I'll be happy if they make it through the first 2 minutes without being scored on.

I suggest this game is a 65% must win.

Maybe even 68%

So what is the column HDCA/60? Is that not high danger chances against per 60 minutes? Lindholm’s number is the highest.

The "CODE" tags have the column heading off by one. Look at 19.8 vs 18.5

It's been so long since I've donated that I can't find the link anymore, can anyone help? (Bingo?)

Also, i will donate $10 to CP for every goal Bennett scores today, and $20 to CP for every goal Jankowski scores today.

Must win? No. Should win, especially since it means getting back in a playoff spot - Yes.

Some will say it's October so who cares about a playoff spot yet, but I want this team to stay comfortably in the top 2 division spots not be fighting their way in from the outside all year long

Must-wins only occur when you “must win” to stay in contention.

There are no must-wins this early in the season, or for most of the season at that (unless you’re the Oilers).

It’s not a must-win.

You want to win as many games as possible early to lessen or eliminate all-together the amount of must-win games at the end of the season, but it’s crazy talk to call a game in October a “must-win.” In fact, you want to win as many games as possible throughout the entire season. The value of this win is no different than the value of the last one, or the next one.

I'll match that.

I hope we both lose terribly too. I think Bennett is going to score 30 this year.

Flames always seem to struggle against lundqvist. Hoping that trend is broken today

It's pretty simple, you just integrate each players Rhdcp%/60^2 as a function where F/=0 and that means goals.

I'd like to see a lineup like one of the following at some point:

Gaudreau-Monahan-Lindholm
Bennett-Backlund-Tkachuk
Dube-Ryan-Neal
Frolik-Jankowski-Czarnik

Gaudreau-Monahan-Tkachuk
Bennett-Lindholm-Neal
Dube-Backlund-Frolik
Jankowski-Ryan-Czarnik

Gaudreau-Monahan-Lindholm
Tkachuk-Backlund-Dube
Bennett-Ryan-Neal
Frolik-Jankowski-Czarnik

I know he's been hurt so I won't read too much into it but I don't like Dube on the 4th line.

I hate when I have a good feeling about a game. I'm usually wrong.

Maybe I just double jinxed the superstition and the trend reverses?
