@eliteprospects Very sad to hear. I owe a lot to EP and Johan from the very early days of its existence. What he was able to pull off in the 2000s was nothing short of amazing. Many thanks and my thoughts are with the @EliteProspects family at this time.

My NHL site is now live!

There are many features that you can't find anywhere and I'm quite proud of this project.

However, I could really use your help spread the word. Please share the link here on Twitter/X, but also on other platforms. It means a lot

@NHLFoley This also wasn’t the first analytics department in NHL history, by about 6 years.

@JhanHky @MichaelFarkasHF @JFreshHockey This is what I remember as well. NHL went back to 82-83, behindthenet had 70-79 (but not 80-82, lol) and I had to dig deep for everything else.

@JhanHky @eliteprospects @JhanHky, I somehow pieced together save % going back to 52-53 in 2012 or so. https://t.co/EYyNwYCTZh, the hockey summary project, and a few others had parts of the whole. https://t.co/9KIpUQ2PuE now has save % going back to 55-56. https://t.co/jzw7Va8BcO

This is the fastest game I’ve ever seen in my life. Seeing players of this talent level challenged in this way on both sides has been amazing. What a crazy game. Canada should be up 4-1. Go Hellebuyck. #GoUSA.

As some of you know, I've been struggling with crappy health for a year+ which, in September, turned out to be non Hodgkins lymphoma. My six rounds of chemo finished up in late January. The good news is that my PET scan results came back with no sign of cancer remaining. So I'm officially in remission! I'm no hero and I didn't do anything special. I got lucky. Some don't get lucky.

Fifteen thousand fans once booed me in my own building.

I was 20.
Making millions.
And not living up to it.

This book isn’t about trophies. It’s about what I had to change when talent wasn’t enough.

A question that forced me to grow:

“What are your standards?”

EARNED comes out April 14th.

Russos say the past four weeks are NOT Trailers 🤔

[Christopher Baker @ChrisBakerAM]

@Matt_barlowe @CJTDevil Not to use dated references, but I think of Keith Tkachuk or John Leclair. Either crashing or just setting up shop in front of the crease, receiving passes or gathering rebounds - generated primarily through physicality. More obviously valuable pre lockout rule changes.

[Christopher Baker @ChrisBakerAM]

@EricCrossMLB @apmeek_10 He also has to compete with Hope and De Paula.

[Christopher Baker @ChrisBakerAM]

@MarcPDumont Agreed.

@Jared_Carrabis Not sure if someone already said it, but the Pujols-Lidge game.
