There were Toronto fancy stat bloggers calling Clarkson a 'puck hog' and 'chucker' before he signed. I don't think there are as many of these look-at-one-number people as we appear to be afraid there are.

Hirez posted:I'm sure in 2014, you could have some overhead camara, pinpoint the puck and just track is via CGI or some poo poo, without touching the puck, installing camaras at 50 different angles in each stadium, etc etc. The Raptors' stats guy (Alex Rucker) commented on twitter, and said that you'd need game footage recorded at 21 frames per second to track most events, and 30 frames per second for the really hard ones.

a false posted:nicholls was actually signed by the rangers after the leafs didn't sign him. he didn't do anything in his first pro season last year. He put up decent scoring numbers in the WHL, so if the Leafs didn't sign him I'm assuming that his skating must be unsalvageably bad.

Given that there seems to be a (slight) political dimension to how receptive people are to analytics, I'm mildly curious as to what Chris Hannah thinks of the corsis.

Rotten Cookies posted:The fact that his default tactic for CBA negotiations is to hold a lockout is sort of damning. And somehow it always gets spun that the players are to blame, but that prolly has to do with how the North American populace feels about employees in general. Bettman comes from the law firm of Proskauer Rose (who now represent all major NA sports leagues), who are notorious for being extremely anti-labour in ideology. I can't find the exact article now, but they are very interested in professional sports negotiations because they think of it as a good way to encourage anti-union sentiment.

ExtraSkater.com has been taken offline. Forums alum r-lam speculated that he's been picked up by the NHL to do his thing on their site, which would make a bit of sense with their new ToS. Makes as much sense as anything, I guess.

ThinkTank posted:When your motto is SPEND BIG on the three major sports teams you own and you end up with the Leafs missing the playoffs again, the Raptors getting 3 playoff wins and TFC being so-so, I'm not surprised he's on his way out. Probably been told to find new employment or get canned. Clarkson, Phaneuf, Bradley, Defoe, Lowry and DeRozan are big money signing that have shown relatively little success on the ice/field/court in comparison to their cost. Given that the Leafs seemed to show a marked shift in direction a couple weeks into free agency, I imagine that Shanahan made a move similar to one that Ujiri made shortly after being hired. Something to the effect of "you hired me to do this job now gently caress off and let me do it." (And the extension/acquisition of both DeRozan and Lowry predates Leiweke.)

JoelJoel posted:Nooonis/Carlyle still at the helm? In that case this org can continue self-immolating and I'll just enjoy the warmth. Nonis seems to have been Shermanned, and I imagine that Carlyle is gone pretty quickly (maybe even before the start of the year now that Leiweke is gone).

JoelJoel posted:I guess so, but still, a pretty hosed up turn of events. Why extend the now-worst-coach-in-the-NHL for two years if you're just going to shuffle the boys at the top? MLSE is so hosed up. The implication being that Carlyle's extension was a political move to help Leiweke save face after he'd declared Nonis/Carlyle the faces and saviours of the franchise.

Koopa Kid posted:Report out of Dreger when the meetings were going on was that it was Nonis who was going to bat for Carlyle the most, iirc. I can't imagine Randy going first with that in mind. Were such an occasion to arise, Nonis and Carlyle would likely officially go together. And again, I think that Nonis doesn't really make decisions anymore. eXXon posted:The Leafs finally realized that most NHL management is so incompetent that they can't compete with amateur bloggers using publicly available data and with a limited understanding of statistics. Metcalf isn't an analyst, but buying out his site so other teams can't use it is the sort of evil machination that a megarich team like the Leafs can use.

the talent deficit posted:did extraskater have any original research? it's kind of hilarious the leafs just bought out a website that just aggregates the nhls own stats Metcalf didn't do anything himself but his site was the only one that tracked a few things (for example, although I forget whether or not it ever went public, @SteveBurtch's delta-corsi). JoelJoel posted:They have a highly potent offense and (if last year can be counted on again) a really good keeper. Plus they managed to keep themselves in a playoff spot most of last year despite... well, we all know. I think this team is a playoff team without the present group of fuckwits running the show. They were a rocking 14th in the league last year in goals scored, and replicating that success this year would require a couple of the reclamation projects having pretty big years. Like, their 2nd line right now is probably Lupul-Kadri-Clarkson and that is... not really inspiring.

A good general guideline is "could this cause some legal type people to harass Lowtax," and I think we're mostly in the clear here but maybe don't overdo it?
