          LOL-- I was waiting for this.

          However I expected you to go further and proclaim them as the "real" runners -up sicne they did best against the Kings. I am astonished at your restraint

          • Ah, like the year he claimed his beloved San Diego Chargers were the 2nd best team in the NFL.

              Ask me how happy I am that the team pissed away a cup run that would have involved New Jersey, Phoenix, St. Louis and LA.

                When did I say that last year? Maybe years before, when they were 4-8 and went 8-8, after having a ridiculously high points for/points against

                Yeah, they went 8-8 and were +92, 6th best in the entire NFL, back in 2008. Expected W/L was 10-6, so they were a little over -2 wins.

                2010, they were 9-7 and the fifth best team in the entire NFL, with +119 points for/against. Expected W/L was 11-5, so they were -2.

                The Flutie led Chargers went 5-11 despite being +11. Expected W/L was 8.3, so they were -3.3.

                It's very hard to go +/- > 4

                    You're not happy. You're destroyed. And it's clear.

                      No, I'm not happy, not one bit. Especially not when the GM makes moves that weaken the team.

                      • Luongo, indeed.

                        Can you imagine how Vancouver would've done if they traded Luongo for some depth?

                          Right, because Schneider did so much better. They needed scoring depth, and they've traded COHO for a worthless sack of pucks.
