Should have left it at that but got overly salty about the shade and condescension being thrown my way.

poorly handled and I'm sorry for being a whiny asshole.

I have no idea. I don't really follow anything anymore.

If it's just a exhibition game, what's the big deal lol.

My one cent, Just make another exhibition game and call it ultra all star if you didn't make it and really wanna be apart if something that ultimately doesn't mean jack shit.

There isn't a single forward on any of the Great Lakes teams with a positive GA/TA ratio. Buffalo has the puck 2/3rds of the time when Luffy's on the ice while the Tampa players only have the puck half the time, so of course Fitted and Fiddler would have more takeaways and less giveaways. It would be more accurate to adjust those numbers for possession, but that still ignores factors such as centres generally having more takeaways.

I also have my doubts about using relative corsi to determine whether Luffy is making his team better or not, especially when he's only at -1%. That difference could easily be explained by the quality of competition he faces from playing on the top line. And once again, you can't directly compare relative corsis between teams since Buffalo's roster is so much stronger than Tampa's. If you put Luffy on Tampa, there's no doubt in my mind that he would be posting a positive relative corsi.

This is why I love you. Saved me the need to type all this out.

As an aside - "For a guy who’s one job is offense, Monkey D Luffy does not provide Buffalo more offense when he is on the ice". You can't seriously believe this right? When your interpretation of the stats leads you to a statement such as this, you should probably reconsider your interpretation of the stats.

No, interpretating statistics and doing math aren't the same thing.

BUF I am sorry that not everyone on your team made it this season. You're all very good and very special. Your ability to churn out elite talent is unmatched.

I am not on the committee, but I apologize on behalf of the community for this embarrassment. I sincerely hope it doesn't happen again. We need to do better as a community and ensure we get an appropriate amount of BUF players recognized each season. :(

I tried to be understanding of both sides but if you’re going to be a condescending ass maybe focus on helping TEX win a playoff series when it actually matters this season
