Car prices are down. Last year a BMW cost $60K and this year a Hyundai only costs $30K. Trump has brought vehicle prices down 50%. There is nothing wrong with Hyundai. These people are so out of touch.

Is he really saying the hassles of air travel is caused by people wanting to wear comfortable clothing and not the added security hassles, crowded airports, flight delays, flight cancelations, baggage fees, seat fees, cramped seats, etc.?

So Trump is going to drop tariffs on everything that impacts Americans pocketbooks? Trump's solution to all the problems he creates is to hit Ctrl+Z.

The narrative (especially from Poilievre/Conservatives) is Carney got elected to strike a deal with the U.S. I think Carney got elected build relationships like this. The deal with the U.S. will only come to be when Trump is ready to make a fair deal but we can still do more agreements like this.

One more step on my way to build an all encompassing NHL salary cap, analytics, news and analysis website at TheStanleyCap.com.

And one NHL standings observation for this morning. There are 10 NHL teams with precisely 22 points. That's 31.25% of the league with 22 points. Crazy.

Todays goal differential observations... It is a tale of two divisions in the eastern conference. No Atlantic division team has a goal differential above 0. BOS is even, every other team is negative. In the Metropolitan division, every team has a positive goal differential except NYI who are -1.

The great dealmaker thinks that individual Americans can negotiate better deals with health insurance companies than he can. Why can't the great dealmaker just negotiate a 1000%, 1200%, or even a 1500% reduction in insurance premiums like he did with drugs?

I'm happy Pelletier is getting another opportunity. He's having another solid AHL season and I still think he can be a useful contributor to an NHL team if given a real opportunity to show what he can do.

Random Saturday morning observations of team goal differentials in the NHL: Every team in the Metropolitan division has an even (CBJ) or positive goal differential. In the Atlantic, 7 of 8 teams are between -4 and +1 (BUF is -14). Only 4 of 24 teams outside the Atlantic are between -4 and +1.

I'm happy to announce that I have added NHL Edge Team Reports to Puckalytics including NHL Edge Skating, Shot Speed and Zone Time reports. I'll also be adding this data to TheStanleyCap.com Team Pages in the coming days. puckalytics.com/reports/team...

Let me check in with the Sabres to see how separate fan bases are working out...

Not showing your cards and not telegraphing your plans to your enemies is a great war strategy. I am not sure it is a great strategy here, unless you think Americans wanting good affordable health care is your enemy, or you still don't have a plan and need another 'two weeks'.

This is a complete list of Western Conference NHL teams with a positive goal differential as of today. COL +13 WPG +12 ANA +11 VGK +8 UTA +7 CHI +4 That's it, and 3 of those teams missed the playoffs last year meaning 5 of last seasons western conference playoff teams are underwater this season.

Let me write a short thread as it is of interest to many. I'll start off by saying that the landscape has changed from when I got into hockey analytics and when I got hired by the Calgary Flames.

Prime Minister of Ontario?

41 runners left on base for the Blue Jays in games 3, 6 and 7 combined. A season defined by being able to string together hits for big innings but they couldn't quite do it in those three games. A great season otherwise and one to remember for Blue Hays fans despite the ending.

Gausman is trying to outdo Yesavage.

While thousands of government employees are forced to go to work while not getting paid, Mike Johnson is voluntarily choosing not to work but is still receiving his paycheck.

Happy Anniversary to TheStanleyCap.com. One year ago today, on Oct 30, 2024, The Stanley Cap officially opened its doors on the World Wide Web. It's been a year of ups and downs, learning and growing, and adding new features.

I am curious how close Necas' contract is to what the Avalanche were offering Rantanan before they traded him.

One more announcement, and this is a good one. I am happy to announce that through database and code optimizations I have achieved significant reductions in page load times making the user experience significantly better. Team and Player pages load 50-60% faster than previously.

The Blue Jays could have won the world series tonight if they had intentionally walked Ohtani in the 7th inning of game 3. But better to do it at home I guess?

Varland had given up 4 runs on 6 hits and 2 walks in his last 4 outings (4.1 IP). He might be getting over worked. He absolutely needs tomorrow off.

I hate even more that they didn't run Bassitt for another couple innings. He was a starter all year and he only pitched 8 pitches in an 18 inning game where the starter went just 4.1 innings.

Blue Jays strand their 45th and 46th runners this game. *not really, just seems that way.

Perfect timing for Rogers Cable TV to stop working...

These two bullpens are one inning away from both pitching complete game shutouts. Go figure.

If the Blue Jays had intentionally walked Ohtani 5 plate appearances ago they may not have needed to intentionally walk him 4 straight times.

TD needs to retire the Springer borrowing the comfy green chair commercial considering Springer has DHed all year.

Why would they bring in Hoffman on the road in a tie game after such a good Bassett inning.

They should have been using Bassett earlier in thus game and not for just one inning.

No Dominguez, you should have walked Ohtani, not these guys.

Big meeting on the mound with the pitching coach and you pitch one right down the middle of the strike zone. Ugh.

He's TACOing before even implementing the announced tariffs. He's a poker player with a pair of 2's bragging about having a straight flush, hoping his opponents will fold.

Will the new 10% tariff apply to all imports from Canada? Bessent: the ad has been taken down so we'll have to see. They are preparing the TACOs already.

Colonel Sanders is at the Blue Jays-Dodgers game. Behind the plate slightly towards 3rd base.

If any anti-Trump organization really wants to annoy Trump run an ad featuring Reagan's last speech as President. m.youtube.com/watch?v=2R8Q...

It is going to be tough economic times for Canada, but there can be no trade deal with such a thin skinned President. His word is worthless. Carney must match with counter tariffs and maybe export tariffs on oil and energy. Being friendly has gotten nothing.

The Brewers had 12 hits in the NLCS. Blue Jays have 12 through 5 1/3 innings.

So far it's Ohtan-who??

I don't really understand why a dozen other teams weren't interested in Reichel at a cost of a 4th round pick. His career has been mixed so far but he has some skill and there is still upside. Good skater, not a hard shot but a good shot. He just never found his role on the re-building Blackhawks.

This should be Ontario advertisement #2.

It absolutely sounds like this is nothing more than a negotiating tactic and has little to do with the ad. Carney is standing tough in negotiations, and Trump hates it. We have what they need. Steel. Aluminum. Lumber. Energy. Stay tough Canada. Let's not capitulate now.
