i always feared becoming a toxically mean sports person about rivalries and injuries and fannish expression i never even thought about the kind of person id be in the face of under-researched trade proposals + sloppy player evaluations. is anyone watching the games or do we just clock in at the fantasy hockey factory and go buck wild without regard for the game that is being played in front of our eyes

#yeah secondary assists totally dont matter until you watch the games and that puck was won by the guy who got the secondary assist #and broke the puck out of the zone cleanly haha tactical empathy doesnt exist there are no players who are #exceptionally good at understanding how to pass in a way that doesnt handcuff their teammate and those skills make NO difference #to a players performance its all just vibes-based and also the data tells me everything yippee <3 #how can people be so fucking wrong about the eye-test AND stats AND synthesising them to come to a coherent and correct evaluation #deep breaths. we r all learning we r all engaging with teams on different terms we r all valid etc etc.#puckposting
