GDT #17: 2024/11/12 - One more shit before the storm

[zeke]

Tonight ends the recovery tour against the shits of the league. Hopefully they close it out with a win. That would get them almost recovered from their shaky start, and back on 106pt pace. Still not good enough but pretty good.

And hopefully its a win because things get a little bit more difficult the rest of the month. Starting tomorrow where they hilariously play their 5th back to back in the first 33 days of the season, this time against the super hot Caps, and then follow that up with EDM VGK UTA FLA TBL to end the month, mostly very good teams. At least all those games will come with 2-3 days rest between them, tho, so hopefully they can finally get healthy. And then of course there's four more back to backs in december.

Under duress from LoF's math limitations, and annoyed by Dom's laziness / proprietry, I've decided to try and manually update the player Net Ratings myself, combining their pre-season projections with their current season totals and pacing that out for 82gms. Not quite sure what to do with the guys that didn't get a preseason rating yet but i'll figure something out. This results in only minor changes so far but that's to be expected.


Lineups:

I assume Benning was waived because Hak is ready to go. And you can't teach 6'7 to anyone else so he probably gets in.

 

[Wayward DP]

what a sad little rebuild from baby bro

 

[LeafOfFaith]

What would we do if zeke wasn't independently wealthy and had to work instead of play with Leafs stats all day?

Equally intriguing, what would zeke do if he wasn't independently wealthy and had to work instead of play with Leafs stats all day?

[LeafOfFaith]

I'm pretty good with math, actually. Probably 10% of my job is numbers related.

I will not lower myself to number crunching David Kampf's xg stats, however.

Zero doubt that she’s immediately the best we got. Not that it’s a high bar.

 

[CTheBigPicture]

We have so much to still improve in society.

Amazing that it took this long for the country's premium sports channel to have a female play by play.

RIP lof

omigod i can't believe how shrill she sounds.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

RIP lof

Not gonna lie. : (

 

[LeafOfFaith]

omigod i can't believe how shrill she sounds.

All I can hope for is that when she gets asked about a play, she tells us, let's back up and that she grew up with a single mother who held two jobs, and never says anything about the play.

 

[zeke]

like you proudly hate women. kinda weird tbh.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Yeah, I proudly hate women because I prefer men to call a men's professional sport, which is what's happened since the beginning of time until just recently.

 

[zeke]

and it also has something to do with the woman who just ran for president for some reason.

 

[Aberdeen]

Men have been calling professional sports since the beginning of time?

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Well yeah, because of your shrill voice comment which can only refer back to that.

 

[mbow30]

Well it’s clear that LoF prefers the company of men for a sports night, wings, sports commentary and a good butt fuckin.

 

[zeke]

male broadcasters have definitely earned their permanent unquestioned spot with their top-notch high-quality universally loved performances across the board.
