Thanks for posting. The Pronger/Grossmann bits were very interesting to me.

CosmicQueso, that avatar is bringing back fond memories of 90's hockey.
I didn't follow it totally closely, but I liked the way Dion Phaneuf has talked to the media over the last couple of years in the interviews I've seen. That's at least one good attribute to him being a captain.
Phil Kessel was awful. Yes, TO media is horrible, but Phil Kessel just made the situation that much more worse instead of handling it like Phaneuf does.

I guess Dutchie didn't get the updated jersey yet. #RIPYetiFoot

I can't hate that Yotes Jersey because it was unique.

He knows better. Fuck that C.
No one could reasonably expect any person to deal well with the shit show that is the Toronto media. Not that Denver's sports media would be any better if hockey was ever the main sports attraction here.
That Dangle guy did a podcast with Friedman yesterday which is actually really entertaining and informative. Friedman has lots to say about players, the business and lots of stuff on the media side. There's a lot of Leaf talk obviously, but it's worth the listen

Thanks for all of the well-wishes and kind thoughts. I appreciate it.
It's been tough, but hopefully things are/will be okay.

He was merely a plug to fill the roster here in Winnipeg. His work ethic was suspect as well and at the beginning of the season last year, they got rid of him pretty fast. He was just mediocre in all aspects.
I guess if they wanted to bolster their AHL team, maybe, but he's essentially useless at an NHL level.

Embrace the C, 19 & 21 embrace it!
I think that's what they're doing, he was useless here when he was on the big club, but like I said, he's a good addition for an AHL team, he thrives down there.
I listened to this last night, friedman has some really good stories

It makes the entire sweater feel like homogenized bullshit. I like the old one a lot but I'm not opposed to something new. This something new sucks.
Yea, he's a great interview, and his stories are all pretty great for any hockey fan. Hearing him swear was funny.

Dion better not be captain for much longer. Hopefully someone else will stand up and change the radio station.

Bigras said it's his goal to make the Avs this season, hope he does so we can get rid of some dead weight.
Beauchemin-Johnson
Zadorov-Barrie
Bigras-Stuart
Much better than last season, though that says little.
It's the jersey and its pattern that are bad, they need a complete redesign. Would be interesting to swap blue as our primary color and make burgundy the complimentary color.

Tabris would be excusing the shit show of the Toronto media.
But no, the "problem with the media" wasn't even a big deal until now that he's gone and the vultures are out to feast. A lot of them got salty over Phil calling them out for unfair treatment of Phaneuf last season. He also didn't make himself available to the media a couple of times, but that was a real non-story until after that video I posted, and now it's all they want to keep tagging on him.

I saw that Antman OT Quick. That's some good stuff right there.
This, it's sad seeing you guys getting worked over by a troll.
There are a group of people manually tracking passes in the NHL, who just today published their data, available in handy tableau form:
Forwards: https://public.tableau.com/profile/publish/PassingDataForwards/PlayerChart#!/publish-confirm
Defense: https://public.tableau.com/profile/...singDataDefense/PlayerChart#!/publish-confirm
And the glossary:
Essentially it measures how much a player is contributing to offense through passing (and some of the metrics include both passes and actual shot attempts made by that player)

Yeah, that's what it seems to be, no way he will make our opening roster with how many forwards we have, might see a shot with injuries, but it seems more like an AHL roster spot if he did play well down their last year.

This site just makes me sad that I want Jared Spurgeon to get traded.
Ryan Suter's bars were real nice tho.
Morgan Rielly; nice.

Zadorov is pretty bad, though he was playing on the worst team in the league while being a young defenseman. Excited to see how he does on the Avs.
THE DREAM
Thanks. Got the idea while I was working on the Age of Ultron OT. I was worried mods would close it for being too gimmicky, but it worked out.
As an example, here's Tanner Glass's chart:
CC%: Tanner Glass is almost never involved in his team's offense while he's on the ice (he isn't making passes which lead to shooting attempts, nor is he shooting the puck
CC/60 rank: On average, through 60 minutes, Glass is not generating very much offense
Composite SAG/60 rank: Tanner Glass is not making very many passes over 60 minutes that lead to shot attempts
Composite SG/60 rank: Tanner Glass is not making very many passes over 60 minutes that lead to shots
Entry Assists/60: Tanner Glass is marginally better at passing the puck to a player who enters the offensive zone than anything else he does. But still horrible at it.
SC SAG/60 rank: Over 60 minutes,Tanner Glass does not send many passes to home plate, which then lead to a shot attempt
SCC/60 rank: Tanner Glass doesn't do a good job at the above, or at shooting in home plate
SCC% rank: I think this is measuring the percent of his team's scoring chances Tanner Glass is involved in while he's on the ice, but I could be wrong.

The Bozak chart is literally giving you the middle finger.
