Anyone who understands how to win knows this

He brought in guys who plays with heart and grit. Moved away from the Denis Malgins and the Colin Blackwells and brought in warriors. The only time I can admit it and it rewarded him with a series win

I wonder why the season before when he brought Giordano and Blackwell, they didn't win a playoff series. I thought soft hockey wins you cups

Dubas would have a won by now (or at least more than one playoff series)

You don't believe in science I bet

Grit and warriors wins playoff series. Analytics, numbers, and calculators helps you to have a great regular season

Ah yes, soft hockey. That's why you're obsessed with josh "softer than holl" anderson.

You are saying GIo isn't a warrior? Rielly is an analytics darling and was the best player in the playoffs for the leafs.

You mean the guy that got beat up by RNH? Glad Brad Treliving moved away from Kyle Dubas' best friend

I don't look at numbers or analytics. Rielly is a warrior, he showed it on the ice

Giordano had a terrible playoffs lol

Half as many fights and less hits than justin holl, soft as a kitten on a pillow

Wish I could like this comment more than once.

Glad that we are admitting that Dubas loves soft hockey

lol

Wait until you hear about what tampa, vegas ans colorado think about analytics

And yet you want them to be even softer.
Also, your dubas obsession is getting kinda creepy dude, you cant talk about a single thing here without getting spun up about the guy

Compare Anderson's production to Järnkrok's.

Why? The only disappointment for me were Montreal, which was entirely due to poor coaching and goaltending. Campbell gave up some weak goals and Price didn't let in anything. And Keefe never adjusts. Tampa was the team to beat still and losing to them isn't surprising. They lost to Boston who was a top team and Washington when they were a top team too. Columbus was a 5 game series so I don't care about that much.

Florida was coaching as well. You don't get it because you don't see anything but hits and goonerh

You think Tampa would go after guys like Coleman and Goodrow if they followed analytics? You think they would go after Luke Schenn if they followed analytics? David Savard?

All Tampa did was bring in warriors and players who had grit and heart. I don't see them adding guys like Denis Malgin or Colin Blackwell

This is not the hill to die on, but Josh is a valuable player who has had the misfortune of playing for some bad teams.

I think, like a lot of Habs or the Bergevin era, he's overpaid by 1-1.5M

Bergevin had to overpay to get anyone to sign in Montreal. The one time he refused to overpay, he let Danault walk, which was foolish.

No one would hate Josh Anderson if he made 4M.

His contract is awful, I’d stay far far away

The stars need to elevate to being warriors, I won't disagree. But trading good players for 3rd line guys who don't do anything but hit and play horrible defence don't win. Anderson isn't a difference maker, he's a scrub. If he made 2 million, I would pay a 3rd for him maybe.

All I saw in the Florida series was Bennet rag dolling Knies around. I also remember when Tkachuk punched Marner in the face and all he did was laugh. Gudas dumped Kampf to the boards, did anyone do anything?

Gio's a warrior though, McCabe is someone you would call a warrior as well and he was brutal. Your eye test is just silly

They won the game Tkachuk did that so him punching Marner accomplished nothing. Bennet should have been suspended for that but the league doesn't ref in the playoffs

Yes, coleman and goodrow were analytics darlings and luke schenn had decent bottom pairing analytics and was by far their leaat used defender and many moons ago savard was also very well regarded analytically until he got old and hurt.
So yeah, tampa loves analytics.
I also find your weird little blackwell thing funny, like he was an all effort motor of a 4th liner and he was fine but you're acting like dubas brought him in to play on the top line.
