I believe that if the canucks prevail and win the series, they will go to the finals at least. and most likely win it.

But the increase in GF may not be random either, after all if 12 forwards all try to fill one player's spot it is conceivable that there will be an increase- however the number is too small for me to take conviction in this argument.

So these wins must be mostly a result of the play from the other end of the ice, and in fact, they are."<br /><br />Just a question... how come it's not too small of a sample size to say its goals against but it is to small of a sample size to say goals for?<br /><br />Nicely written blog, but the logic at times is a bit ermm muddled.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5514661650566382389.post-61995185671036640512012-04-03T16:26:07.255-07:002012-04-03T16:26:07.255-07:00Nicely written man, great research and presentatio...Nicely written man, great research and presentation.

I think if Danny came back in the regular season the statistics would prove you right, but we all know that offensive numbers drop when you hit the playoffs. That said, I think the team will be better offensively but the stats won't show it.<br /><br />And don't pay those guys at CDC a mind you are doing everything right.

Or maybe a team that lost someone late in the year to an injury. At any rate I certainly hope you are right about the confidence remaining if/when Daniel returns to the line up for the play offs. In the meantime its been a pleasure to see these guys pull together as a team and really get themselves settled and in a "play off hungry" mood!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
