Re: NHL Playoffs 2013 - Walruses, Trolls and other assorted creatures.

After the way he played those first four games, do the Wild want him?
No. We're trying to improve the goaltending situation. :p

Which is also funny because Luongo is a .919 regular season goaltender and a .917 playoff goalie. So, basically, no change. But narratives are fun even when they're not true.
Everyone focuses on the few 6/7 goal games, and not the majority which he steals, or at the very least gives his team a chance to win.

KRACH UPDATE - MAY 10
The most likely outcomes in the first round are:

West: CHI in 5 (100%), ANA in 6 (31.8%), SJS in 4 (100%), LAK in 6 (52.6%)
East: PIT in 6 (69.7%), OTT in 5 (100%), NYR in 6 (27.5%), BOS in 5 (51.5%)

If there are only 3 possible outcomes for DET/ANA (ANA in 6, ANA in 7 or DET in 7) how is ANA in 6 the favorite at any less than 33.4%?

<s>Because DET in 7 is the actual most likely outcome (40.4%)</s>
Scratch that. (By my numbers,) the actual odds should be
ANA in 6 = 56.4%
ANA in 7 = 24.6%
DET in 7 = 19.0%

Boyle kind of looks like a 19th century villain a la Snidley Whiplash.

Thanks!!! I'm getting frustrated with the Bruins game.
 
Re: NHL Playoffs 2013 - Walruses, Trolls and other assorted creatures.

Last four games? He had one good run in the playoffs (the year they lost in the finals, when they won he had a .908 Save%). And he's been an .881 goaltender in his last 30 playoff games! .881!

is this supposed to mean anything??

in 2008, his "good year" he faced 610 shots. osgood in 1 less game faced 430

pittsburgh plays up. they don't leave 3 guys back to clog up the middle.
the goalie in pitt is gonna get peppered. with good shots. this means you will give up goals.

now am i defending him? hell no. i don't want to see him again until october.

but don't pull out his stats when they ain't comparable.
