Morphinity 2.0

I don't want to call it "gifting" minutes, but 1st overall picks usually go to teams with more ice time to spread around. Connor Bedard wasn't going to be playing 3rd line minutes on the Blackhawks this year because they have a borderline NHL roster. These top level players just develop better with more ice time, more puck touches, and more freedom. Unfortunately the AHL wasn't available to him because that really should have been the move. We've discussed this ad nauseum though.

Yeah, a lot of it is pointing out how many more puck touches Lafreniere is getting vs. his previous years. And he credits that to a) playing with Panarin and b) getting more leash from his coaches. I don't completely blame Gallant. As they said in the beginning of the video, he's a kid coming onto a team trying to win right away with a logjam at LW ahead of him. So he's already behind the 8-ball in terms of optimal development for an elite talent. Some of it falls on Quinn's and Gallant's coaching style for sure, but I'm not sure how another coach would have squeezed even more out of him early in his career.

Dimitri Filipovic had Daryl Belfry on and they broke down Laf's improvement aided by a sizzle reel:

If this happens, I'll buy your plane ticket for the parade.

And Clear Sight focuses mainly on scoring chances and actual quality of shots whereas something like Sportlogiq drills down on a lot of smaller stats like puck retrievals, zone entries, etc.. There's a lot of variety out there depending on philosophy of the company. Pretty much across the board I've heard that public models/data is garbage.

Rangers in 6 because nothing is ever easy for this team. I fucking hate the Capitals and their stupid goal siren, cheer horn, and mouthbreathing fans. At least Braden Holtby isn't around anymore.

Kaapo Kakko is third on the team in points and scores 6 goals to go with his 5 assists.

Yeah you know how this goes. There's no in between.

The Red Wings still have no idea who their goaltender is. Give me that team.

Yes, absolutely. Went from Verizon to Mint to Google Fi without losing my number.

Google Fi is T-Mobile only.

I used to use Mint Mobile, maybe about 6 or 7 years ago. The price can't be beat, but I found the cell service to be sub-par. I'd often have people tell me they tried to call me and the call wouldn't go through or text me and I never would receive the text. One time I didn't get an important call, and I immediately unsubscribed. This is when I was living in NYC, so I wasn't out in the boonies. Maybe it's better now, but I can't trust them. Right now, I'm on Google Fi and I have been since I dropped Mint. Google Fi is totally fine for me - I don't use much data so my phone bill is rarely higher than $35/month. I don't have any issues with anyone being able to reach me. I would say go for it and give it a shot for a month or two. A nice thing about these MVNOs is they have little to no contract obligations, so you can hop around to find what works best for you.
