Carter is terrible. He cannot play. Why did we draft him. He only scores in blowouts. Just because every other team in the league always try to trade for him just goes to show you what they know about hockey. I would move him for a six pack of beer and it can even be warm.:sarc asm:
...the moment I watched that happen, I knew someone was going to bring it up.
It happens to everyone some time.
Yep, Carter's been playing well lately in the goal scoring department. I just hope he can keep it up. You know who has been playing terrible lately, Mike Richards. He doesn't skate hard to pucks and he took himself out of the play trying to make hits on the play where Bobrovsky made an outstanding pad save on Goligoski.
Carter has recently gone through some awful ****, with him being sick, losing weight and the death of his grandfather and honestly, the way he's playing, he's making his grandfather proud. Carter has been playing like a man on a mission and I love it.

He had a nice goal last night and a three point night the game before. I don't think you know what you're looking at.
if the flyers win the cup with carter on the team i guarantee that down the road he'll have his number retired and everyone who bashed him will talk about him with a glimmer in their eyes.

calling it.
You're just saying that because he's got a legit shot to be the first Flyer in franchise history with 500 goals.
I wonder how many people are going to write articles saying how it's time for Flyers fans to appreciate Carter when he doesn't produce anything in the playoffs.
Throw the regular season out the window. To me, this is the real Jeff Carter and until he proves otherwise, when it counts the most, in the playoffs, he will forever be classified as an underachiever in my book.
Now, before I get all kinds of hate thrown my way, I hope he goes out and carries us to a Stanley Cup this year. So please, don't get it twisted. I do not hate Jeff Carter. I want Jeff Carter to succeed. It's just that for me, he's got to do it in the playoffs.
In this case the small sample sizes are much more important than the larger ones.
No they're not, you just imbue them with greater importance which leads to misguided statistical analysis.
Carter has been hurt (or a struggling rookie) for over half his playoff games. Imagine if you took 40 random games from his career... some from his rookie year, and 50% of him playing hurt... you think he'd have good numbers in those games?
Oh I see the regular season is more important than the playoffs.
Neither is more important than the other... in each case you are talking about hockey games being played under the same exact rules in the same exact league. You need to stop assuming one set of data is "more important" than the other, that's the first poor assumption you're making if you're going to try and engage in a statistical analysis.
So, save the face palm, you're ignorantly using statistical information to make a faulty point.
Of course, I bet you hated Gagne in the playoffs, too.
