Montreal's RDS CuisinèreChaude (Hotstove) about who got the better of the Bodie-Catenacci trade:

I'mma just drop this recently deleted tweet right here. https://twitter.com/richpawlew3/status/836283292773138432 Selfie of Tyrod with a local financial advisor known to have ties to the organization.

Me and this thread.

The 16-17 data falls just outside two standard deviations of the data since 11-12, so there's about a 95+% chance that something changed this season. That said, there's only about a 2% increase in scoring this year compared to the past five years.

Clickbait title? High horses? Telling other fans what they can't do? References to the good ol' days of 2006? Tim Connolly? THIS THREAD'S GOT IT ALL!

Dan Bylsma will be fine.

Technical assessment: the Leafs.

Caught them at Dodger Stadium last fall before Brian was replaced for the tour. 10th row at face value. Kicked more ass than a fully automatic ass kicking machine gone berserk. I'll never forget that show. I was deaf for about three days.

I was reading about the new card-instead-of-paper-tickets thing and was wondering how donating/selling tickets was going to work.

USS Little Rock underway.

He's got 107 points in 70 games over his last two seasons in NCAA. At the NHL equivalency exchange rate of 0.41, that's 50 points on an 82 game season. He's roughly balanced in goals/assists, so he could play top six minutes and put up 21+ goals. For the record, NHLe for EIchel was 60 points, he put up 56. NHLe for Reinhart was 37 points, he put up 42.

Without listening to the interview, that's pretty interesting. I wonder if our analytics kids have tried to weight the shot counts used in Corsi with values like the shooter's shooting percentage or some metric of quality of shot based on where the shot was taken. That could help Corsi-based stats account for quality of player or quality of scoring chance, and reward teams that, for instance, allow lots of shots but only from the outside or from scrubs.

And then their video feed of the stage one landing froze as soon as it approached. Hilarious.

This just in: "Las Vegas NHL Team Folds: Blames Lack of Available Team Names"

Well, named after the Strip, the Las Vegas Strippers came to mind.

Yeah, that's asking to poach the nickname "Hawks," which will never be pried from Chicago. Nighthawks? Blackhawks? Nah.

Thanks. Yeah, that was a rough ride. Graduating into a stagnant research job market, having a hockey buddy get me a job to make ends meet, later getting laid off from that job, unemployed for a while, then getting hired by one of the most well-respected aerospace companies with which I have ignited a damn good career. The whole experience, as it ended well, was both objectively insane and humbling. True story. Just put a fluorescent bulb in a microwave oven. Don't do that.

The "paid" positions: 1. Paperboy 2. Odd jobs on a farm 3. Physicist (laser spectroscopy, plasma physics; undergrad) 4. Teaching Assistant in Physics (grad) 5. Plasma Physicist (grad) 6. Sporting Goods Retail 7. Rocket Scientist (applied physics, plasma physics, rf and mircrowave engineering, electromagnetics, electrical engineering)

Man, I'm so glad I'm not gonna die of natural causes next week.
