This thread just reminded me of something incredulous I read over on the other boards the other day. While discussing the idea of Eichel and McDavid joining forces on a line in the U23 tourny, someone posted (likely an Oil fan), "It would be amazing seeing the possession numbers those two could generate together". Or something to that effect.

I just thought to myself, "Ooo, possession numbers, how exciting. Much more exciting than big goals or passes or rushes or even - you know - watching actual possession on the ice. Nope, I would be so excited by those numbers once crunched the next day."

At any rate, neither here nor there, but the excitement over data was pretty weird to me.
