Covo has 9 Giveaways on the season, tied with Tim Gleason for the Canes lead. That is way way off the NHL Giveaway leader...drum roll please....Duncan Keith, who has committed 24 Giveaways according to NHL.com.
Those stats are ABSURD! I remember a couple weeks ago watching the Canes and Corvo made 3 blatent giveaways in a 20 second span, and not 1 of them was recorded as a giveaway.

Arent you an Oiler fan along with me Comish, you know how often the Oilers make horrible giveways but they are rarely credited as giveways. I dont trust Statisticians at all!

ps. nice trade, thats a steal.

edit: Ill admit Corvo has been better than McBain at even strength, no doubt about it. But when your PP is struggling that bad, time for a change.

I think that was the main point I was trying to get across, exactly HOW are those stats counted, otherwise it's just goofy to include them. I totally HATE using plus/minus as a category, but hockey has such few useful stats and even if it's flawed, it's not subjective, you are either on the ice or not for a goal scored.

As for Corvo, I suspect a number of his giveaways come by trying to make/force passes aggressively up the ice. If he was horrific, there's no way Maurice would keep going to that well, when he has so many other choices. I guess what I'm trying to say is that he's not likely as bad as you think defensively, even though to your eyes he's brutal.

Yes I am a fellow Oil fan my good man!! Excellent win tonight against Chicago. Haha, 14 seconds and Edmonton wins! Sorry Hawks fans!

Yes I've always disliked him. He was making brutal giveways in Ottawa years ago. I was shocked when the Caps brought him in last year before the playoffs, he's not the kind of dman they needed and it cost them. But I'll try to ignore my bias, he's not so bad.

Feels damn good to beat the Hawks the way the Oil have this year after the way CHicago manhandled Edmonton last year. Great win!
