Latest Episodes:

Episode #56: NHL Rink History, Tage Thompson, and WAR Discussion Nov 29, 2022

Show notes

With Thanksgiving only a few days behind us, we took the opportunity to ramble about sleeping habits, league history, rink dimensions, Tage Thompson, some of the philosophical foundations of WAR, and vocabulary.

Episode #55: League Round Up, Tank Race, and Microstats Nov 23, 2022

Show notes

The general state of the league was the topic for this episode: tanking teams, the unlikely ascension of the Devils and Bruins, the most "expected" teams/players, and Nick Seeler. In the second half, we had a great conversation about Shawn's recent tracking project and article on the site.

Episode #54: Tracking, Philosophy, and Expectations Nov 15, 2022

Show notes

Despite some technical issues, we all loved this episode. We discuss tracking, zone entries/exits, philosophical questions in modeling hockey, expected goals, over/under-performing teams and players, and Otto McAvoy's new dog food.

Episode #53: Time, Chaos, and Hockey Nov 08, 2022

Show notes

This one was all over the place (in a good way). We chat about early season trends, surprising results, particularly bad team and skater performances, Matthew Tkachuk, daylight saving time, SEAHAC, and coffee.

Episode #52: Spooky Season Nov 01, 2022

Show notes

It's Halloween. Spooky Season. We chat about the release of our EH player evaluation models for the '22-23 season, some (still) surprising teams and players, the history of analytics, and Matthew McConaughey

Episode #51: Early Season Impressions Oct 27, 2022

Show notes

We're a little late this week, but we've officially moved on to week three of the '22-23 NHL season. We chat about our initial impressions of the young season, discuss the surprise teams (among 7 games), cover some interesting teammate data, and try hard not to deride Shawn for his lack of Coen Brothers knowledge.

Episode #50: Week 1, Rookies, and Excitement Oct 17, 2022

Show notes

The first week of the '22-23 NHL regular season is now complete, and I think we're all just a *little* bit excited. We discuss some very early trends around the league, rookies, cover seemingly every team in the league, and Josh and Luke convert back into premier Wild fans. Plus quite a bit of rambling and nonsense.

Episode #49: A New NHL Regular Season, Predictions, and Hydration Oct 11, 2022

Show notes

The '22-23 NHL regular season technically began a few days ago, but for most people it starts today. With Shawn back in his host chair, we chat about the beginning of another regular season, our early off-the-board predictions, and spend too much time discussing liquid intake.

Episode #48 (Twin Edition): Team Projections Oct 04, 2022

Show notes

Shawn is on vacation, so Josh and Luke decided they'd try an episode without our host. It went surprisingly well in our opinion (don't ask Shawn what he thinks). Our team point projections for the NHL season went live yesterday. We spent the episode discussing them along with other NHL regular season eve items.

Episode #47: Hockey, End of the Offseason, and Schedule Woes Sep 20, 2022

Show notes

Again, there isn't much going on, but we found plenty to talk about. We chat about Hockey (in the abstract), pace of play, the "final" review of our contract projection model for the 2022 offseason, general grievances, and coffee.
