You bring enough to share with the class?

I couldn’t imagine why
But good work, I enjoyed it
You probably think it was the scoring/passing gaps but that was never the primary reason Hamilton did well in s50-s52, which is why the requirement to have a passer on each line barely affected our win %. Of course, having good scoring helped but good defense, low checking, high-ish discipline and good lines were equally as important, if not more important.

You mean the season where we improved from 3rd in the overall standings to 2nd despite all the changes and lost to another good team? Give it a rest

It's like you've never seen sths randomness before. Simon t is too random in small sample sizes, e.g. Toronto made the playoffs over NEW this season but if you sim 250-game seasons that would never happen.
Narconis finished with a .931 sv% in the S51 playoffs but if you sim 800 games no goalie would have sv% above .908-.912. In other words, our playoff run in S51 was primarily driven by luck and high pdo, then the opposite happened in S52, but we had the same chance to win in s51 and s52 (58-60%)
I know teams that lost in the playoffs despite winning close to 70% of games in test sims, having a good win % in tests doesn't mean you're gonna win, in fact the best team rarely wins the cup in sths.

We weren't disciplined at all against Buffalo. It would probably end up a different series if we weren't on the PK 27 times against them. which was 6 less than our S51 finals run.

No, it's the offseason dummy.

I’m glad my rankings have been widely accepted and not at all controversial
