to date, the Eastern Conference is a combined 153-84-36 against the West, which is a .626 points%, or a 103 points every 82 games. If playoffs started today and were seeded 1-16 for the whole league, five teams from the West would make it, one of them being Seattle. The hell is going on.

gonna be honest, even if Kesselring doesn't regain form (and I think he's still a good player, just saying 'even if'), Buffalo might straight-up win the Peterka trade given how good Josh Doan has been through his first 102 career games

pretty happy with Underdog Best Ball rosters so far: Seven weeks (I think?) left an 11/22 teams advancing. I would like to shout out Celebrini, Greaves, and Anaheim Ducks stacks for doing the heavy lifting

Tweet-length review of Marty Supreme: there are maybe 4-5 movies a year that give me absolute electricity running through my veins, and this is one. It is so goddamn good. Give Chalamet his statue.

At the risk of sounding like a homer, Slaf is turning into a capital-p Problem for the rest of the league and he’s still a couple years away from his prime. Man alive what a player.

LRT: really good thread from CJ on where xG models stand and significant differences/changes in recent years. Recommended reading on why some models are off this year.

@CJTDevil: Okay so I've talked to several of the modelers about this and I want to just give a sort of public report for posterity on the state of the public xG models and the NHL shot...

Montembeault prolly should have had the wrap-around goal but he’s made a couple big saves to keep it tied. Doesn’t look rattled, which is nice to see.

writing about this more next week, but I was looking forwards requiring the fewest team shot attempts for their individual scoring chance contributions (all 5v5) over the last 1.5 seasons, and Macklin Celebrini is on another planet

As good as the Habs looked moving the puck against Carolina, today they look like they’re all wearing the blast visor Luke used for lightsaber training.

Alex Turcotte is such an interesting player. Very good play-driving, below-average special teams, awful penalty differential. Strong chance-contribution numbers the last couple seasons. Feels like a guy the Kings would trade to 'improve' this year's roster.

Season is half over and all of Florida, Washington, Ottawa, New Jersey, and Toronto are outside the playoff picture by pts%. That feels kind of nuts. Think a preseason case could be made about any of the 5 not reaching the postseason, but it would be wild if all 5 didn't. (Won't happen, but...)

Well, Canada pounding Czechia and the alternative is the New York Rangers so this turned into a movie night real quick.
