Hockeytown0001 7,652 Report post Posted April 8, 2011 Here's hoping. He's improved his play of late, the Wings will need it if Hank is out for any length of time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Konnan511 1,736 Report post Posted April 19, 2011 He's one of the guys I'm looking to really step it up with Z out for God knows how long. He better bring it. It's the playoffs, he always brings it and steps up his game, do your research. 1 Z and D for the C reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aussie_Wing 354 Report post Posted April 19, 2011 He is a different player in the playoffs. He steps it up a few notches, he's looked very good in all 3 games and was outstanding last night with so many strong shifts plus the GWG. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Konnan511 1,736 Report post Posted April 21, 2011 Through four games: NHL ranks: Points: 3rd +\-: 2nd Team ranks: Points: 2nd SOG: 3rd +\-: 2nd This is why he makes 3mil. Not for his average regular season statistics, but because he is one of the handful of players who actually plays better in the playoffs. 2 asoras and Aussie_Wing reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not that I'm knocking Fil's numbers because he's been stellar compared to practically everyone else in the playoffs, but your numbers are off.

NHL ranks: Points: 6th +\-: 4th Team ranks: Points: 2nd SOG: 3rd +\-: 4th Depends on how you interpret stats. If someone has 6 points and a dozen have 5 and player X has 4, I consider that player X is third in points while the people with 5 are tied for second. To each their own. Filppula is a beastttt. Well worth the money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aussie_Wing 354 Report post Posted April 28, 2011 Flip's got a big task this series. Scoring will be a bonus, to me he has to shut down their key guys, as noted above. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If someone has 6 points and a dozen have 5 and player X has 4, I consider that player X is third in points while the people with 5 are tied for second. To each their own. You would be wrong. I'll show you an example: Schembechler 10 points Carr 9 points Harbaugh 8 points Hoke 7 points Rodriguez 6 points Now, in this situation it's clear where everyone goes. But what if a scoring change happens and one of Lloyd Carr's goals is given to Brady Hoke. Schembechler 10 points Carr 8 points Harbaugh 8 points Hoke 8 points Rodriguez 6 points The order is the same, right? But now we have a three-way tie in second place. Does Rodriguez suddenly move up from 5th to 3rd? Of course not. Why? There are four people ahead of him, that makes him fifth. It's really easy. Really.

mmamolo 287 Report post Posted April 29, 2011 so if thyey are tied in points then how are they ranked then? alphabetically? They'd be tied for 2nd but that doesn't make the fifth ranked guy move into 3rd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Motown4013 350 Report post Posted April 29, 2011 Flip has been rock solid. This will be an ever bigger test for him... but for as much as people complain that he doesn't live up to his potential in the regular season, he always finds another gear in the playoffs. Go get em Flip!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eva unit zero 271 Report post Posted April 29, 2011 so if thyey are tied in points then how are they ranked then? alphabetically? The first tiebreaker is goals scored. This has determined the NHL's scoring leader three times. The second tiebreaker is games played. If two players have the same number of goals and assists, the one with fewer games is ranked higher. The third tiebreaker is who scored a goal first in the season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
