has there been any news that Healy might be joining Sportsnet?  I keep holding my breath, hoping it doesn't happen but I'm horrified that it might.

Who should I prefer when I'm drinking moonshine out in the park in my underwear?

"oooh you see how Ovechkin skated over there really fast? Yeaaah he's just sooo good at going over there really fast. You can tell he's just really really good. Wow. I mean, there's nobody better at going over there like that."

"a lot" is an understatement. And no, i really haven't heard other hockey broadcasters gush about two specific players for such a large part of their talk time than Hugson/Simpson do with those two guys.  Even when Ovie was really struggling last year they wouldn't shut up about him. 

Canucks bias and the Crosby/Ovechkin obsession. 

I think TSN just lured Cuthbert away, no? He puts the excitement into it like Cole does.  One thing about Bowen is I feel like his TV play by play was as if he was calling it on radio.  Just waay more detail than we need when we are watching the game.  Also, Paul Romanuk coming back is...

Not a huge Bowen fan but if this means more Hughson then I'm happy to join in on some sort of protest to get Joe back. So are we making signs and marching on Rogers HQ, or....? It's Bob Cole #1 for me and Chris Cuthbert is #2.

But one of the biggest problems with the top six was simply about the amount of ice time they played vs. tough opponents.  Not being the absolute strongest group defensively was made worse.  Now that they have built up a rather solid looking stack of bottom six guys who are good enough to run up...

Just wait 5 minutes.

That was a valiant attempt at turning yet another thread into a Clarkson beetch-fest.

Normally, yes, but this structure is quite different and one that a number of teams seem to be evolving to.  Similar to Sakic in Colorado. He is basically making all decisions large and medium and leaves the bean counting to GM whats-his-name (Sherman). I certainly have no problem in Shanny...

:-[ I stand corrected then.  Swear I read that in one of the articles on the day Dubas was hired.  I did work 16 hours that day so might be me. :P

They also had one of the highest PIM's in the league.  Soooo...

*Robot voice* FIRE CARLYLE. FIRE CARLYLE. CARLYLE IS DUMB. CLARKSON IS A DUMMY. (repeat)

Yeah it's pretty cool stuff he is into and I really like where it's going. I think it is far more useful and is truly "advanced" stuff.  We will likely never get much of a view into the actual information they get from it and what they glean from it but it's interesting stuff.

Analytics are never going to replace eyeball level opinions no matter how much faith you have in them.  At best they can support or refute certain aspects in the evaluation of a player.

This is a pretty interesting move by the Leafs, although I don't think the collective orgasm from many of the most critical of this Leafs regime was really warranted.  I'm perfectly happy to have a guy with a strong understanding of new'ish stats (actually, old stats regurgitated in a...

NUMBERS!!!! NUMBERS!!!! GLORIOUS NUMBERS!!! 8) :-*

Pretty sure he will get closer to Kadri "bridge" money.
