Sujet: Ranking Canadian Division
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Saskleaf</b></div><div>They are at least in the same tier, if not Toronto in a tier above I agree.</div></div>

I would support that the 2 teams are in the same tier, not sure how one could possibly argue that Toronto is a tier above. Currently the 2 teams have played the same number of games, and Montreal has one more point. They have also been dominating some teams, and realistically have been the better team in every game they have played so far this year. As the season progresses and games continue to be played in a very condensed schedule, this will further benefit Montreal. They do not have the top end talent that Toronto does, but they can roll all 4 lines evenly without losing anything on the ice. Really, if not for some ridiculous breaks in the first game of the season, Montreal would be 4 points up on Toronto at this point of the season. Montreal also has not benefitted from playing the weakest team in the division yet. The season will have many ebbs and flows for both teams over the next few months, and it will be fun to watch.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>deys3232</b></div><div>Yeah thats fair, but at the end of the day, I can only rank what I see on the ice. I cant assume that a player would do ________ if they were ________</div></div>

And this is the irony of it all. You are not ranking players based on what you see on the ice. You are ranking players based on a series of formulas, calculations, and computations, which require almost zero hockey knowledge and without the need to watch a single minute of a single game. There is a reason all teams send scouts across the world to actually WATCH players perform on the ice before and after they are drafted. There is a reason teams do not sign players to contracts based on these formulas, but instead rely mainly on their hockey knowledge, and what they see happen on the ice. Analytics will always have a supporting role with the decision making process, but nothing will come close to actually watching a player perform in hockey games, with many different and unique scenarios unfolding each period, to determine how good a player is.
