It doesn't often result in goals directly but another way of moving the puck is always good. I doubt it makes a huge difference, I was legitimately curious. I'm not a big stats guy in hockey in general, it's so hard to account for all the variables but they are good tools still. I am always curious about what the include how they're calculated etc.
These are true statements but it does not mean that someone from the couch can not have an expert opinion that Tyson Nash does not know how to perform color commentary or Wayne Gretzky doesn't know how to coach in the NHL because the person making the statement has never played hockey. It does not mean that someone, can't be a GM, owner, coach, scout, etc. in the NHL because they've never played hockey.
True. More reason for Maloney to make some moves so we have something less semantical to argue about.
You may be right. As far as I can tell Doug Cannon has never been a television color commentator for hockey which is probably why he is unqualified to decide whether or not Tyson Nash should be on staff as only color commentators can be experts on color commentating.
