The library at Indiana University sinks about 1" into the ground each year because the engineer's failed to account for the weight of the books

yeah, I can't believe this one.  It's just stupid.  Like they have "books" at a college library anyway


Wait.  Is there even an Indiana University?  I heard that was just a dark Knight tale...

Damn DC....what the hell is going on in Detroit.  They have lost 10 in a row.  That's downright sad.  I really had not been paying much attention, but looked at the standings today.  OOOH  FAHHHH

[richkrt99]

Caps offensive lines combined +/- ratings:


Ovie  Backy Willy:  +2


Vranna Kuzy Oshie:  +17


Hags Eller Panik:  +13


Lepper Dowd Hathy:  +6


(these figures are a SUM of the players' +/- on each line, NOT the average)




Well it IS the boredom thread.  Just thought peeps might overlook the third line defensive responsibilities.  And yes, I DO realize these lines change and that skews the figures.


Jensen is currently a -9 and Mr Norris is +19


Little surprised Johhny Q Norris is only +19.  He has 45 points in 33 games, so apparently he lacks in the defensive defensemen area a bit  (man do I miss what's his name - the Canadian guy who loved to stroke Johhny and ALWAYS came to his defense no matter what.  He would be going bonkers with me even hinting at the fact the JQDN is NOT the best defensman on the team...league...planet)

So here we are....no game on the radar so....




Chain saws were originally invented to aid in childbirth


Wombat poop is cube shaped


4% of sand on Normandy beach is broken down shrapnel from D-Day


there are more public libraries than McDonalds


Buzz Aldrin's mother's surname was Moon  (for those of you who believe the earth is round)


The sun and the moon appear to be the same size in the sky (to us) because the moon is 1/400th the size of the sun, but orbits the earth (again, for you globeheads) at 1/400th the distance between the earth and sun.


The population in California is more than the population in Canada (and that's without counting the illegals)


A 17" pizza is more pizza than two 12" pizzas

And if you go south from Detroit, you are in Canada

[alta]

ok, except for the Detroit thing, now you are just making up cubed shit

Everyone knows the Earth is cube shaped!

But remember, PP points do NOT add to the + however PK points DO add to the - <----a pk unit gets a + while the PP unit gets a - when the PK unit scores however a pp unit does NOT get a + and the PK does NOT get a - when a PP unit scores


Johnny Norris with alot of PP points maybe?

Plus-Minus[/B]A player is awarded a "plus" each time he is on the ice when his Club scores an even-strength or shorthanded goal. He receives a "minus" if he is on the ice for an even-strength or shorthanded goal scored by the opposing Club. The difference in these numbers is considered the player's "plus-minus" statistic.

I enjoy this thread.  That article on Wombat poop was interesting.

The funny part is that "Yang" has dedicated her CAREER to the study of the fluid mechanics of bodily functions like urination and defecation"


Really?  Dedicated a career to this?


I bet she is a real hoot to party with.

Yes probably so, but the PK points against would surely be nearly zero so that's not gonna be a real factor.  Basically you'd get a minus if you were on the ice and the other team scored a shorty.  That happens like 5 times a year maybe?


I looked it up.  Caps have given up 2 SHG this year.  No idea if Carlson was on for those.  Likely for at least one I'd say as he is a main PP guy.


Carlson has 14 PP points, so those don't affect the +/-
He has 45 total points so 31 points at even strength


He is a +19 with 31 Even strength points.  Don't know if that's really a measure of anything....other than he scores alot, for which I am grateful


By the way, my original post was not a knock on JQNC defensive abilities...I just thought leading the team in points that his +/- would be better.  But then, the Caps do give up their share of goals so....meh.
He IS leading the team in +/- so....


He is having a great year....
