Joey Hishon is set to return tomorrow after 2 years.

stan:getz · Post #3 by **stan:getz** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 9:24 am

If he actually stuck for more than a week he should retire and claim it was on his own terms.

Farewell, Cameron Gaunce.

Welcome, Tomas Vincour.

I wonder if more exciting trades are in the reserves?

Alex Jones · Post #11 by **Alex Jones** » Tue Apr 02, 2013 8:04 pm

If he can come in an provide anything he'll be worth more than Guance is to this organization.

WarriorOfGandhi · Post #14 by **WarriorOfGandhi** » Tue Apr 02, 2013 8:46 pm

Gaunce looked great in his stint two years ago, but his play has turned into a huge dump ever since. Vincour isn't much more than a 3rd line wing but his advanced numbers have been strong (though he's had soft minutes). Not expecting much from him.

stan:getz · Post #15 by **stan:getz** » Tue Apr 02, 2013 8:53 pm

What the fuck does advanced numbers mean?

Is this sport turning into baseball?

Which is roughly 70 pages too many for anybody to be making math equations and things for sports. Let alone reading all of it.

Advanced numbers are completely pointless. Vincour is an AHL turd. Gaunce has potential, but he's better off moving on.

AHL trade.

Yeah, because I said something even remotely similar to that.

For goalies, sv% is the most relevant stat, though it is flawed and highly influenced by the team in front of the goalie.

There's a reason why nobody takes advanced stats seriously in hockey - they aren't even remotely applicable or relevant.

I couldn't care less about Nate Silver. He's as irrelevant as advanced stats in hockey.

It seems we haven't fucked up a top 3 pick yet.

The board was against Duchene. Duchene has prevailed.

Duchene can have any attitude he wants, as long as he keeps playing like this.

His play is so different than last season, it's almost astounding. Gives me hope for other developing young players whose games look a bit weak right now (Elliott, for example).

I've argued with you before and know full well that you're not worth the effort. That you're ignorant enough to think that advanced stats are at all relevant, especially considering that you don't even understand them, speaks volumes about your lack of logical thought.
