Enjoy learning about all the analytics, but I’m still a bit more old school. Yeah they can give you a big picture view of what’s going on, but hockey is still a game played by athletes (elite ones at this level) and I have yet to see a stat that can measure the sheer will and determination of a player in a given situation. Thus those terms like “clutch” and big game” player will always endure.

Not sure where is place to leave a “listener question”, so I’ll try here. If you guys decide to take a couple of questions during this 3-day break, I would be interested to hear what are you guys’ favorite near-trades you have been privy to during your time covering the team.

Well, this baseball numbers maniac really enjoyed this nerdy hockey podcast. Very informative.
Have you considered occasionally doing “Hockey metrics 101” segments (or partial segments) where you explain an advanced stat or 2?
