I’m still here. I just check it infrequently. Tbh I just check socials in general less frequently now that my hands are tied up with two kids. As for your idea, I don’t mind it tbh but I do think it needs some subjectivity to it depending on how that injury occurred

A 3210 point system would be better than what we have now, but we could get all of its benefits with an even simpler system: base the standings on regulation record, and break ties using post-regulation games. Can only gain ground with regulation wins, can only lose ground with regulation losses.

Thought it would be interesting to just see a global trend of xG per 60 in the game to see if over time the games become lower event as teams start to gameplan for them more

Their shot attempt percentage has been very good all season. The more interesting thing early is the xG% was not favorable to them which means that either the shots against were very dangerous or the shots for weren’t. I think it was the former tho

He looked a bit better today especially with the puck but it was not a great showing by him. He really seems like he needs another year in junior.

Jake Rudolph @jake.crashthepond.com · 21/09/2025
Not a great look from Sennecke on that goal (same from a few others on that play). If Sennecke wants to stick he has to be better at stopping the progression from D men from the point

Jake Rudolph @jake.crashthepond.com · 21/09/2025
Bit of a seeing eye shot from Nesterenko there but the release came from an interesting angle which definitely helped fool the goalie along with the screens

Jake Rudolph @jake.crashthepond.com · 21/09/2025
I’m very curious to see how Sennecke looks today. He had a really rough rookie faceoff where I think he really needs a good showing tonight to have a chance to make the opening day roster

It would have been earlier in the season. I think it was right before the Detroit game on November 15th

Oh also you should be very excited about Zegras. It seems like Tocchet will use him properly and he will be surrounded by talent also. If used correctly he is one of the most creative and intelligent players I have seen

Lol hey you guys now have both Zegras and Drysdale. Should remove any of that resentment

Jake Rudolph @jake.crashthepond.com · 25/07/2025
First off thank you for the kind words about the show. They did play him at center for like 5-10 games early in the season. I think the game vs Detroit in November he played center. If you can find a game where he played with Gauthier and Killorn, then he was at center

Yzerman & Verbeek were working on this trade for a while; retention was a sticking point. Really like this for Detroit. 2nd + 4th is a fine bet on a #1 goalie, in my mind. Sources indicate that 1st + Anton Johansson was the ask earlier this year, happy that didn't happen. #LGRW

It definitely feels like he asks for the world and then caves and gives in even when he’s dealing from a position of strength. He did not need to move Gibson
110
Jake Rudolph @jake.crashthepond.com · 28/06/2025
The success of this deal will be determined by: - Can Dostal continue his strong play as a bonafide number 1? - Can Mrazek be a serviceable backup for 30-40 games? - Will Gibson play like he did last season and be injury free? - Will the Ducks spend within 6.4 mil of the cap in 26-27?

Jake Rudolph @jake.crashthepond.com · 28/06/2025
That Gibson trade is an interesting one. I think it’s an underwhelming return when you look at how long the Gibson trade saga has gone on, but also from a value perspective I think it’s about right when you consider the 6.4 mil in space in 26-27 that the Ducks get from this.

Jake Rudolph @jake.crashthepond.com · 24/06/2025
Yup. My view is if that’s your prerogative that’s fine, but it’s unlikely you will enjoy our podcast if that’s the case. Trying to have the AC ethos live on in the show
