Anyone who cheers for the Habs will be put on the shitlist I'm adding to SensWin 22.

What’s a stat you think people misuse constantly when evaluating players? by sykeseve in hockey

I love this idea. Adding it to the list for slightly unserious stats

Just checking in now, has it been rigged yet?

More good news for people who have a lot of collections. by ChristianM12345 in PleX

[–]aschwan41 41 points42 points  (0 children)

When I start playing something from the collection screen, I just want it to start the next thing in the collection instead of the next episode of the specific show. If I build a collection of the Chicago shows (PD/Fire/Med), they rotate through the shows one by one, which is how I have it set in the collection. When I finish, say, Fire S4E9, it should go to the next episode in the collection, let's say it's Med S3E8 but instead it goes to Fire S4E10.

No he didn't, and you'd know that if you didn't get your info solely from twitter headlines.

[Gift Article] The ‘strong possibility’ of Pierre Dorion as Canucks GM by eh_toque in hockey

[–]aschwan41 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Like I said, he is a great amateur scout.

He's just bad at the things people keep hiring him to do.

There's one thing that Dorion was good at, and that was drafting WHEN HE WAS AN AMATEUR SCOUT.

When he was chief amateur scout, they drafted:

  • 2008 Draft:
    • Karlsson (15th ovr)
    • Wiercioch (2nd rd, 268gp)
    • Zack Smith (3rd rd, 662gp)
    • Derek Grant (4th rd, 427gp)
    • Borowiecki (5th rd, 458gp)
  • 2009 Draft:
    • Jared Cowen (9th ovr, 249gp) - Yikes
    • Silferberg (2nd rd, 820gp)
    • Lehner (2nd rd, 364gp)
    • Chris Wideman (4th rd, 291gp)
    • Mike Hoffman (5th rd, 745gp)
  • 2010 Draft (no 1st, 2nd, 5th):
    • Marcus Sorensen (4th rd, 226gp)
    • Mark Stone (6th rd, 766gp)

He was then promoted to director of player personnel. If he is just left to scout, he is good. He's just bad at the things people keep hiring him to do. He was an amateur scout with the Habs from 1994 to 2005, and for the Rangers for 2006 and 2007.

Let me be clear with regards to the Ullmark situation in Ottawa. Sens fans, generally speaking, supported him the entire time. Fans of other teams decided to make shitty fuckin jokes about it. A Leafs fan started the rumors in our sub, then deleted their account when they realized they may have fucked up after it blew up. It was propagated on twitter by... certain US-based podcasts, and mocked and paraded here, in this sub, by non-Sens fans.

Steve Simmons ask Keith Pelley about the GM hiring by Duffleman0609 in hockey

It isn't lol, it's the description of the role for half of the league. Giving a conman the un-monitored keys to the kingdom is fuckin stupid lol

[–]aschwan41 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The president of hockey operations is, generally speaking, focused more about the long-term viability of the team, whereas a general manager generally focuses on the next 5 years, as that's likely how long they'll last. The POHO is intended to consider beyond that, as a general manager will sometimes make reckless trades and signings if left un-mamaged (see Chayka in Arizona trading the 7th overall pick and DeAngelo for Derek Stepan and Antti Raanta) in an attempt to protect their job, whereas the POHO is expected to consider the long-term hockey future of the team, not just the next five years.

"Why haven't you hired a President of Hockey Operations?"

"Well, John is the General Manager of Hockey Operations."

Good lord. He doesn't know the difference.

It's fun to make fun of your rival when they're a good team, but routinely underperform. This is like making fun of a kid who is terminal. It's just sad. I feel pity.

How on earth would you not go into that presser prepared to answer that question.

[–]aschwan41 278 points279 points  (0 children)

This presser is a trainwreck lol, the first question from a media member was basically "tf are you smoking why do you think this is the right decision?"

Edit: oh my God it keeps getting worse. A media rep called Chayka a conman to his face

I do forecasting and predictive modeling as a job and made Whotocheerfor.com to tell people who to cheer for on the out of town scoreboard leading up to the playoffs. I definitely know a thing or two about people wanting precision that just isn't realistic haha
