Hockey Thread! (NHL etc.)

Let's keep hockey where it's cold please. Put a team in Quebec and shift Detroit back to the West.

I want a team in Quebec as much as anyone, but I would also hate to see Detroit move west. That schedule was insane for them. A team from Michigan shouldn't be playing 90% of their road games in California.

The pool sheet has been updated after last night's games.

I've added a new column to the second/data page: On Pace.

This is a rough feature that multiplies players' current points per game by 82 minus the number of games they have already missed. The idea is that if they keep up the same points-per-game production over the rest of the available games of the season, that's how many points they will end up with. This will obviously continue to fluctuate pretty wildly as players' production changes and injuries occur. Still, as a tool, it can be somewhat valuable in helping to make substitution decisions for example.

That is true. I keep forgetting that Detroit is in Eastern Time.

Holy shit did anyone else catch the end of the Rangers Penguins game?

Just caught it in replays. You mean Stepan's two shots in the shootout?

Also, kind of weird that the Pens were wearing Bruins jerseys.

Wasn't Stepan... it was actually Dan Boyle (he should be fired from my active roster after that one!)

If this doesn't go on SportsCent[er/re] for their plays/moments of the year, I will be very disappointed...

My bad. I had Stepan on the brain because he actually did score a legit SO goal.

Nice to see the Jets get a point against the Wild... makes up for the late goal they gave to the Preds before regulation ended on Saturday.

Meanwhile, the Ducks recent regulation unbeaten streak is over, with the loss to the Panthers.

I've started following the panthers after they beat Colorado and they've been playing decently lately. Not surprised they outplayed the Ducks as I bet the Ducks thought they were a pushover.
