Post hoc is a particularly tempting error because correlation sometimes appears to suggest causality. The fallacy lies in a conclusion based solely on the order of events, rather than taking into account other factors potentially responsible for the result that might rule out the connection.[2]
A simple example is "the rooster crows immediately before sunrise; therefore the rooster causes the sun to rise."

Yup. Also gone: Bennett. He is obviously a terrible player then, right? Or maybe it's the addition of Trevor Lewis that's righted the ship this year.
Tkachuk is playing much better. He's also on the top line, which is a change in itself. He's also doing what supposedly Gio (and others) suggested he do, which is focus harder between the whistles and not afterwards. I suspect Sutter said much the same to him.
