What if I were to tell you that Bauer has the 2nd best sG for the #NHLJets defenders* *at a sample size that is essentially meaningless

Hockey analytics is about measuring what we can observe, then using those measurements to infer what we actually care about. But how do we know those inferences work? A look at hockey analytics, testing, models, and the problem of measuring defense. 🔗 thefivehohl.substack.com/p/the-proble...

Sample size is too small to be strongly predictive of future team performance, but for funzies...

Every-once-in-a-while I am reminded of this and I chuckle a bit. Perfect example of losing forest for the trees:

I dug into HockeyViz, Evolving-Hockey, and All Three Zones to break down what the #NHLJets are actually getting, where each player helps, and where they don't heading into 2026-27. 🔗 open.substack.com/pub/thefiveh...

Two different models looking at #NHLJets potential depth:

Garret Hohl @garrethohl.bsky.social · 06/07/2026

Guy on left is paid less and averaged a minute per game than the guy on the right, but it's the guy on the left everyone wants to upgrade.

Garret Hohl @garrethohl.bsky.social · 06/07/2026

The #NHLJets didn't fall 34 points because of bad luck. The warning signs were there last summer. Why the decline was predictable, what went wrong with the roster, Hellebuyck's role in it all, and why #GoJetsGo needs to rethink how it builds a hockey team. 🔗: open.substack.com/pub/thefiveh...

It was requested in my dms to add Fleury. Here you go. #NHLJets #GoJetsGo

Congrats to 50% of the Hockey-Graphs podcast while the other half is at home eating Mac n cheese while watching TV.

Simmons wrote some article that sounds as fishy as the hot dog vendor

Feels weird doing an online announcement for one of our two cats but Poe passed away this morning. Telling my girls might be the most heart wrenching thing I’ve ever had to do.

Oh fun. Highest career scoring (P/GP), low TOI (<16.5min/GP) players in history (only goes back to 1997-1998).

Garret Hohl @garrethohl.bsky.social · 02/04/2026

The other (and worse) site got an Ehlers post, so I thought you should too.

Making wild statements based on small samples (even though history also backs this up, just not to this extreme haha): Putting DeMelo back with Morrissey = good Taking Salomonsson away from Samberg = bad

Garret Hohl @garrethohl.bsky.social · 27/03/2026

I got an idea... Step 1: switch 2 and 4 Step 2: switch 24 with you-know-who

Garret Hohl @garrethohl.bsky.social · 25/03/2026

Nyquist and Toews are pretty much the same player right now

blue: those who say stats only tell part of the story yellow: those who use points and/or +/- (a sliver of the stats story) as the basis of their argument's defense

It's important to admit when you are wrong, so here I am:

Breaking #NHLJets analytics news: Toews has finally pulled himself out of sub replacement level and is now just a below average 4th line player.

Garret Hohl @garrethohl.bsky.social · 14/03/2026

The Jets are winning this game haha

Garret Hohl @garrethohl.bsky.social · 14/03/2026

an even more likely reason from @mikemcintyrewpg.bsky.social here. Don't like it though. It's essentially allowing consequences of past poor decisions impact current and future ones.

Garret Hohl @garrethohl.bsky.social · 14/03/2026

There is no public analytical model that suggests Fleury over Heinola. It's not even close. My guess... #NHLJets decision is likely due to tenure, wanting size (despite results), or missing the forest for the trees.

Garret Hohl @garrethohl.bsky.social · 06/03/2026

The #NHLJets move on from Logan Stanley & Luke Schenn. Ironically, the trade may undo problems the organization started nearly a decade ago. #GoJetsGo Breaking down the deal, the Rosén addition, and why this move might actually be tidy work by Cheveldayoff.👇 open.substack.com/pub/thefiveh...

End of an era 🫡 It all started here

Whoops wasn't 100% updated. Here's after one period.

Garret Hohl @garrethohl.bsky.social · 06/03/2026

The score is nothing special, but at least the underlying results are better than the past few games.

Garret Hohl @garrethohl.bsky.social · 05/03/2026

The #NHLJets are way worse this year. Sure, players will have up/down seasons, but the biggest changes are with personnel and ice time. I thought I'd show a summary of which players were the largest differences in dragging the team down by being added or subtracted, in order.

Garret Hohl @garrethohl.bsky.social · 04/03/2026

Mike is on to something here. Jets are the 3rd worst 3rd period team in the league. Decent starts, average middle, bad end. Is Jets age and slow speed a factor here?

Garret Hohl @garrethohl.bsky.social · 03/03/2026

Again I'm right in my analysis

Garret Hohl @garrethohl.bsky.social · 02/03/2026

Here's the #NHLJets personnel last year in 3v3 vs this year.

Garret Hohl @garrethohl.bsky.social · 01/03/2026

I manually track #NHLJets stats for The Five Hohl premium subscribers. I'll go more into this tomorrow, but ya... looks like the Jets' younger defenders are alright.

I saw something today and so now so do you. #NHLJets #GoJetsGo

#NHLJets lose 4-1 to Tampa, drop to 1-2-1 in their last four, and once again the wheels come off late. Some bright spots, but the same problems remain. Game 53 recap ⬇️ open.substack.com/pub/thefiveh...

I get trying to inflate trade value, but maybe not the greatest idea
