Sounds like you are open to new ideas for sure!

To me this has been interesting. I've changed my opinion on a pile of these stats through healthy debate about what is and isn't good information. We went from corsi to chance splits, debating what those are. Now new information is out that really breaks things down.

As I've said 100 times, this isn't bringing in models with wild assumptions and tricky math. It's counting occurences of events. If the masses want to say they were a perimeter team that was trying to out corsi everyone, the numbers don't show that.

You can either take that in, or bury your head. Seems like you've made up your mind.
Hes right though.

Glen Gulutzan should have been fired while there was still hope. You can quote the stats I suppose but the writing was on the wall, you could clearly see that he was not 'the guy.'

Edmonton hired him. Edmonton. The Oilers. Need I say more?

He was useless. He was actually worse than useless he was actively detrimental.

I find it strange that you point at the stats as some form of vindication.



Apparently we were a good team and Ol' Gul was a good coach but we just didnt win enough?

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
