Turns out eventually is a few days ago. I'll be around from time to time to tell people I'm not around but otherwise you won't find me here. Follow me over there for brightly-coloured nonsense: @hockeyviz.com

In light of recent twitter functionality downgrades (not to mention all of the previous downgrades) you should know that I'm posting everything on bluesky also; eventually I'll be out of here forever. You should all come to bluesky instead, it is nicer.

Periodic reminder that I'm still posting all my work every day over on the other site, do come round if you would like to see it and/or say hi. My username there is the website name.

@frank_seravalli @IneffectiveMath This doesn’t even make sense, Bruins are currently 3 points up on the Sens and have played the same amount of game, yet they have less of a chance to make the playoffs than the Sens 🤷

What's at stake tonight in #NHL? Massive playoff implications. Using @IneffectiveMath's model and projections, we're talking about 20% swings in playoff probability for multiple teams with regulation wins.

In case you were wondering where I've been; I've gone to bluesky permanently. You can find me at @hockeyviz.com. It is much nicer there, btw.

"I think i said that 5 years ago" He was right 🤣 He probably originally said that back in 2012 #onhere

@jtbourne that quote you mentioned: "they should pay me to just say no 5 times a year" was @IneffectiveMath so far back in the day, i forgot that he said it and apparently started saying it myself. Then said it to him and he called me on it 🤣

@CJTDevil It looks good, all up. There's probably a fancy theoretical derivation from the distribution of scoring rates + typical width of the team quality distribution that produces it but I didn't bother this time.

Colorado is so good that they've broken through their y-axis, charged right through into Chicago's graph, lapped them, and are now a positive goal differential in another team's graph.

@CJTDevil Hard-coded to [-0.6,+0.6], in point of fact. (A slightly subtler calculation early in the season which isn't relevant any more.)

Wonk note: Based on the way this is built, it seems that his y-limits are just the symmetrical higher absolute value of the 2nd best or worst team. So, rn, that's Tampa. Colorado is more than twice as far from zero, which means they double up the y-limit crossing Chicago's xaxis

@snotrocketeer @HockeyViz My reach is larger over there with a quarter of the followers as here, you might find your reach is similar. There's a big enough range of opinion for people to be constantly arguing about interesting stuff, that's what I like.

If you've been meaning to come over to the good place but don't know who is there or how to find them, there are some starter packs compiled to help you: blueskystarterpack.com/nhl?sort=popul…

i remember someone saying during his draft year that Zach Benson was the best playmaker he had tracked since McDavid and i’ve never forgotten that

@CHurls13 Zach Benson is a great player but I don't do any manual tracking so it can't have been me.
