Hockey

If so, how should we go about it?

It's mid season and there doesn't seem to be much interest in this community while !Hockey@Lemmy.ca seems to be more regularly active. I was going to give it a full season, but I think the trend is pretty clear already.

Ref has had enough.

A few weeks ago, the NHL finally unleashed its long-awaited player tracking data onto the public. Now it’s time to dissect what it all means.

Sometimes, all it means is “that’s cool!” — and that’s OK. Sometimes a fun little tidbit is all a stat has to be. But it’s still worth looking into how meaningful all the new numbers are and what bucket they fall into: relevant info or interesting trivia.

Each new stat poses its own interesting questions worth answering and that’s the goal of this series; diving into the new data to see how much it matters.

Let’s talk about shooting.

#Sens owner Michael Andlauer says #NHL did not advise him of either investigation - botched Dadonov "no-trade" clause or Pinto sports betting incident - before he closed on purchase.

“Maybe they didn’t want to disrupt [it] to make sure the seller got the best price possible."

"Why I inherited this is beyond me," #Sens owner Michael Andlauer says of #NHL punishment forcing team to forfeit first-round draft pick from an incident 591 days ago.

He doesn't understand why it took the league so long to render a decision.

Resigned? Fired? #Sens owner Michael Andlauer says he met with GM Pierre Dorion last night and said the penalty for forfeiture of pick should be "no less" than his job.

"This could have been avoided."

Dorion agreed and they agreed to part ways.

Power Rankings are dumb, but I always read them.

Bye Babcock

That was fast
