You have my interest. What was said?

The guy was just saying that there's zero reason to keep Ward since the young guys should play. He was beating the same old horse over and over.

Logan Brown, Drake Batherson among 15 Senators cut from training camp roster

Ottawa camp cuts.... Balcers down. Bergman to waivers today.

I remember after the Boedker trade I had people telling me the Sharks lost because we included Bergman who was a 2nd round pick.

 

[matt trick]

Can we pick up Bergman just for the grins?

 

[LadyStanley]

Well, Patty?

Everyone from waivers yesterday cleared.

Custance: NHL stars suspicious of latest data on ideal time...

When should you pull the goalie? 90 seconds left? Five minutes? (Depends on # of goals behind?)

But they remind us that the number in the standings column that counts most isn’t the goal differential, it’s total points. According to their paper, the NHL coach who implements this strategy will add 1.76 points to their team’s total over the course of the season. In a league filled with parity, that would definitely push some team into a playoff spot that might not otherwise get there.

Interesting anecdote about stats class had pull at 3+ minutes left. The study reference above is even more aggressive (including, if you're down 5 goals, pull goalie with more than 35 minutes left!).
