This would have done numbers on 2017 hockey twitter
If you have a stat culture that revolves around team-influenced measures, and a draft order that favours the weaker teams, you're probably going to create a received wisdom that superstar development curves are slower than they really are.

I reworked the site to include this little map of teams for a bunch of reasons but the main one was because I was tired of scrolling down to find the team links and after some number of years I remembered that it's stupid site and that I can just change the thing. Except!

Every time I hear a bad player described as hard-working, I think "all that work and this is all we get?"
I have heard that Kleven is a hard-working guy, which is arguably more concerning, because what if this is him maxing out his capabilities?

That set play by the Wild is one you can only run successfully against passively coached teams. Happily for Minnesota there are many.

Nino Niederreiter plays his thousandth game tonight. He's fallen off sharply recently but he had a lot of years as a top-line calibre player despite never really being given top-line minutes.

Quintin Hughes (traded to Minnesota) is an exceptionally strong defender, especially at generating chances in all situations and especially especially at passing the puck to a teammate who then proceeds to score.

Tristan Jarry (traded to Edmonton for Stuart Skinner, Brett Kulak, and a 2nd) is a lifetime league average goalie; -14% shot danger in this season so far.

Big night for Stützle. Two goals, two posts, very healthy margin of chances.

Maybe I should do a HockeyViz Selects of who I would take to the olympics for a handful of different countries. I haven't been properly yelled at in a while.
I am a good person, so I want America to lose forever, but if they leave Jason Robertson at home for the olympics I think professional duty will compel me to commit a sequence of crimes.

I’m teaching a course on data wrangling with R & the tidyverse for @stathorizons.bsky.social in January. Filled to the brim with ways to do the stuff you have to do before you can run any of your spiffy models and that often breezily gets glossed over even though it’ll take up 90% of your time.

I can't remember why I used blue for saves in this chart. Maybe I should use black instead? It certainly makes the goals/posts pop a little more.
