Jack Johnson sucks

[puckhead]

so there.

KuklasKorner : The Puck Stops Here : Jack Johnson Has A Perennially Bad Adjusted +/-

 

[Bizzle McDizzle]

never really got into his music

 

[Bizzle McDizzle]

though at the time it was a major WTF moment...

maybe Jim Rutherford knew what he was doing after all....
I mean, we TRIED to get him to play in the NHL that year... but he was a big ass baby, stayed in school.

All we did without his defensive skill that year was... win the cup.

What is 'adjusted' plus minus? Is it legit because it kind of sounds like 'stat that I decided to skew for conversation purposes'.

explained here: KuklasKorner : The Puck Stops Here : Worst 20 Adjusted +/- Ratings

basically attempts to offset the effect of the team on the players' +/-.

But what if your play is a big part of determining the 'team baseline +\-' ? Doesn't subtracting the baseline then completely discount your play?

Did you know that Nicklas Lidstrom was a minus 2. Of course that means Rafalski was a better defender with his plus 11....

So that's why Rafalski retired, he wanted to go out on top.

I don't think 'The Puck Stops Here' actually watches hockey games, he just feeds reams of data into his Hal-9000 in between playing Dungeons and Dragons and making his bed.

that being said, Jack Johnson DOES in fact suck.


I do dig reading Corsi stats, zone starts, and all those kind of obscure-ish stats, though.

Darkstone moonlighting at Kuklas Korner?

Darkstone has forgotten more about hockey than this clown who calls himself "The Puck Stops Here" will ever know. Not only that, but Darkstone's writing style is eloquent and flowing, "The Puck Stops Here" favourite writing instruments comes in the 64 Crayola box with the Built-In Sharpener.

Dammit, dash, you know I can only rep so many times...

I warned that you'd go blind, plus now that you're married, you'll be repping all the time......Wait....we're not talking metaphors here, are we?
