NHL: Around the League 46

[x Tame Impala]

Aren't passing statistics supposed to start coming to the forefront in the Advanced Stats game? Thought i read that somewhere last year. Pass accuracy, passing distance, passes in the O-Zone at ES and on the PK, etc...

There are passing stats out there, mostly with pay sites. They're in the category of stats called 'micro-stats', along with stuff like puck recoveries, controlled zone exits and entries, etc.

They're tougher/more expensive to collect, because it requires having many people watch the same game and tag 'events' in a video system, which are then put into a database for tabulation and analysis. You need many pairs of eyes corroborating the same 'events' to make sure there's some level of consensus.

I know The Point and SportLogiq track them.

Yeah. They are also kind of subjective which complicates it a bit.

Watching Notre Dame play Wisconsin and they’ve got the free agent crawl going on the bottom.

Mikko Koivu as a Blue Jacket is gonna be weird.

 

[Kaners Bald Spot]

It's crazy that:
1. The Lightning haven't made any moves yet
2. Mike Hoffman, Mikael Granlund and a few others are still sitting there unsigned

Pretty good comp for Strome then

 

[Mrfenn92]

Yep. Don’t think he’ll get that high of a salary but either way just get him signed already.

 

[Pez68]

Nooooooo.

If Strome comes in at that price, meh.

Islanders Johnny boychuk retires from the nhl.
LTIR for him. Eye injury.

Lightning sign Sergachev to a 3 year $4.8 million aav extension

 

[ClydeLee]

Nice things are finally happening on their front. So they're now over the cap then, I see they had 3 mil prior to this.

Man, at that number, his next UFA deal is going to be bonkers.

$7.2 million qualifying offer due for the last restricted year

This kid’s shot is just ridiculous.

Pittsburgh Penguins told AHL coach to ‘stay quiet’ about wife's sexual assault, lawsuit says - TSN.ca

Disgusting. Go to the Wild's thread about this and watch them defend/absolve Guerin. Disguting.

Not a great look. Guerin probably ends up getting the boot. But more heads should roll with the penguins. No way the higher ups didn’t know about it.

You think Minnesota is going to fire Guerin?

 

[Mrfenn92]

I probably went a little quick with that take.
But it all depends on how the situation plays out and what comes of this.

I think what comes of it is the Penguins will settle and gag orders all around and Guerin will keep his job. Given that the coach was fired about a week after Guerin learned of the allegations, it's likely that they're credible so the Penguins are not going to go to court over this where their best argument is that the Skaldes didn't complain soon enough. If the case isn't dismissed, they will settle.

Also I hope Donatelli is blacklisted. He sounds like a serious predator, not a handsy drunk.

I would have murdered this mother f***er immediately.

Like I appreciate that's an instinctive response, but that's not a very good one. Life isn't an action movie and that sentiment towards partners of victims isn't really helpful, the idea that if that was my wife I would kill him because no you wouldn't.

It's a lot more complicated than that and the situation is really traumatic and difficult for the husband as well. No need to side eye the husband for not getting himself thrown in jail, even hypothetically.

And the fact that the incident is tied in with the husband's employment and that he probably the primary breadwinner in the family makes everything tougher.

Actually he (or I) just may. Because I would bring so many fists to his face that he actually may die from traumatic brain injuries. Or, if he is bigger/stronger than I, I'd certainly be beating him with some sort of weapon. I may not want to murder someone, but it may happen just out of pure anger.

 

[x Tame Impala]

How drunk does Skalde have to be to not notice his wife getting groped in the back seat??? Sounds like a disaster of a night.

It's a lot more complicated than that

It's really not. If someone assaulted my wife, they'd be dead or worse.

It's from October but I just watched it after it was posted on Reddit. Kesler talks about how overuse of Toradol, a pain med, let him to develop Crohn's disease. It's terrible and I can't imagine this stuff isn't happening with players on the Hawks like Seabrook playing through injuries.
