Avec la veste des Expos s'il vous plait.

Ce garçon a du goût

[Il Lombardia @Il_Lombardia]

From the roads of Il Lombardia to the heart of the action. 💚🏁

Seixas takes centre stage in Lyon, with special jerseys, an electric atmosphere and the ceremonial kick-off at Lyon vs. Nice. Il Lombardia takes over the pitch!
.
Dal Lombardia al centro del campo. 💚🏁

Seixas si prende la scena anche a Lione: maglie speciali, atmosfera da brividi e il calcio d’inizio di Lione-Nizza. Il Lombardia gioca fuori casa!

@CJTDevil For sure.

Hockey analytics is about measuring what we can observe, then using those measurements to infer what we actually care about.

But how do we know those inferences work?

A look at hockey analytics, testing, models, and the problem of measuring defense.

@CJTDevil Please don’t cave.

@CJTDevil HOW ABOUT A RANKING OF THE TOP 50……. ???

[Thibaud Chatel @Thibaud_Chatel]

@CJTDevil I always thought better assessing how a player fits in a lineup was something achievable with public data.
Your takes on it looks really good.

AND visually appealing, something public works lack

[Thibaud Chatel @Thibaud_Chatel]

@CJTDevil Love the skill badges and the roster vision of it.
Finally something new on public analytics.

[CJ Turtoro @CJTDevil]

I’ve written about hockey analytics for 15 years. In that time, I always wanted a site that dug into not only IF a player is good, but when, why, and how. Something to help writers and fans tell those stories.

3 months ago I started building it

... and today, it's live!

Good Morning Montreal, I hope you take the opportunity to watch the Womens World Championship race today.
It will be a magnificent race, and a worthy winner.

If you can, go out and support the women!

[NL Ice Data @NLIceData]

For those asking, since 2018 the 🇨🇭 National League had a shot tracker on https://t.co/psaLciVIlX, with basic information about the shooter, time and situation.

This isn't the case anymore.
That's why we don't have any 2026/27 shot data on https://t.co/BbZCPyOE68.

Merging A3Z metrics with NHL pbp to get full expected assists model and, as a consequence, expected points.

@yolo_pinyato Veterans criticizing modern plays is universal to every sport.

[Thibaud Chatel @Thibaud_Chatel]

NHL Hockey has reached the point where all athletes in the league have became so good they only push up the speed until someone makes a mistake.
Versus beating a weaker opponent cleanly thanks to superior skills/tactics/depth…

Cycling is the same right now

[Jay Recher @jayRecher]

When asked how the game has changed over the years, Nikita Kucherov gives an answer only he can…

“The game is faster….but very dumb. Low IQ.”

When I followed up asking “In what way?”

He says “the hockey way”

Classic Kuch.

[Thibaud Chatel @Thibaud_Chatel]

@moskstef Don’t confuse better quality plays (how to get quality chances versus dump and chase/point shots hockey) with higher IQ.

Coaches are smarter. Players are more skilled than before.
But at the end of the day, it’s still about executing faster than your opponent.
