I know +/- doesn’t always tell the “best” story, but, Holy s!%# Taylor Hall is +14 since coming to @NHLBruins . Been caught up his overall play & pts and hadn’t noticed that number. Was -21 in BUF. Definitely is re-born as Curtis Lazar said yesterday

@BJaffe @NHLBruins Would you explain +/-? I do not understand it. Maybe on the podcast. Having my #MorningBru right now.

@BJaffe @DaleEArnold @NHLBruins He plays free now. Krejis been good for him. Supreme talent that doesn't have to carry the hopes and dreams of an entire franchise on his back. This guy is going to flourish here better put pen to paper now.

@BJaffe @NHLBruins +/- does indeed suck, but this example works because Hall's difference is entirely at 5v5 (15 GF, 1 GA). His xGF% is at 67.15, best on the team. Was 52.76 in BUF, which wasn't so bad considering, you know, BUF.

@Joseph33Bracken @NHLBruins I think what you’re really saying then is he’s been pretty decent in that regard with the Bruins?

@BJaffe @NHLBruins Agree it doesn’t always tell the whole story. In Halls case I see him finding happiness. Don’t we always tell kids to have fun, NHL players should also have fun playing. He looks like he is enjoying playing the game again, he didn’t look that way in Buffalo

@BJaffe @NHLBruins People make me laugh about +/-. no matter what you think of this stat, every single hockey player asks themselves if they were on for GA during a game, it still matters even if it is not a perfect Stat. Still more relevant than arbitrary Hits, Give Away and Take away stats.

@BJaffe @DaleEArnold @NHLBruins A two part question for you: what's the Bruins cap space look like for next season and what would it take to keep Hall in Boston for the foreseeable future?

@BJaffe @NHLBruins I love the +/- stat but think it definitely can say more about the play of the other 5 guys on the ice with you than your own play. In this case Hall’s play is clearly driving the stat. #signhimnow

@BJaffe @NHLBruins He has been playing a good 200 ft game since joining the Bruins! Hopefully he keeps it up. The real question is what is the pre-game meal today Billy? Chicken Parm from Bobs?

@BJaffe @NHLBruins +/- has always been a good indicator of worth, over time, and team dependent
