Around the NHL - Part XLII - (2023-24 Season edition)

[egelband]

Looks good to me. Way more subtle than Foxtrax lmao

I haven’t seen it but in general i think it’s a great feature. Ideally it’s able to be toggled on/off.

It's very subtle and quick, but slow enough for the eye to catch it and follow. The tail is basically the same width as the puck on the ice, and just black with a taper as it gets further away. And only seems to be in use when along the boards? Unless NHLN is toggling it on/off.

EDIT: Nvm looks like they are indeed toggling it on/off and it still happens for open-ice puck movement, which still looks fine.

McDavid possibly injured. He should probably just rest up for a week so we don't have to face him on Thursday...

…and the rookie they bring up to play in his first NHL game will score a goal along with any other Oiler in the lineup who has never scored an NHL goal.

It’s better than what it used to be in the late 90s with the red one

Ty Emberson made his NHL debut the other night with the Sharks. Rangers shsould have kept him and waive Pitlick. Rangers had more forward depth than dman depth.

Agree 100% but Drury could have went with Harpur instead of Emberson.

I was looking at the Rangers schedule. The Calgary game is 9:45pm. Usually the Flames and Oilers games start at 9pm. The NHL is having NHL Frozen Frenzy tomorrow night. 32 teams. 16 games. No promotion from the league. Nothing. The start times are staggered.

Flames Rangers was one of the best regular season games of the season last year. You’d think that could be marketed somehow but the league doesn’t even try or care.

Won’t let me post Twitter links from my phone for some reason, but just saw Motte is out long term with an UBI.

Drury vindicated again

I've seen some marketing by ESPN. They will have an "NFL Red Zone" style show at 8pm on ESPN2 (7pm on ESPN+)

How bad is David Quinn?

Hate injuries to any player, but nice they dont have to play McDavo on Thursday.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Thats awesome.

The thing that makes zero sense to me though is how they still rely on subjectivity for goals "kicked" in by skates and pucks crossing the goal line. If theres a chip in the puck to track all of those metrics they should easily be able to know if its completely crossed the goal line or not by adding something into the ice.

where's that from?

it'd be nice if the website worked.

I don't know if it's overloaded with traffic now

Sam Rosen called out John Giannone on air for refusing to start the MSG pregame show at 9:00. P.M.

I think it's the traffic, saw someone on Twitter mention it

I'm about to go crazy editing player attributes in NHL 24 once it's up again

What happened?

Knee in the side from Evander Kane last game.

don’t lose sleep over Emberson. He’s a piece of furniture.

Here you go

They kept Zac Jones over him.

Emerson coulda beat him out. It's a meritocracy. Good luck Ty.

I feel like this is easier said than done. I’m trying to conceive of a tracking technology with the resolution required in three dimensions to function with the required reliability.

It’s much easier to track relative motion than it is precise location.

Right...

You would need some kind of passive or active positioning, and a gyroscopic sensor to determine the orientation of the puck.

If you knew the pucks precise location and it's orientation, it's trivial to figure out if it's passed the goal line.

That said, precise indoor 3D location tracking may not be there yet.

Not only do you need to fit all this tech inside of a puck, it has to be really small as to not effect the overall density/feel of the pucks.

Kane will get that extra ice time he's bitching about.

Next thing we have the lights out and glow in the dark players......if they want to make the puck easier to follow then lose the board advertising and bring us back to when they were pristine white ....like that will ever happen .
