mason additions were solid. Anyway, there is a lot more to it than meets the eye. Flaccid I wouldn't call the Leafs shitty. | ||
