I have NHLEs but I don't have any SEAL level where I adjust for era, scoring context, and age.

I can look but it will be very surface level and weak info.

Him playing with a 1st pairing calibre defensive partner and having meh results resulted in them literally high fiving each other and them calling me a "Hohl lot wrong".

Heinola in the penalty box as the season ends

Welp...

That's all folks. That's 82 games of misery.

My life has come back together enough that I'll write up a bit of a post-season on the Jets over at TFH, and also discuss the future of my blog.

correct

Interesting shot quantity and quality was unchanged. What was different was more "luck" impacted metrics (sh% and sv%).

Spezza is correct

Nope. The retired player never played for Winnipeg. The active player has 40 goals.

Fun stat: only two players in NHL history have averaged the same or less TOI/GP than Ehlers and produced at a higher P/GP rate.

Hints:
• One is retired
• One is currently playing against the Jets (and probably won’t meet the TOI cutoff for much longer)

Any guesses?

@golferwpg.bsky.social 2-8-1 was a rough end for Bowness there

Feels weird doing an online announcement for one of our two cats but Poe passed away this morning.

Telling my girls might be the most heart wrenching thing I’ve ever had to do.

It's been a rough few days. I'm about to have to do something really difficult.
Sorry for being cryptic but I'll probably be less so later today.

My personal addition to the Staples lore:

Staples had just got access to some microstats.

I pointed out to him that Russel leading in exit attempts isnt a positive thing since it meant he was in the dzone lots.

He said if I saw tracking stats I’d know better (I ran HockeyData at that time).

Are we surprised the guy who doesn’t let his kids use social media or similar apps that runs one of the largest tech companies may be a hypocritical sellout?

Oh fun.

Highest career scoring (P/GP), low TOI (<16.5min/GP) players in history (only goes back to 1997-1998).

The other (and worse) site got an Ehlers post, so I thought you should too.

Making wild statements based on small samples (even though history also backs this up, just not to this extreme haha):

Putting DeMelo back with Morrissey = good
Taking Salomonsson away from Samberg = bad

I got an idea...

Step 1: switch 2 and 4
Step 2: switch 24 with you-know-who

Barron might have just got CTE from some big connections there...

I'm just going to point out that's 1 shift this season with 81 and 55 separate and they already score a goal.

(please understand this is not serious analysis)

Maybe don't attempt another zone entry when you've been on the ice for 1:30 of the power play already?

Some bad chances against and a penalty from Toews, all extending from him giving the puck away just second prior.

Remember when those ozone full shift changes happened all the time for the Jets (2017-18 and 2014-15).

Not to pile on one player all the time lately, but #24 had 3 dzone turnovers in the first shift (and then his partner #2 had one the next shift).

Having 57 replace 4 is different than replacing 2.

That’s not a shutdown role. That was sheltered.

Biggest issue I have here is that Pionk is playing big and important minutes and DeMelo is playing less minutes, and the minutes are less important.

Also, maybe he passes soon but models still have 2>57.

This year: 50% Corsi, 53% xG, 55% goals

Last year: 51, 56, 59%

But, much worse forwards and Helle playing merely above average rather than elite.

I’m not one to use 5v5 goal differential, but did you know 3 of the #NHLJets bottom 4 goal differential pairings were Fleury-X.

Fleury-DeMelo have been much better (as DeMelo is better than Schenn, Bryson, or Pionk) but -1.25 goals per 60 is still very much bad.

The first pair for the Jets with DeMelo on it has had no issues? +7 in goals for those mins. It’s the other 2 pairs for much of the year that were the issue.
