kristen_shilton: Leivo will keep practicing and is not cleared to play per Babcock

There it is - Leivo is still on the IR.

So he is at Lou's Corner...

kristen_shilton: Leivo will keep practicing and is not cleared to play per Babcock

There it is - Leivo is still on the IR.

Full quote, via Kristen:

Because saying "we honestly just don't know what to do with him" would have probably been a little shady.

 

[herman]

Hey Lou, we see Josh Leivo's IR conditioning stint is up so who will be...
Lou:

 

[Highlander]

To quote the "Dude",  Leivo and Lou don't know "what condition his condition is in"

 

[Kin]

The Dude didn't say that, Kenny Rogers did.

 

[bustaheims]

The Dude didn't say that, Kenny Rogers did.

To be fair, a lot of people have said it. Kenny Rogers wasn't even the first - Mickey Newbury was. Rogers just made it famous.

That's a deep songwriting dive there.

Everyone knows the deep cuts are the best.

Corrado is 100% healthy, but not in Babcock's heart.

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

At a certain point should the PA intervene on Corrado's behalf?

This is seriously unfair to Frankie, it's damaging his career.

Kristen Shilton ‏@kristen_shilton
Mike Babcock says Martin Marincin is "out for a bit."

Or, as Left Wing Lock put it: Martin Marincin is expected to miss an undisclosed amount of time with an undisclosed injury.

 

[Kin]

Don't worry. All this subterfuge is bound to pay off big according to their three step plan.

Step One: Don't Disclose Injuries
Step Two: ?? ?? ??
Step Three: None of your business

 

[herman]

I'll laugh/weep when we sustain another injury and then call up Justin Holl to play over Corrado.

That tweet led me to this gem:

I should have pointed out he's a LeafHub'er, so to not actually go exploring through his feed.

Does that chart mean Hunwick is our best defenseman and Rielly is the worst?  I'm so confused now.

That chart means that GF% isn't a great statistic, especially in that small of a sample size. The author just doesn't get that. It's one of the more heated debate topics in the analytics community.

Too late, man. I actually had no idea Leafs Hub existed before so the warning probably would not have been heeded anyway (I like to explore). I understand there is a spectrum of belief in most things, but I didn't quite realize there would be one for facts. It's quite interesting.

And having gone through his feed, I now recognize where this guy's argument is coming from and why his super common name sounded so familiar. He's the one that responded to omgitsdomi's post about the 2% with a lot of small-sample GF%. Small-sample GF% is just statistical static.

His main argument for sticking with GF% is that replacing Hunlak with other 5/6D would not get the same GF% performance.
