I'm going to assume that's the IRL version and not the 2p2 SE version, lol

yeah i'll take the under on 70, ldo

If Schultz plays 76 games (or if you multiply his ppg by 76), and he has 70 points or less, I'll never post on 2+2 again.

You'll probably just come back as T and complete your username evolution.

If you multiply his ppg by 76 and he has less than 70 ...

Ya, I put that in so I can't win on a technicality if he plays 75 or 74 games due to the flu or something.

me?

if so, yeah i'll end up as Triumph72, a big NY Jets fan, or something...

bring back messier

No he meant me lol.

i lost that one and a couple others when 2p2 died

it's just easier to make new ones

edit: oh yeah i see it now, TJB

Something along those lines.

I can't tell who's who with the gimmicks. Should I know who Big Country is?

Lol hilarious.

That guy does make a sick argument for smytty being coach though...

That said I don't welch on bets. 71 points by Schultz or ill never post again under any user name. I'm not worried. Just basing it on numbers/stats I'm like a 99% favorite. Obv he is probably playing above expectation, but there's no reason to think his production will drop by more than half. I'm just pointing out how ridiculous that claim was.

Na he's not that important

wp, Geddy!

nope

big country is 72o/henrik sedin/mark messier/maybe someone else. i think. should be demodded for picking a hoops avatar imo.

TJ: why are you betting against no one to not post here anymore?

i mean if you just don't wanna post here anymore kool, but...

He is both very good and running hot, I don't see why the two have to be mutually exclusive. Right now he's shooting almost 20% which is unheard of for a defenseman - even the best D shooting years are hardly over 10% in the NHL. I imagine he's helped by having such talented players around him, but I also imagine that he is running crazy hot.

that made me look up bobby orr's stats. never had a ridiculous s% but he led the league (all skaters) in shots twice. so sick.

Gretzky "ran hot" when he scored 92 in '82

I'm not being facetious here - it's good to see you post this. I think some of us from the more old school camp have felt over the last while that the variance discussion gets slightly too hyperbolic at times or takes over the narrative completely; when we see things like "running hot," our immediate reaction is defensive, for better or worse.

fwiw, I've heard the following opinion stated repeatedly: "according to Badgers players and fans, he's better than Gardiner." And I think the world of Jake Gardiner's skillset. If that's all his ceiling was, he'll be a damn good blueliner in this league, imo.

I mean, I know it's almost sacrilegious to say, but for me, Orr is the undisputed GOAT. No era adjustment, no special consideration for being a defenceman, none of that...just quite simply the GOAT.

How is that sacrilegious. He's ****ing Bobby Orr.

agreed. back to the ol' avatar

There were also articles and posts on here about how eberle was running hot with shooting percentage last year (18.9%). He's currently at 22.2% this year (albeit in the AHL and a 54 shot sample size).

Just because a small sample size can be skewed doesn't mean it is.

That's how sure I am that he won't fall that far off the 119 point pace he has set so far.
