I’m with Hallsy Potter
As we roll towards the conclusion of another utterly awful year of Oilers hockey, it becomes more and more difficult to care about anything associated with the team. The terrible hockey and terrible decision making just starts to numb you after a while. The impact on your fandom is like freezing to death; after a [...]

Belanger’s Third Year
Jason Gregor made what I think is a very fair point over on OilersNation about Eric Belanger the other day. He hasn’t dipped the past few years, in fact his point totals increased slightly. No one could have predicted he’d be this bad, so saying he was a bad signing is wrong. He’s been bad, [...]

Wherein I’m sure I’ll get slapped around in the comments
There’s a fascinating story floating around today about the New Jersey Devils’ owners looking to securitize their future revenue streams from television. The gist of it would seem to be this: His New Jersey Devils hockey team is months late on an $80 million debt payment to lenders and is looking for a balance-sheet miracle [...]

Skepticism I
There’s something unfortunate that happens when people with an interest in sports stats become simultaneously interested in turning a profit from that interest. The desire to generate a profit creates an incentive not to publish the guts of your work, so as to create a body of proprietary knowledge that people will pay you for. [...]

Applied Scoring Chances
Jason Gregor raises a good point in the comments to my last post: The Oilers have 32 PP goals 5on4 at the midway point of the season, last year they had 41. Wouldn’t you say they are significantly better on the PP. I would argue that the combination of RNH and Eberle have made them [...]

Steve Who?
Steve Tambellini spoke to Jim Matheson the other day, giving a sort of update on where things are at this season and relative to his expectations. I’ve been kind of tracking what Tambellini says about expectations this season because it’s never been entirely clear to me what, exactly, he and the Oilers were expecting. Unsurprisingly, [...]

Star Posts 2010-11 NHL Ticket Revenue Numbers
The occasional leaking of NHL financial data to the Toronto Star is always a fun reminder of the extent to which the NHL exists to rip off Canadians and hockey fans. The confidential document shows that the six Canadian NHL clubs last season accounted for about 33 per cent of the $1.2 billion (U.S.) in [...]
