I’ll briefly wade into politics by saying I absolutely would have voted to abolish the senate, breaking from the “No to the 9” line. The referendum as a whole is stupid but you wouldn’t get me to not vote to get rid of the most anti-democratic institution in the country that is not worth reforming.
Another bump for the morning crowd of yesterday’s piece, where I argue for public tracking of odd-man rushes as a relatively easy starting point for helping the public stats community to get better information and analysis. solvinghockey.beehiiv.com/p/solving-ho...

Bruce@bpeter.bsky.social · 3d agoThe Flyers have scored two goals in a game just four times this season. Remarkably, they’ve taken have taken points home in each game. Today they got to 3 with an empty netter for the win, but have still, 10 games in, failed to score on a goalie three times in a game.

Tyler Toffoli goes from potential hero to zero in the same shift here. From a one-touch pass to spring a breakaway for Alex Wennberg:
I’m sure I’m not the first to ever notice this, but it is interesting when things are this wildly off: on @moneypuck.bsky.social at this point in the game, they had Nashville at 1.8 xG. I’m interested in which service Nashville’s broadcast is using here… be mindful of different calculations.

RIP Lyle Odelein. I’ll never forget the time you were suddenly in my family’s kitchen when I was an 11 year old Habs fan. I wrote this in 2012 for @habseyesontheprize.com on how I became a Habs fan: www.habseyesontheprize.com/the-canadien...
So Nikishin isn’t eligible for an offer sheet or arbitration or anything. If the NHL is at all serious about fighting back on players using no trade clauses to dictate terms to teams, the NHLPA should probably work to end these total “at the mercy of the team” situations.

Clock is ticking with NHL opening night roster submissions due in about twenty minutes. Lots of talk about the Toronto Maple Leafs trading Matthew Knies beforehand. Thankfully, this sort of situation has never gone awry for anyone involved before
I have very few followers on here and who knows how many are active, but a lot of people who followed me probably did based on my hockey output in the early 2010s. For the last 13 years I have been employed by teams, this is the first season start since 2013 where I’m not.
I wonder how many other fans attended their first Knicks playoff game of the year last night that are being let off the hook publicly right now but privately know they are the cursed one.
The #CalderCup conference finals kick off Wednesday night in Wilkes-Barre and Thursday night in Loveland. 👇

God dammit. Timing couldn’t be worse but here goes. Chuck Schumer and I are launching our new podcast “Soul Deep: A Weekly Deep Dive Into the Music of Collective Soul” tomorrow. I do NOT support his latest decision and want to make clear this is strictly a music podcast. Please check it out
