Beware of small sample sizes.
It’s something that we’ve probably heard ad nauseum by now, watching and covering hockey. We’re constantly reminded how wildly things can fluctuate in smaller groupings of game and then equalize over a larger sample, and warned not to jump to conclusions without taking the full picture into account. We’ve been reminded time and again, but perhaps we need to be reminded once more.
It’s old news by now, but earlier this week, the Flyers made a couple of cuts, and some of them came as a bit of a surprise.
