The O is not silent: ag-er-uh-foh-bee-uh. Maybe you’re thinking of agraphobia, which is hysterical fear of sex abuse. Either way, thanks for the attempted fact check.

Neil’s work is garbage. Obviously he has a connection to work for ESPN. Tavares is better than half the list.

Just a quick note about CORSI…I believe Greenberg manipulates the numbers by using standard Corsi vs relative CORSI. When you use Relative Corsi, it changes everything.

Neil Greenberg is an agraphobe! I would love for Neil to be a GM in the NHL lol his team would be horrible if he would pick Michael Neuvirth or Kostitsyn over Tavares, who is 5th in the NHL scoring race at age 21 on one of the lowest scoring teams in the league.

You want some statistics? 4th in the league in points. On a shit team. The isles are the only team in the LEAGUE with three 45 point scorers and they all play(ed) on his line.. By the way, before tavares they were all cut and picked up on wavers. I’m talking about 9th round pick matt moulson who tavares has turned into a 30 goal scorer and possibly 40 this year. And ranger trash PA Parenteau. Greenburg is a hack and this is just simply ignorant to say that tavares isnt a top 25 player in the NHL.

Last night in Carolina Tavares was the best player on the ice. He was way better than Stall. What ever the advanced stats might say Tavares is raising his game on a nightly basis. He is not 25 under 25. He is top 25 any age. For all the advanced stats he uses he has no way to quantify the diversity of the league and the random drafting each year that is caused by a team rebuilding.

If the man can’t take criticism he shouldn’t be publishing analysis at all. Howie’s point is that using you eyes on any given night, it’s obvious that Tavares is the best player on the ice. The claim that he doesn’t drive play is either the data being heavily influenced from his first season, or some other flaw in methodology. When advanced stats stop reflecting the real world, it’s best to take a step back. Tavares is now 6 points behind Malkin for the scoring title. Can Neil hide behind sabermetrics at years end if Tavares is holding the Art Ross Trophy?
