The Advanced Stats Thread Episode VI: RIP To Our Databases

It’ll be funny if Darling bounced back next season and the new coach gets all the credit, despite Carolina becoming a 48% CF team.

You can't ignore threads on HF anymore, right? For my own sanity, I need to ignore the spec thread. How can I do this because I don't have the willpower to do it alone.

Also: Shout out to the Maple Leafs, HFNYR's gold-standard of hockey-rebuilds, who are about to get first-rounded again. Feed me the hot takes about how AM34 isn't a gamebreaker.

^ Holy ****, there's an AM34 take in the around the nhl thread I am loooooooooooooosing it.

Along these same lines, I just talked about Messier and I need a hug

Fun note about Jim Montgomery since I just sped through that Athletic article: Denver had a CF% of 58.1 this year. From the few times I’ve seen Denver this year, they played a relative simple, aggressive N-S game. Forecheck looked like a 2-1-2/2-3 hybrid and they skated pretty well in cohesion and 5-man units.

He’s apparently out of the Hitchcock school of coaching, so it makes sense that they play similarly. That type of style is basically how I want to play this year. Nothing fancy, just smart breakouts, 5-man attacks, and an aggressive N-S game that forechecks hard

@silverfish Carp wrote for the Athletic earlier this week that Gorton talked to Ruff and apparently they’re going to let the new coach decide if Ruff stays (pls no)

Peters is good, Calgary will be better next season

I’m fine with an “off brand” NCAA coach, depending on what your definition of off brand is

I dunno. If we are going to have a guy who has never coached in the NHL before as our HC, I would want someone with NHL experience as an assistant. I don't think that last season is an indictment of Ruff as much as it was AV (not that Ruff is blame free). I've always liked Lindy so maybe I am a bit biased.

Sounds great to me.

Hey @Gardner McKay can you do me a solid and make someone else start the next spec thread

Ehem...
