Thufir posted:Having the puck on your stick is not really a good possession indicator since you can spend a lot of time with complete control over the puck without having your stick physically in contact with it. It's probably way easier to just pay someone $10 an hour to watch the game and track it manually. Sure, but this way you'd have an entire game graphed out on a rink which could be played back in real time, showing who's in possession of the puck, where the puck travels to (say a pass being made from one stick to another) which would indicate possession and how it's being utilized, where it's shot from and all the typical analytical registers you'd get from someone watching the game and tallying it manually. You'd have the full 60-65 minutes of play recorded for playback with every piece of statistical information at your fingertips save for hits and blocks. It's not that often in the NHL you'll see teams leave the puck in their zone defensively without someone controlling it, and most certainly they're always going to be trying to gain possession in the attacking zone. To clarify: The puck will always be tracked regardless of who is in possession or not, but the stick transceiver will register when a specific player possesses the puck.

The NHL is already tracking players on the ice: http://www.powerscouthockey.com/who-is-the-nhl-fastest-skater-tracking-data-finally-provides-the-answers/ Who knows if/when they'll ever share the data, though. This is just from optical tracking, but they could easily put RFID/whatever chips in skates, sticks, pucks, anywhere. In fact I recall reading that they were doing exactly that this season, but again, don't expect to see the results anytime soon.

More advanced tracking of the puck is already coming. I had the pleasure of being one of the "test" players for the sportsvision technology and it was pretty fuckin' futuristic. It knew when you had the puck, and could trace back the path you skated through your entire shift and wouldn't lose track of you on the bench. They could even do iso-cams of individual players. http://deadspin.com/player-tracking-technology-is-coming-to-hockey-itll-ch-1575703133

Hmm I wonder if they could have gotten more for Perron at the deadline. He's a solid 2nd line player who managed to give a good effort and bring a physical element to the game every night even on a tire fire team like the Oilers. From the perspective of the Oilers, I don't know if it's such a great idea to give away one of the few actual class veterans on the team who plays the right way. That team already has major problems with leadership. But I guess we can't be too surprised when Perron was the guy who was brave enough to stick his neck out and criticize management.

Seems like a really good trade for the Penguins. Probably will slot in as a winger for Malkin or Crosby and he is on a cap-friendly deal for a guy who is likely to put up 50+ points (over a full season). Also he is shooting 6.8% this season which isn't likely to continue (his career average is 12.8%), so he's probably more of a 10 goal-scorer at this point in the season rather than a 5 goal-scorer. Edit: I guess Klinkhammer is going back to Edmonton. Don't really know much about him and how he affects the value of this trade. Mind_Taker fucked around with this message at 18:30 on Jan 2, 2015 |

Sounds like Rob Klinkhammer is going back.. reported as confirmed on Edmonton radio. Klinkhammer is a good depth forward, atleast that's something to add to that terrible roster.

MPS and an early 2nd for Klinkhammer and a probably late 1st so long Perron  This likely means Pouliot is back tonight at least

Let that be a lesson to the rest of the Oilers... all you have to do is be frustrated after a loss and demand some accountability from teammates and you too could escape from Alcatraz.

Also if Blake Comeau can be made into somewhat of an offensive threat, then Perron's probably going from 5 goals to 30 by the end of the year.

haha ok poor poor Klinkhammer. If Perron is the lucky one here Klickhammer must be on suicide watch. Going from the Yotes, to a hot minute with the Pens and then somehow going to an even worse team that before...

William DePaoli @TIOPS_DePaoli Penguins looked into Perron in early November, the ask was Brandon Sutter. Two months later get him for a first round pick. That's value. I don't know how credible this guy is but found this interesting.

We keep talking about how much better we are this year, but for me it is the same record now that we had last year. It is not better."

Bit of a long read, but it might of interest to some people around here. Regarding Howe's treatment since his stroke back in October: http://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/stem-cells-versus-gordie-howes-stroke-part-2/ tl;dr: Howe's family worked with a stem cell therapy clinic based in Mexico to include him in a research trial, which apparently led to a "miraculous" recovery even though there is poor evidence it actually did anything and good indicators he never should have been eligible to take part in the trial. The whole thing reads to me like Crosby's spinning chair treatment.

In other trade news, I've been traded to Toronto. Will be living there at least until the end of the regular season. I wonder how long it will take for an angry Leafs fan to stab me outside of Kilgours.
