I mean I always knew reviews that went to Toronto were biased, as were the refs, but now they can't even hide it!

I've watched this over and over and I cannot for the life of me figure out what they hell he's thinking diving for the ice. I guess he thinks it's going a lot higher than it is so he wants to get under it?

Yeah, he lost sight of the puck, assumed it was going high (a safe assumption given that it's the PK), then got tangled up in his skates and fell directly in the path of the actual clear.
So do I I can get a desk job doing something 100kCommissioner hangman, I like the sound of that.

Depends can I have the refs calling all dangerous plays? Not ignore them if Trouba wings an elbow?Not enough people hate you.... how does Director of Officiating sound

Sure but you have to instruct them to miss other obvious penalties, also to get in the way of the puck more.

I don’t know what to make of this list, since it’s wildly inconsistent. The Leafs have 4 Video Analysts. The Jets have a Video Coach. The Oilers have a Video & Analytics Coaching Coordinator. We can safely assume most, if not all teams, have some kind of video coach. Yet those aren’t listed in most of these?
Likewise, some of these teams list the General Manager and Assistant General Manager in the group. Others don’t, even though we know for a fact they have a General Manager

Someone on Reddit did a mock Utah Outlaws set up and it's a shame that it's unlikely to happen.
A lot of advanced analytics requires a lot of human feedback on the input side. To judge the quality of a shot, for example, there are firms that watch every single shot in a game and rate how much lateral motion there was, if there was traffic in front, and how fast the player got the shot off, and combine that with the speed and location data the NHL provides to judge the actual quality of a shot. Most NHL teams subscribe to services that do that sort of thing for multiple teams, looks like the Leafs may be doing it internally. That's a list from journalists actually familiar with the hockey analytics world, they're not just looking at team staff rosters and guessing, which is why you have people listed for positions for some teams but not others. Tulsky is a GM out of the analytics world, so he's listed, but no other GM is, so no other GM is listed.
Video coaches have a different role, they're breaking down plays for players and the rest of the coaching staff to figure out where players screwed up or did well on any given play. It's qualitative analysis, they're not using video to build statistical models.
Also, anyone else notice Lee Stempniak for Utah? Didn't realize data was one of his skills, but according to an aside in a profile of him I found, apparently he studied economics at Dartmouth and always loved playing with numbers.

Another pointless night for Mikko.

The main takeaways that I get from that analytics chart is that Chicago and Toronto have unlimited finances to hire a large analytics staff, but that Carolina is the group that currently has the most analytically-inclined people at the very top of the food chain compared to everybody else.

Even if we gave up a star at the end of the day, the return was excellent for a guy who didn't want to play for us.
Dallas's Achilles's Heel, however, is really their right defensive side. Their best three on that side of the puck are Lyubushkin, Ceci, and Dumba. That's...not good.

Him screaming “Give them the PUCK” one last time as it goes into their own net. Cinema.

Apparently, a few weeks ago, the Sabres were in a similar situation where they had a delayed penalty on an empty net and it took them forever to give up the puck. So to have the same thing happen last night, but adding the own goal on top of it? Ray had every right to be angry. That team has zero situational awareness.
