I wonder if the former blogger stats guys' days are numbered. Tallon doesn't strike me as someone who gives a fat buffalo's butt about Corsi or Fenwick or all those other mind numbing tables and tables of numbers.

Neversummer Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 They were trending in the right way last year ... sad to see them fall apart like this. Must not be fun to go to work if you're a player there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Hockey and Football are completely different than Baseball. They are dynamic team sports, that some skills, and abilities just don't translate to stats. You don't have the one on one battle with pitcher vs. batter like baseball, where there's stats for everything. In football, it's not only when you are in the red zone (20 yards or less) but when you are in the red zone. For example, doesn't say much when you are down 42 to 7 and you get a touchdown in 6 plays. Or you throw for 300+ yards, go 24 for 25, but can't score a single touchdown. Or in hockey when you are down by a goal and score the GTG, and the GWG in the last 5 minutes. Speed, positioning, toughness. Or in football, able to win turnovers in the 4th quarter to hold onto the win. These are all things that some stats show, but don't tell the whole story.

JV77 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Well this is the best thing they could have done. I think the owners slowly realizing the advanced stats crap is crap, proof is in front of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally don't like Tallon, I really like what Arizona is doing with Chayka. I wish the Canucks would get a progressive, more analytical GM and just keep Benning as head scout. Florida should explore bringing in Gillis or Gilman (wish we kept Gilman). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonshinefe Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 why is this stupid franchise even in the NHL anymore? 80% of the seats are always empty and it seems like the management is playing musical chairs while the team (mostly full of young players who probably aren't benefiting from this...) struggle. I guess it's not news, but man, why are they in this league? heh. Well, I guess we get another team from a scorching hot place soon too while various Canadian cities would love teams and could actually bring in profits.. woohoo..

They do deserve credit though for realizing that given the choice between being "right" about analytics, or winning hockey games, that they've been heading in the wrong direction, and would rather go back to a proven winner with Tallon.

I understand that Bettman has always wanted to introduce the game to non-traditional hockey markets but those markets don't seem to want it. Its like trying to sell ice to eskimos. Time to get rid of the weak links and move them to where they have a chance to succeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then he's forgotten the late 90s and early 2000s when many of the canadian teams weren't doing well and were in danger of being moved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
