Bossy vs Brett Hull

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

Not to distract from all this, but as someone that has tracked shifts and ice time many times before, how on earth are you doing it for all players?!?! Even if it's just Blues forwards, that's several runs through the whole game, no? That would take me at least all day...

It takes some time, I just do a few different sessions to split it up. I feel like it's not too much to do all forwards, as I can usually get a feel for what the coach is doing and the rhythm of the game, especially if the lines and units are consistent. And it gives more team context for how the player is being used.

This 1991 Blues-North Stars game was a tough one. No consistent lines. It's not so easy to read the blue jerseys, and the commentators frequently said the wrong names. For example, it took a long time for them to catch Hull as a fourth forward, and at one point the commentator said "Stew Gavin is out there, but Hull isn't", missing that Hull was back at the right point.
