EvolvingWild album of the week #71 D'Angelo and the Vanguard - Black Messiah RIP D’Angelo. This is such an awesome record. It has everything you could ever really want. Voodoo is still my favorite record of his, but each album he put out is so good - it’s basically just what kind of mood I’m in.

We should have watched the Vancouver vs. Edmonton game. Seems like that would have been a good time

Idk man, I was a little worried that some of our haters may have been right about our projections, but after watching the Leafs this game, I think they might not be that good. They actually might be kinda bad.

Why am I cheering so strongly for Montreal right now? This feels weird

I know I’m getting old when few things have become more satisfying than watching hockey on the couch, correctly identifying a play that went offside, softly muttering “that’s offside”, and then seeing the ref make the same call.

I’ve heard a lot about “Gavin” “McKenna” for months. I didn’t realize that was a hockey player.

Habs vs Leafs should always be the first game of the season. Give us two teams who fucking hate each other and two fanbases foaming at the mouth to talk shit about each other

Have something going on this afternoon so can’t tune in until a bit later to the first games, but did we do something recently? Getting a ton of new followers here, which never happens lol

Is this actually true? Did people start thinking digital == analog? Did Claude start telling people the computer was analog because it wanted to make itself sound cool?

Yeah, we manually set all rosters for our preseason team point projections based on various different public roster sources (and injury research, etc.). The team listed in the player projections tab is each player's team from the prior season.

Our team projections are updated! We're very tired. Take a look and have fun!

We talked about this on our podcast, but I really don’t understand why he wasn’t traded earlier. Like, did Hellebuyck and Winnipeg not know he wanted to be traded until like a few weeks ago??

Honestly, I really don't think most people outside America understand that most people here are just trying to make it to the next day/week while keeping appearances up. You know what's expensive? Taking time off work to protest (we need our healthcare). You know what's cheap? Social media.

This isn't a simple case of incoherent messaging, it's slamming every button on the console at once in desperation as they realize how egregiously they've overspent on this relative to what it can return financially. In six more months they'll be promising it regrows your hair.

So, we were just reminded that our grandma was born in Canada - either in Manitoba or Ontario just north of Minnesota… Are we secretly Canadians after all??

If Fellini was still alive, somehow he'd weave this into a sub-subplot of his next film. And it would be gorgeous.

I just learned that it's "speak your piece" and not "speak your peace". I have been spelling that incorrectly in my head since I learned how to read.

When the story of Metro Surge is told in media, don't for a moment, through the outpouring of solidarity and community building, despite the heroism, forget that it sucked ass every single day and some days it was like the sun had been blocked from the world

I opened up google maps to see Lake Ontario's "name change" there, and I'm just about to my limit with how unbelievably dumb things in this world have become. Like, really google?? You're actually doing the dumbest shit imaginable??

We avoided doing fantasy projections for years simply because we expected them to take a ton of work to build and maintain. Turns out: they take a shit ton of work to build and maintain. Doesn't matter. Luke and I keep finishing #1/2 in our league's total points (ignore that we never win the Cup).

Hold on, how did I never realize the Minnesota Wild have a hockey player named Viking Gustafsson Nyberg? Like, "Viking" is his first name? And he's from Sweden??

It's that time of year once again! Looking for help: Are there any NHL players that missed the entire '25-26 season that are expected or remotely likely to return to the league in '26-27?

PSA: we fixed it. Sort of a long story, but we've been running the site for a while, and sometimes things get old without you realizing they've gotten old [eyes squint], and then it takes a while to fix that thing that aged without you realizing [wtf]. [A deep metaphor for life] /END scene

We're on our 5th year of training fantasy hockey models, and every time I get to the +/- model, I still can't believe I do this. Just the worst stat and also the worst model. It's so bad and nothing makes it better lol

Screenshot of a correlation plot for hockey's +/- stat. Metrics shown are the given +/- season, the prior three individual seasons (denoted by "_n1"...), and the prior year of toi per GP. All correlations are below 0.3, and two are 0.14.

Lane Hutson’s contract was a red herring. I thought this offseason would be kind of normal after that. I thought it would be nice and easy with no surprises. I WAS WRONG.

$20.4 million? Per year?? Pretty soon the NHL is gonna start reducing the number of skaters because teams can only pay 10 players a year.
