    This is where the analytics folks begin to lose me. They’ll claim the regular season has more statistical significance than the playoffs, thus those results should matter more. And while from a stats standpoint that does make sense, it doesn’t take into account the reality that the two types of games are actually played very differently. But since that difference is extremely difficult to quantify, they simply pretend it doesn’t exists.

    I can watch Artemi Panarin in the regular season and in the playoffs and totally understand that the guy’s regular season stats are likely inflated by the fact that defenses play a lot looser in the regular season. Just because you haven’t been able to quantify that yet doesn’t mean it isn’t real.

    The playoffs *should* matter more for the stats guys. They just need to find data points that are plentiful enough in a small number of games to prove that point.

    There are also some players who just find it hard to truly show-up for 82 meaningless regular season games but then find an extra gear in the playoffs when everything is on the line. David Krejci being a prime example (led the playoffs in scoring twice) and he even admitted as such.

    It's really weird to me that Vas is not the expected Conn Smythe winner should the Lightning win. The Lightning are +250 to win the Cup on average and Vas is +550 to +850 to win the Conn Smythe. I know he's not a lock but he has to be the favorite right?

    He's +700 even though the Oilers are only +550. I agree with you to a point, I think he can win even if they don't win the final but I doubt he gets it without beating Colorado

    Yes. Honestly Toronto outplayed Tampa and he kind of stole the series. Florida didn’t play up to their standard, but after that he dominated the presidents trophy winners.

    The way Campbell wrote that about Foote almost makes it sound like the agent knows something went down. Look I can’t confirm it happened or not but rest assured IF it did my guy was not involved.

    lol that’s how I feel as well, but I guess once the first agent denied it, you may as well keep going.

    That said, this shit is so prevalent in hockey that a reckoning on this scale likely needs to happen. Continue with the jihad, Ken.

    going down the list of agents for comment is perfectly fine. it’s tweeting all their responses as you receive them I have issue with. eventually you’re going to narrow this down and one agent lies (or was lied to by their client) and people are going to jump to conclusions about someone just because their agent failed to respond.

    Oh your point is valid, but I assume that since there has been a settlement we will know who the players in question are in the near future. That’s why I assume the agents want it out there if they’re being told by their players it isn’t them.

    who would've thought taking the 2nd most penalties in the league would be a bad thing in the playoffs?

    It kind of feels like Ken enjoys the spotlight on this a bit too much. I feel kind of yucky saying that because it’s obviously very important reporters pursue it as doggedly as he is. Just feels like there’s a lot of ‘look at me’ with his approach

    For Trouba’s standards (which are quite low), that one was fairly innocent. Majority of the contact was shoulder to shoulder. Hope Jarvis is okay. Looked like he was on another planet.

    It’s just unfortunate the league has made it clear that a hit like that is ok. The NFL has realized concussions are bad for business- I have to assume hockey will too, eventually.

    The nfl never banned tackling, which is pretty much what that was in term if we make a comparison from sport to sport. That was just a hit.

    It was a high hit after the puck was gone. He’s not concussed because it was a shoulder hit. I realize that is just modern hockey, but eventually that will have to change. The NFL totally rewrote their tackling rule book, and continues to tweak it every year. I’d imagine the NHL will too, but maybe not.

    May not be in this game, but the Rangers are cooked if they’re without Lindgren. They are absolute trash without him in the lineup.
