PART DEUX

@Barbarossa

   What happened?  Twisted knee?

@Barbarossa

 Maybe chiropractor can help with other stuff until knee is fixed?

sorry , had to run some errands

fell down stairs in the rain wearing flip-flops , twisted my knee while falling and going all the way done 

10-11 weeks ago , and its not really getting better 

Wow.  No idea.  Yeah those flip fops get you in the rain.  

So, the doctor says wait and see in a couple weeks?

dumped them , will never wear flip flops again 

yeah , this happened in Sedona , AZ , just a few hours into a holiday , went to a reiki master , and then back home to Urgent care , x rays , i was told this would most likely heal within weeks , i read 2-3 months ... now i guess in the sports injury clinic they ll make an MRI , hope it can be fixed with PT , not surgery 

Yeah Hopefully just takes a bit more time to heal

@Barbarossa

 They are redoing the surface area around the pool here.  Before it had some random white lines in a few places.  If you stepped on one of those white lines with flip-flops when it was wet it was very scary.  I nearly went down a couple of times.

Thankfully they are not putting the white lines on the new surface.

So, I can only imagine going down stairs and falling.

@Raiders22

 my own fault , stupid , after all it could have been much worse , broken arm , leg , hip ,  , spine , head , got lucky i guess 

 4 weeks prior to the accident i started PT , Neck Shoulder Lower back focus , i was doing so great , pain almost gone , of course now all back , most exercises require using your legs 

yep , flip flops are dangerous on certain surfaces 

you were right , take it easy in the NHL the first weeks , doing much better now , 10-6 today

open games

Colorado 

San Jose and over 5.5

Vancouver and over 6

Anaheim und under 6.5

@Barbarossa

 You see these videos of folks falling down icy stairs and stuff.  Falling awkwardly and suddenly and unexpectedly can be very dangerous.  Especially if you hit the back of your head.  Or as the elderly when they fall and break a hip, etc.

Glad it was not worse for you at least.

Ugh.  I started okay.  But now slightly underwater.  Good day today.  Great day if Vancouver goes over and SJ covers +1.5

 seen it too often with my grandfather and father in law , thank God they always fell lucky 

11-8

Azul ml

u got a good page for NHL stats , Power rankings etc ? 

Azul with a RC -- now they will not score a man down like the teams I went against today   Maybe they can at least NOT let the other team score.

@Barbarossa

 This is what I posted a few weeks ago about some of that:

These are some of the ones I think will help you get started.  Whenever you have some free time just go over some of the basics.  That way you will get an idea of what you like.

Covers.com, NHL.com, and some other basic sites will have a lot of the standard stuff to look at that may actually be enough to get started.

The difference with the ‘new’ analytics statistics compared to standard ones is that they are designed to clear out ‘noise’ and concentrate on ‘efficiency’.

This started in MLB and has transitioned to all sports.  Because of the number of games they work better for MLB, somewhat better for NHL, and a tad better for NFL.

You can sort these out by season for various categories and by home/away and by last 10, etc.:

There are plenty of good stuff on:

https://www.hockey-reference.com/analytics/

https://evolving-hockey.com

https://www.naturalstattrick.com/teamtable.php

Stuff to read that helps explain what to maybe look for and use:

https://www.defendingbigd.com/nhl-guide-to-hockey-analytics-advanced-stats-corsi-expected-goals-war/

This is detailed math that explains some things.  It explains why analytics and predictive models are somewhat different in NHL than in MLB, where they started.

You can skip this one if you are not too interested in the minutia.

@Barbarossa

 I am not sure which type you would like best.  But there are plenty of them.  Maybe one of those will work or lead you to one you might like.

Thank you very much , just took a screenshot , will check them all out 

UGH! RC going to kill Azul game 

hard to beat a corrupt ref , red card and pk against them 

@Barbarossa

 If those do not work and you want just power ratings or rankings there are places that have those.  A couple I like:

https://www.oddsshark.com/nhl/power-rankings

https://www.versussportssimulator.com/NHL/rankings

But there are many others from sportswriters and ESPN, USAToday, etc.

Yep. They not even gonna draw  Just get a RC and give up two goals and lose.

11-9  Better than a losing day I guess -- just barely 

Jackets 3-3 , over hits
