Scott Maxwell @scotmaxw.bsky.social · 24/11/2025For the record, I had them 18th myself. But largely it’s because of A) 80% of the league is so close in the standings rn that their records don’t have that much of an impact on their rankings, and B) Their chance generation is rated lower than most teams, so that dings them a bit in my model. 120
Scott Maxwell @scotmaxw.bsky.social · 20/02/2025I dove into the numbers and looked at some of the best analytical performances at the 4 Nations Face-Off for @dailyfaceoff.bsky.social , including the Tkachuk brothers, last minute additions, and a couple goalies on opposite ends of expectations www.dailyfaceoff.com/news/six-bes...dailyfaceoff.comThe six best performances at the 4 Nations Face-Off according to analyticsBrothers dominate, late defensive subs have key shutdown performances, and goaltenders defy expectations. 020
Scott Maxwell @scotmaxw.bsky.social · 22/01/2025I looked at all of the Western Conference teams poised to sell at this year’s deadline and figured out just how much they should sell for @dailyfaceoff.bsky.social www.dailyfaceoff.com/news/western...dailyfaceoff.comWhich Western Conference seller teams should blow it up at the 2025 Trade Deadline?At the risk of leaving no core left for your future, here’s how each seller should approach the trade deadline. 010
Scott Maxwell @scotmaxw.bsky.social · 09/01/2025I dove into the numbers and found six NHL defensemen playing great defensive hockey in tough minutes - and not getting the recognition for it yet. Including Kaiden Guhle and Cam York, hopefully you can start giving them some at @dailyfaceoff.bsky.social www.dailyfaceoff.com/news/6-nhl-d...dailyfaceoff.comSix NHL defensemen not getting enough recognition for their defensive playSome are showing signs of elite play, while a few are already there and should be much bigger names. 010
Scott Maxwell @scotmaxw.bsky.social · 08/01/2025Oh for sure, I was mostly just playing off of your Exegol joke 010
Scott Maxwell @scotmaxw.bsky.social · 08/01/2025I’m surprised there hasn’t been a Hondo Ohnaka cameo yet 100

Scott Maxwell @scotmaxw.bsky.social · 04/01/2025Yeah I think with the Leafs he had a bit more skill, and then somehow reverse developed it by not using it well 010
Scott Maxwell @scotmaxw.bsky.social · 04/01/2025Kapanen is the epitome of “lots of skill, doesn’t know what to do with it a lot of the time” 110
Scott Maxwell @scotmaxw.bsky.social · 03/01/2025Today I looked at the four teams currently in the top ten for expected goals for and against, which has shown to be a recent trend for teams that go on to win the Stanley Cup, for @dailyfaceoff.bsky.social www.dailyfaceoff.com/news/which-n...dailyfaceoff.comWhich NHL teams look like 2025 Stanley Cup contenders right now?These four teams are the best of the best offensively and defensively as we approach the midway point of the... 000
Scott Maxwell @scotmaxw.bsky.social · 02/01/2025Well, it was right when COVID hit, so super depressing and boring, and it was also right when I graduated so I got that good ol existential crisis of my career trajectory getting stunted. 000

Scott Maxwell @scotmaxw.bsky.social · 27/12/2024Why does Canada always pick terrible songs for goal songs (excluding Halifax)? 000
Scott Maxwell @scotmaxw.bsky.social · 24/12/2024I remember hearing the guitar solo in Do the Hippogriff and thinking how weird it sounded and it made perfect sense that it was Johnny 110
Scott Maxwell @scotmaxw.bsky.social · 24/12/2024The guitarist is also Johnny Greenwood from Radiohead, which makes so much sense after learning that 110
Scott Maxwell @scotmaxw.bsky.social · 24/12/2024Yeah he hasn’t even been good offensively either, I wonder if they ever consider splitting up McCabe and Tanev to give him a shutdown guy to play with 000
Scott Maxwell @scotmaxw.bsky.social · 21/12/2024Might be the easiest 3-slot for a Tim’s pick I’ve ever seen 000
Scott Maxwell @scotmaxw.bsky.social · 19/12/2024I had a bit of fun pulling from soccer and basketball to come up with ideas for an in-season tournament in hockey for @dailyfaceoff.bsky.social www.dailyfaceoff.com/news/what-co...dailyfaceoff.comWhat could an NHL in-season tournament look like?Pulling ideas from basketball and soccer to come up with ideas for additional competitions in the NHL. 000
Scott Maxwell @scotmaxw.bsky.social · 18/12/2024And they also had worse goaltending in both of those seasons (although only by .2% between this year and 2022-23), so the defensive results were more driven by the team and not the goalie like this year 100
Scott Maxwell @scotmaxw.bsky.social · 18/12/2024PWHL shot share update after December 17th: Ottawa and Boston held fairly even in that regard on Tuesday, so neither team sees significant improvement from where they stood before 000
Scott Maxwell @scotmaxw.bsky.social · 18/12/2024According to Yahoo, Nick Suzuki is having an all-time fantasy night 000

Scott Maxwell @scotmaxw.bsky.social · 15/12/2024Well, I guess Domi isn’t on a bad contract anymore 000
Scott Maxwell @scotmaxw.bsky.social · 15/12/2024Yeah, that contract was a sneaky bad one, even though the ceiling ain’t that high 000
Scott Maxwell @scotmaxw.bsky.social · 13/12/2024Yeah I normally do too, missed the boat on that one 000
Scott Maxwell @scotmaxw.bsky.social · 13/12/2024Did you get them right at release? There’s a good chance the tickets were around that price right at 10am, but give them 10 minutes on the market and the resellers buy them out and double the price. 100
Scott Maxwell @scotmaxw.bsky.social · 13/12/2024Woke up to find out Magdalena Bay were touring in Toronto, but the tickets are $120!!! How are we at the point where smaller indie bands charge that much for concerts 101
Scott Maxwell @scotmaxw.bsky.social · 13/12/2024Not to take away from Laughton’s accomplishment, but scoring four goals when two are in empty nets is barely a hat trick, never mind a four-goal game 000
Scott Maxwell @scotmaxw.bsky.social · 13/12/2024Obviously playing the Ducks vs. the Devils would make it a bit easier, but rhe Leafs definitely missed Jake McCabe. Might have even been more missed than Matthews based on his defensive impact. 010
Scott Maxwell @scotmaxw.bsky.social · 13/12/2024The Ducks not getting Dostal off until the final minute reminds me of when goalies used to only get pulled in the last minute. 000
Scott Maxwell @scotmaxw.bsky.social · 12/12/2024I wrote about Connor Bedard’s struggles this season and some of the potential causes of it for @dailyfaceoff.bsky.social www.dailyfaceoff.com/news/whats-c...dailyfaceoff.comWhat’s causing Connor Bedard’s sophomore slump?With Bedard producing less than last season, is there any long-term concern? 000

Scott Maxwell @scotmaxw.bsky.social · 10/12/2024Deal with it! (I will make that adjustment tomorrow) 010
Scott Maxwell @scotmaxw.bsky.social · 10/12/2024After three games each, the Frost have been in a league of their own, as well as the Fleet for completely different reasons. The Sceptres have played well but are clearly missing Spooner, while Fillier has given the Sirens a scoring influx to overperform their numbers a bit 010
Scott Maxwell @scotmaxw.bsky.social · 10/12/2024I'm going to try my best to start churning out some form of team-based analytics for PWHL teams this season with whatever data is available. Right now, that's just shot share at all strengths, but these should get a bit less neanderthalic as more data becomes available 231
Scott Maxwell @scotmaxw.bsky.social · 10/12/2024It took me all of two minutes of tonight’s action for Zach Benson to hit on my Tims picks 000
Scott Maxwell @scotmaxw.bsky.social · 09/12/2024As tonight’s action gets underway, check out this week’s power rankings at @dailyfaceoff.bsky.social for mine and Hunter Crowther’s thoughts on the 32 teams, including our hype for the Washington Capitals www.dailyfaceoff.com/news/nhl-pow...t.cohttps://www.dailyfaceoff.com/news/nhl-power-rankings-capitals-climb-to-top-despite-4-nations-face-off-snubs 000
Scott Maxwell @scotmaxw.bsky.social · 07/12/2024In what world does the TTC think closing a subway track from both sides of Union Station is a good idea? 020
Scott Maxwell @scotmaxw.bsky.social · 06/12/2024While it’s hard to overpay for a goalie like Shesterkin, it does feel like a bit of one when the entire goalie market established itself in the $8 million range in the past year, including the one goalie who is definitively better than him in Hellebuyck 010
Scott Maxwell @scotmaxw.bsky.social · 06/12/2024I usually like to wait until I’ve listened to all of the songs on my Wrapped playlist to not spoil myself, but give me a number between 1-100 and I’ll give you a song 000
Scott Maxwell @scotmaxw.bsky.social · 06/12/2024Trouba’s career arc is kind of hilarious in how he went from being a defenseman with great underlying numbers but wasn’t played enough to a defenseman who had terrible underlying numbers but is played too much. Has almost never actually played in the role he’s capable of at that current time 000
Scott Maxwell @scotmaxw.bsky.social · 05/12/2024Them designing this team to be a shutdown masterclass is hilarious when four of their seven defensemen are at best spotty defensively and at worst bleed chances and are doing so in front of goalies with inconsistent track records 000
Scott Maxwell @scotmaxw.bsky.social · 01/12/2024Started playing Fall Guys again yesterday and got my first W post-retirement 010
Scott Maxwell @scotmaxw.bsky.social · 01/12/2024Going into the weekend slate of games with all of my fantasy hockey and basketball waiver moves us is surely something I won’t regret 000
Scott Maxwell @scotmaxw.bsky.social · 01/12/2024Especially the playoff recap ones that played after the Cup-winning game 010
Scott Maxwell @scotmaxw.bsky.social · 01/12/2024I miss the Tim Thompson era pre-Rogers buying them, those intros were phenomenal 130
Scott Maxwell @scotmaxw.bsky.social · 30/11/2024Is the Sceptres goal song still Applause or did they change it this year? 000
