I never really gave a lot of credence to these types of stats until I read your articles and better understood them. I appreciate your guidance, so to speak.

Some people (like me), just don't grasp analytics well. And, as another poster has pointed out, some players, like Neal, aren't made for 'run and gun' hockey.

I love James Neal as a person. He is charitable and positive, and truly a natural leader. However, I think it's evident that the Flames are trying to fit a square peg into a round hole at this point. It's unfortunate, but Neal is a better fit for a different type of team, imo.

I hope I am wrong. I would love to see him gel and start scoring. I hate seeing him so disappointed, especially in himself.

But Vegas? Heck, Pittsburgh? They played fast, if not run and gun.
