Ive said this before... Philipp Danault had 40 points in his first full season in the NHL. He'll never be a number 1 centre, but maybe, just maybe he becomes a 50-55 point guy who can be our number 2. He had a hell of a night.

You guessed wrong. He plays centre.

Shipachyov did not show up to Chicago to play in the AHL tonight.

GO TO THE NET He gives up rebounds like mad.

OH and all three goals have been on the PP. Guess what position he plays on the PP....

Pavelec is hot garbage. I told my buddy before the game, when I saw Pavelec was in net, that if they don't score at least 3 this game I will give up on the season.

That 4th liner we don't play much .... yeah, he leads the team in goals (tied with Byron, Gallagher and Weber), as of this post.

As with any statistic.... the bigger a sample size you have, the better it is. A large enough sample size to have a perfect statistic, in any statistic like this is infinite. However the larger the sample size you have, the more you reduce the margin for error.... as you increase the sample it gets better and better, with a smaller percentage of errors. Its not about having a perfect stat though, that is impossible. Its about having the best statistics you can have. And possession is the best indicator of future wins that we have found up to this point in time.

finally a solid start for Lindgren.

Wins and losses are important over ten games. So is Vegas going to win the cup? The fact is that while no stat is perfect... possession stats are a better predictor of future wins than win loss records. This has been examined over large samples and the correlations are significantly higher. You can call them bunk, but there is a reason why all 31 teams have analytics depts now... why Vegas is looking into them when setting betting lines, why they are being widely used for a number of other things as well.

Advanced Stats track very well over long sample sizes. Over 10 games, you can get wacky results Anyone who has taken the most basic of college or university level stats courses would understand the problems with making conclusions based on a 10-game sample.

How does this have anything to do with MB? I'm more than willing to criticize MB, but Martin Reway had an infection that led to an enlarged heart. He took a year off hockey. Now he is not capable of playing at the same level as before. What was Bergevin supposed to do here?

3 more assists for evans in a 5-4 win.

And they lose in OT

Yeah, he's questioning himself. Does he want to stay here or go home? normal for anyone in the circumstances.

He's coming back after a year off of hockey due to an infection that caused an enlarged heart. Right now he can't keep up with the play.

We all want a silver lining of a good pick if we dont make the playoffs... my question was how do you do it.

So you expect this to continue for 82 games? Did you think the habs would go undefeated after 10 games last year? Do you expect vegas to win the cup?

How do you tank this team? When Buffalo tanked they traded every vet of value, and every goalie who could stop a puck. When the Leafs tanked they did the same, had no goalie, and put Garrett Sparks in for 20 games. How do you tank the Habs. Do you tell Price to fake an injury and go home (that's not happening)... Do you trade Shea Weber? In-season no less? Do you give up on Jonathan Drouin now? How do you tank this team? Its all nice to talk about tanking. But that doesn't mean its possible. Tanking a team starts in the off-season, not in October... and it takes the right set of circumstances. it's not happening with this club.

I stilk think he can play. I mean vegas has given him three games at limited ice time. He even scored a goal. The issue of being in the ahl is all about mcphee not wanting to waive anyone and wait for.deals.

Bergevin saved his 8.5 million and for what? How many goals scored by cap space this season?

With cap space and nothing to spend it on and pir shot centres... id do it for cheap

They need a goalie with all their injuries. Well give them montoya and eat the difference in cap hits.

Of course Mario Tremblay wouldn't be the type to throw stones while living in a glass house. http://torontosun.com/2015/03/20/mario-tremblay-delivers-cheap-shot-to-pk-subban-during-dui-arrest-court-hears/wcm/b5752ed2-086b-4d82-a961-f49484b109a7
