It's when you hop off the bench in the middle of play. Offensive/defensive zone starts are only tabulated by faceoffs taken in those zones. I think the majority of player shifts are counted as on the fly.

I wouldn't consider that a zone start.
By the time a player gets into the play the puck could be into a different zone. And players almost never change when the puck is in their defensive zone.
A fair analysis,

I still want both Neely and Sweeney gone. Not going to happen anytime soon. Perhaps if they implode next season.

Anderson: It's been a truly mixed bag for Don Sweeney in his seven years on the job. But is it time to cut bait and move on?

Acquisitions/trades/term: C-
Retention/term: B-
In a salary cap league, drafting is everything. So is avoiding acquiring bad contracts--and, I lump in Coyle among the bad contracts given its excessive term. He's been very bad in both areas. 2011 was our zenith; 2015 draft our nadir. I don't see how we can recover from that and I don't trust him to try.

Analytics signed that shitty free agent signings from last year. Should have just plugged their own bottom six from Providence.

A little hard to follow this but if you think analytics signed forbort, foligno or ullmark, I would disagree
Don't disagree.
Whatever Sweeney's strong points, and we can discuss them if you like, his overall management, quite poor over six plus years, is evident.
Neely makes me ill.
Yet everyone knows the old man will ride it out, as long as there is a playoff berth. So, another season of same. Then the inevitable firing of Cassidy. Then a further season with some poor f***er behind the bench.
And then, when they can't make even round one, SweeNeely shown the door.
And then...?
It's going to be TWO SEASONS of this foolishness, ladies and germs.

Foligno no but everyone else, he’ll ya. Always wondering “ what did they see when they signed him”. The numbers speaking to them.

Didn't I read here someplace yesterday that Forbort's analytics were doggy poo last year and his final year in the 'Peg.
It’s coming. We all know he's not getting fired.
We are stuck with Neely, likely until he retires. We are stuck with Sweeney until the team bottoms out - could be next year or 5 years from now.
Coaches will churn when fans get restless, but the real issues will remain firmly in place.

There is literally no way "analytics" said to sign Forbort to a 3 year, 9 million dollar deal. Zero chance.

Yeah, I think Sweeney simply liked him and thought they needed size on the backend. He then figured Forbort would excel playing with McAvoy, who could handle the puck and cover up Forbort's biggest issue.
Which was f***ing crazy.

Yes and no. He played with Doughty, and there isn’t a better McAvoy comp than Doughty. Not excusing it or even trying to defend it in the least but it’s not the worst thought in the workd

Doughty had the worst season of his career when Forbort was his partner.

I know. Again I’m not defending it or going to bat for anyone here. I’m just saying I think that was the thought process
