Ah yes, liberalizing land use so markets determine what gets built is “really left”. And that’s why @drewdilkens is defending the conservative position, where mayors and city hall bureaucrats centrally plan everything around housing. - - - What is even more absurd is that…
Just checked the people I follow for some keywords and I must say, you are good folk. However, there are some followers of mine that I wish I did not have. I don't use it often, but I have to stop wasting my time on the lost causes and start muting.
24-25 GF/60-GA/60 (5x5) Fox +0.90 Rangers w/o -0.24 +1.14 23-24: +1.26 22-23: +0.79 24-25 xGF/60-xGA/60 (5x5) Fox +0.62 Rangers w/o -0.59 +1.21 23-24: +0.48 22-23: +0.84 Relative to his teammates, Fox just had his best season in three years.
Exactly. Did anybody see how Fox played at 4 Nations? His excellent game has slipped. Ask the Rangers
Edmonton Oilers' new assistant coach, Pual McFarland is already winning me over.
“D-zone exits and quick hit transition accounted for 68% of the goals scored off the rush. All the other stuff has an impact on your ability to get through the neutral zone, but it doesn’t translate to goals…” Full presentation from Paul McFarland: hubs.la/Q03yWm8L0
If I see anyone championing Michael McLeod, there is an investigation around a 2014 serial assault involving 8 players of the Steelheads. It's likely McLeod was one of them.
A separate Alberta would be a poorer Alberta. My latest for @TheHubCanada on the fiscal and economic fantasies of those promoting independence: thehub.ca/2025/07/24/tre… #cdnecon #cdnpoli
We need a new format where 20 sane people shame the shit out of each facist one by one. In this anonymous era, public shaming is needed more than ever.
Watched a bit of the Mehdi Hasan debates, really think they highlight how useless these debates are. You're not going to convert these freaks, they're not only operating in bad faith, but they're happy to be fascists and just want the platform to say their horrible views
Panthers and Kings look better than the Oilers. Devils about the same. Oilers were a top 5 team in shot suppression.
This take is absolutely out to lunch. The problem with analytics is not the data but how you utilize it.
Using all situations is certainly a choice. 1- EDM was 21st in GA/60 5v5 despite being 4th in CF% (54.1%) 2- EDM was 25th in % of giveaways in the defensive zone. Stuart Skinner might not be great, but you could put a world class goalie behind that defensive group and he’d…
I totally forgot about Parkatti.
Up to 4 followers employed by NHL teams not that Dennis has joined the ranks. Two Canes, one Blue Jacket, and one from the Kings. Five if you count Stauff.

My point projections for Petrov is 5 NHL points. My point projections for Grubbe is 4 NHL points. About 10% of players that look like this go on to score 20+ points in the NHL.
For the top 50 projected forwards, these are the results: 200 GP+: 98% 500 GP+ : 82% 800 GP+: 52% 100 Pts+: 96% 300 Pts+: 72% 500 Pts+: 46%
Since everyone wants a Savoie one. If he plays 40GP/10 Pts 503 GP 207 Pts 0.41 Pts/GP 60 GP/20 Pts 643 GP 306 Pts 0.48 Pts/GP 80 GP/40 Pts 794 GP 453 Pts 0.57 Pts/GP 80 GP/60 Pts 827 GP 538 Pts 0.65 Pts/GP
Finished my NHL career point predictor for forwards based on AHL production at age 20 and NHL production at age 21. Name a forward born between 1984-2003 that played in the AHL at age 20 and I can give you their projected NHL GP and points.
