Episode #36: Stanley Cup Final, Analytical Teams, and Riley Nash Jun 15, 2022

Show notes

The Stanley Cup Final is upon us. We chat about the final series of the 2022 NHL playoffs, roster construction, depth players, analytical teams, and make a bet revolving around Shawn's favorite hockey player Riley Nash.

Episode #35: Selke Results, Bruce Cassidy, and Mailbag! Jun 07, 2022

Show notes

Our favorite subject, skater defense, gets a highlight here as we discuss the Selke results and the imaginary defensemen award alternative. We also chat about issues with team colors in visualizations, Bruce Cassidy's recent termination, and spend the second half answering your mailbag questions!

Episode #34: Luke's List of Grievances and the Conference Finals Jun 01, 2022

Show notes

Other than the Playoffs, there really isn't much going on in the NHL. We chat about the recently concluded 2nd round and just started 3rd, debate the importance of playoff performance in player and team evaluation (among the other items on Luke's list), and once again talk about Valeri Nichushkin.

Episode #33: Tampa Bay, Round 2, and Some Early Contracts May 24, 2022

Show notes

We're all a little burned out, but the burn out was not consistent between the three of us so we could still cover all the series. We chat about the Lighting's empire, general round 2 happenings, and spend the second half discussing the first contracts of the 2022 NHL offseason.

Episode #32: Playoff Discussion and Contract Projections May 18, 2022

Show notes

The twins had a very long past week, and we are a day late. However, we still had some time to discuss the end of the first round, chat about the upcoming 2nd round, and talk about model results. In the second half, we covered our recently released NHL contract projections for the 2022 NHL offseason!

Episode #31: Round 1 Playoff Coverage, Team Names, and Penalties May 10, 2022

Show notes

We're midway through the first round of the NHL playoffs (at this point we know the Avalanche swept the Predators, but we didn't know this at the time of recording). We chat about every series, debate team names, talk about the "new" penalty environment, and follow a few rabbit holes like normal.

Episode #30: 2022 NHL Playoff Preview - Round 1 May 02, 2022

Show notes

Our full preview of the first round is live on the site (check it out here: https://evolving-hockey.com/blog/evolving-hockey-2022-playoff-preview-round-1/), and we spent the whole episode covering each series. It was a little scatterbrained, but it's been a bit since we've had a "thing" to talk about. Just like the first round will be, this one was fun.

Evolving Hockey #29: Vegas, Early Playoff Takes, and Good Defensemen Apr 26, 2022

Show notes

There's not much to talk about given the playoffs start in a week, but we somehow managed to fill an hour with riveting discussion. We chat about the Golden Knights' struggles, names in general, robotic refs, good defensemen, and some recent additions to all-time hockey tweets.

Evolving Hockey Guest Spot: Charlie O'Connor Apr 19, 2022

Show notes

One of our favorite people in hockey, Charlie O'Connor, joined us for another guest spot. We talked about Charlie's start in hockey stats and writing, covered hockey twitter history, discussed the unfortunate '21-22 Philadelphia Flyers, and saved a little time at the end for some musical debate.

Evolving Hockey #28: Statistical Terms, Preseason Projections, and Listener Suggestions Apr 12, 2022

Show notes

Just like last week, we're waiting for the playoffs to start. We needed some content, so we asked for your suggestions. On the way, we covered irritating statistical terms, preseason projection misses, Winnipeg's lack of an airport, a Quiz Show around unique defensive performances, and thrash metal.
