Around the NHL: HOCKEY’S BACK BABY

Former Amerk Devin Cooley with his first NHL win making 34 saves.

Former almost Sabres draft pick William Eklund with the hat trick to beat the Blues in overtime.

Sens come close to tying it late but don't and then ironically throw a hissy cow over Hischier gently guiding the puck into their empty net as the horn goes.

Eh. It's the worst tracked stat in the league. The variations between rinks make it useless.

OK then

OK then

Not saying he doesn't play physical, but it's just not tracked well.

Breaking down the inconsistencies in counting hits between different NHL arenas - The Win Column

The NHL is undergoing a statistical revolution. The availability of data is increasing each season, and with player and puck tracking becoming standard across NHL arenas, this data will only increase. While having large data sets has led to the development of complex predictive models like those...

Not the NHL but damn, this was sexy AF

Whereas the Sabres probably have 16 hits on the season

 

[MarkusKetterer]

Makes sense that ENG is the cause of the two highest numbers, but interesting that the most goals are in the 25th minute.

And I’m sure the Sabres account for 1/3 of the total goals scored in the first two minutes

This is f'd up

 

[toomuchsauce]

lmao, that is hilarious. guys fighting over "how you put the puck in the empty net" is the funniest thing I've ever seen. With apologies to Nancy Dowd and Jared Keeso, it is not possible to write a better parody of hockey than this.

Lets be clear here:

These have never been serious attempts to get an arena in Phoenix.

The owner had a lease in an arena and got himself kicked out by being toxic and not paying.

Since then its been a bunch of arena moonshots with no chances of actually happening

And he will be able to turn his 300M investment in the Coyotes to double or triple that when it falls through.

"Oh no another arena plan fell through. Welp, time to sell the team to the highest bidder and move it elsewhere, whoopsie!"

The major issue is that this projects taps in to Scottsdale’s water, and their mayor wants them to use Phoenix’s only, seeing it’s in Phoenix.

I get that, but it’s also silly. Sooner or later Scottsdale will just become a part of Phoenix.

Scottsdale Mayor doesnt have a say in the project moving forward, they can use PHX utilities, what he's really concerned about are the retail/commercial that will have to compete with the business that would go in to the new development.

I guess there are tougher things out there than being a Sabres fan, could be a diehard 'Yote fan.

Although I admit an NHL team in Salt Lake feels right. Need a name change though.

If this happens, I hope they continue with continuity and call them the Utah Grizzlies.
