I reckon the Colorado Avalanche win the cup.

Thomas Chabot (the new captain of the Senators) has been putting up top-pair defender results for a long time, playing huge minutes.

My season preview from yesterday has been updated with the new rosters created by the TOR-CBJ trade that happened later in the day; Toronto gained five points and Columbus lost the same. Leafs are now squarely into the sludge in the middle of the East again.

i agree with the key point here and will add to it that there IS a reward, it’s knowing you did one right thing instead of walking around plagued by the nameless shame that afflicts all men who are determined to live the most frictionless lives possible

I posted a link to this on two different subreddits this morning and the yelling was very muted. It's a new internet out there today.

I'll put out an update to this tomorrow morning taking into account all of today's trades.

Kirill Marchenko, traded to Toronto and extended 6x12.5m there, is a strong driver of penalty differential, generates a little offence, and has an extremely good shot.

Happy retirement to Matt "Long Beach Native" Nieto. He played a dozen decent seasons, and he was from Long Beach. I hope that @hockeybabbler.bsky.social is with friends today.

Usually it's faces that appear in the viz, but sometimes it's China.

hockeyviz.com/txt/sG sG is my "all-in-one" stat for how good a player is a specific moment, the s stands for "synthetic" because I use a reference basket of icetime. It's an aggregate of all the individual model measurements of player skill.

I rewrote both my xG model and my chance rate model this summer and it was, conservatively, eight thousand hours of work. Seven days a week for the past five weeks in particular. I'm so pleased with the results but my God.

a) lol b) divisions are bad for sports. Any league that makes enough money to dispense with them forever should do so. Just one leaguesworth of teams in a bag and be done with it.

Logan Stanley (6'7", 1x1.5m deal with the Islanders) is depth defender.

It is indeed Dorothy L Sayers, from "why work?".

Senators traded for a person who is, unquestionably, in every defensibly precise sense of the phrase, a person who has played the position of goaltender.

The illustrious thirty-four game career of Leevi Meriläinen has drawn to a close. Did you mean "merriment"? Autocorrect, I did not.

Yesterday's games: Preseason road teams often don't field particularly strong rosters and you can really tell.

So Ducks at Sharks is one of those stamp stamp stamp pre-season games, huh.
