Really feels like we’ve just watched the best two game run of Ville Koivunen’s career

If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it 25 times: Kale Dach is a good hockey player with a lot of pro habits. What a great pick by Dubas and Clark.

@chrismpeters and @Hockey_Robinson discussing how Carter Sanderson could suit up for USA WJC and be a force throughout their lineup and the team would use him as a way to bolster their identity. Love to hear it

Looking at the goal analysis on @hockeyalchemy is great for discerning team systems. Here, you can see the Penguins aligned in their Box +1 defensive alignment from last night against Florida.

Dominant performance tonight by the second line. Controlled over 75% of the 5v5 shot-attempts and over 80% of the expected goal share.

What a great time to be a hockey fan
We continue to expand the research section of our website by trying to push forward public hockey analysis Our new project focuses on trying to better understand the elements of how a goal was scored Please see this example using #GoHabsGo D Lane Hutson OT Goal vs. TBL last season through the 3D Visualizer Skeleton and Stick models still need some improvement obviously - but this is a good start and will continue to grow 3D Visualizer can be found here: hockeyalchemy.com/lab/shot-a…

Went through this last October. Was standing in my bathroom and randomly woke up on the floor. Took a fun ambulance ride. Hasn’t happened since. They chalked it up to Covid but it can happen innocuously for a number of reasons.

Kindel had a vasovagal episode, which is a sudden drop in heart rate and blood pressure that reduces blood flow to the brain.

Folks, it’s time we had a serious discussion about how good Carter Sanderson is. This kid is legitimate. This is not an imaginary run. He had 15 points in 7 games coming into tonight. He has 3 points tonight and the game isn’t half over yet. This is not smoke and mirrors.

This summer's site tried to be everything. The new one measures each game: win probability play by play, expected goals, and the goal that swung it, with a video of every night. You can check it out below! 👇 hockeygamebot.com
