The model makes sense in what it’s doing

Doesn’t matter in the real world obviously

Yeah, there isn't really an agreeable method of assigning credit to plays like that.

For example, was it a great save by Bobrovsky? Yes.

Did Las Vegas create the scoring chances to begin with? Yes.

It's a difficult problem to solve without access to the raw data that we were talking about in the thread you created a while ago. And it still would be difficult even if we did have it.

In 19 playoffs games played, Tkachuk has:

3 OT Goals
2 Game Tying Goals
1 Go Ahead Goal

1 OT Assist
3 Game Winner Assists
6 Go Ahead Assists

3 First Stars
2 Second Stars
1 Third Star

Whether they get the cup or not, that's a hell of a playoffs.

Nice to see people talking about me still though

Can't really comment on deserve to win o meter...wins a win

5 games at least...I just don't see any way Florida wins 4 of 5

He’s way too busy to care about this series at all.

Totally what I said

I mentioned earlier today I would be missing the game...an OT win has not chased me away from CP I can assure you.

Pretty hard to comment on a game I didn't watch...pretty hard to post when I am on the ice myself

Maurice with some good stuff in his presser

Didn’t quite comment directly on officiating

He did say at one point that he didn’t like his minutes in the first 2 periods, with Sam Reinhart at about 17 minutes and only 7 even strength

Joked with reporters about if they were going to ask him who was starting next game

When asked if Verhaeghe saved him from getting fined, a long exhale “ooh… wow. … I think I’ve been pretty good for three games”

Then a deep cut and a little bit incomplete story, about a diamond his wife has that they call the Lance Roberts diamond, referring to a tough night he had one night before Christmas. Presumably in a year in the oughts. I am guessing a bit about how it came to be, but think I likely have gotten the correct gist.

Couple of questions about Tkachuk. He confirmed it was the concussion protocol that took him out and that when they do that, there is nothing in the way of updates until it is done

A neat question from a reporter asking what Tkachuk is like in big games. Maurice said he is quiet. Good with teammates. But quiet.

Also talked about his game / demeanour changing around January.

I recommend checking it out if you find these kind of things interesting

Watched the replays, hats off to Bennett for playing a role in both tying the game and the OT winner. Most likely he would be on the bench if that was Calgary. Florida showing lots of confidence in him.
Kept the puck in play on that empty net.

Yeah some talking like the game was was over based on how he was playing. Funny what happens when you watch the whole game.

Those were huge assists. Sam has been amazing these playoffs. Happy for him.

Unbelievable. Conn Smythe or not what a star. The timing of those goals. That’s historic, unprecedented stuff. He’s become a freakin legend.

Yes Bob has been great but the 2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs are all about Matthew Tkachuk. No one else. Matthew Freakin Tkachuk.

It coulda been us. It shoulda been us. Sigh.

Bobrovski outplayed Hill last night by quite a margin. Glad Florida is making it a series, game 4 should be interesting.

Well, by a goal. And the game should have been over but Barbashev beat Bob clean, but hit the post.

Hey man, just trying to rib you. Most people don’t give a play by play of what they were doing during the game but happy to hear you’re playing hockey I guess.

I assume you’re self aware enough to realize why people are giving you a hard time in this thread.

22 of his 24 points are primaries. That's crazy.

Missing Saturday too...

But in an amazing stroke of irony a client called and invited me to game 5 in Vegas. Thanks to the Panthers win I am going to my first ever SCF game and I'm pretty excited.
