We're a day later than usual (technical issues), but the extra day gave us time to be extra sharp. We spend the first segment discussing our favorite topics (Geography, the Sabres, and bad NHL teams)…

Week 15 is over, and the Edmonton Media is at it again. We chat about the Oilers (they've been the biggest story in the NHL for weeks), the absurdly odd Arizona Coyotes, and spend the entire second h…

Week 14 (?) is in the books, but who's really counting at this point. We chat about the difficulty in projecting team performance (the Montreal Canadiens), All Star Game roster selections / general A…

Despite setbacks, the '21-22 NHL season rolls on in entertaining fashion. We discuss Marcus Foligno's "goal" via Carl Hagelin,  hockey Scorigamis, general goal scoring trends, the Calder race as it s…

We took a week off, but we're back in full force. 2021 is in the rear-view mirror, and we spent a good deal of time covering the current state of the league (first part) along with our version of a 2…

In part 2 of our Hockey Stats Glossary Series, we cover several of the "non-model" metrics for skater analysis in hockey statistics! Here we discuss zone starts, various relative metrics (relative to…

Covid is shutting everything down (again). The Olympics are likely cancelled (again). Everything is bad right now, but we still managed to talk about the Sabres, breakout players, and some potentiall…

Week 6 of the '21-22 NHL season is in the books, and we're back to discussing some nonsense: the battle for New York, irregular rink sizes, shorthanded defense, and various other strength state play.…

We're back for our 10th episode! We spend the first half chatting about various topics in the NHL (geography, Troy Terry & the Ducks, how bad are the Coyotes really, historically bad teams, and luck)…

Jack Eichel was finally traded (to the Vegas Golden Knights), which more than fulfills our weekly Buffalo Sabres check-in requirement. We talk about the months-long saga and trade, discuss a few othe…

We fought through technical issues to get this one recorded, and the results were a very minor success. We chat about Halloween, Frederik Andersen and the Hurricanes, cover how the Sabres are doing a…

Week 2 of the '21-22 NHL season is in the books! We chat about some early season player evaluation model results, unfortunate teams (cough Chicago cough), cover a few modeling topics, and banter abou…

We're only 6 days into the '21-22 NHL regular season, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't be impressed by the Buffalo Sabres or laugh at the Chicago Blackhawks. Shawn, Josh, and Luke chat about the fi…

Shawn, Josh, and Luke banter about a few current events in the NHL and answer your questions ranging from contract value, dealing with age in modeling, preseason NHL award picks, vacation destination…
