Western

 

St.Louis vs Minnesota - St. Louis in 7

Chicago vs Nashville - Chicago in 6

Winnipeg vs Anaheim - Anaheim in 5

Vancouver vs Calgary - Calgary in 6

Pens suck. Rangers are the best team in the NHL by a pretty significant margin. They are the heavy favorites. Pens were lucky they played Buffalo in the last game or they would have missed the playoffs.

 

Incorrect on basically all fronts.

Montreal vs Ottawa - Ottawa in 7

Running numbers or is there a little personal bias here?

Anaheim is a slight favourite in reality. +EV on the Jets though in public markets.

Yup.

 

[43211234]

GD tell us how you did this

 

White text colour.

[Laika]

Bruins fire Chiarelli.

 

Guy builds a solid 5 year contender that wins a cup and then makes another finals.

 

One garbage trade and just missing the playoffs once and poof, done.

 

Hockey is cruel.

 

Leafs might have interest?

[Horses Fart]

Leafs should jump on Charelli.

[Frag]

I'm probably going to get s*** for this, but I think Chiarelli has been pretty average aside from one good year, and that year was 2006 (2006 draft, signing Chara and Savard). His draft since 2006 consists of Seguin (idiot proof), Hamilton, and possibly Pastrnak, with some maybes in Colborne, Caron and Griffith. As for trades, his record is mixed:

 

Good:

 

Kessel trade

Rask trade

Boychuk for Hendricks

Horton trade

 

Bad:

 

Seguin trade

Boychuk trade

Versteeg trade

Kaberle trade (Leafs acted like idiots with their picks)

Sobotka trade

 

All that's left is his free agents, where I don't know his history as well beyond Chara and Savard. Overall, he seems like an okay GM who got really lucky with inheriting Bergeron and Thomas.

Generally he's been really good at filling out a complete roster though, with sneaky good guys like Krug, Peverley, Soderberg, etc. I think...

Check out my updated advanced stats and accompanying projections: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11hOH37TCFEIA5TRB_M5IPQhyUC6sL6slhlTDKLCe2DY/edit#gid=0

 

Projections have Tarasenko as best player in the game per TOI.

 

I'm thinking Carey Price wins the Hart (and Vezina, of course), and the analytics seem to back that up.

The Soderberg trade was good, and Krug was a good pick-up. They got Peverley by trading Blake Wheeler, which is pretty much a wash (edge to Wheeler).

Damn, forgot that they gave up Wheeler for Peverley. I guess Peverley helped them win a cup so it was worth it in the end.

Subban kicked out of the game for a slash on Stone...Stone ran to the dressing room and no word yet...

 

3-2 Montreal in a crazy game

[Dylan]

Come on sens!!!! (never thought id say that)

[King]

Crazy game

[canadiansportsjunkie]

Tie game!

[Dylan]

Crazy game

 

Do you have a room of like 10 tvs? lol

[burlingtonbandit]

Subban is a piece of s***. Mark Stone was playing like one of the best forwards in the NHL the second half of the season.

[TRM]

Let's go Red Wings *clap clap. clap clap clap.*

[TRM]

Huge win. Totally undeserved. Mrazek looked great.

[havok24]

46-14 SOG? wow.

[Spanky99]

Go PEG Go!!!

[Spanky99]

+1.

 

Dude, your account ban is lifted, NO???

[Spanky99]

Stupid penalty by Schieffle?
