Imagining a beautiful future where every coach knew who their best six defenders were.

Yesterday's games:

the Jays beating the Yankees is an important reminder that as dark as things may seem, bad things can still happen to bad people

Open role with our Football/Media Data & Analytics teams at the NFL - please reach out if this seems like a good fit

Matthews having a good night in the circle so far.

Jack Eichel (8x13.5m extension with Vegas) is a great creator of offence and a great converter of offence into goals; drives his team's penalty differential in the right direction.

This kind of over-annotation is grating. It's not enough to title the things, somehow we need additional, longer titles on top of the first titles? And meaningless arrows to boot. Like being followed around by a shopkeeper, so eager that you'll find something to buy that they won't leave you alone.

Mattias Ekholm (3x4m extension with Edmonton) is a top-pair defender.

Kyle Connor (8x12m extension with Winnipeg) is a shoot-first skater who shoots often, and well, from the right circle.

I admire it

It's a great time of year.

I reckon the Carolina Hurricanes will win the cup.

if somebody wants to give me a lot of money, i promise to make something utterly and completely useless

I've toned this one down a bit; it used to be a shade busy.

My season preview for this year: I did a better job than usual, I think.

Today's games:

If you aren’t allowed to boo the opposing team’s best player then fold up sports there is no point

Is it well-known how to invert matrixes of the form I + K where K is positive definite? I feel like I knew this once.

And, to complete the trifecta of pre-season business, I've posted an updated season preview with some minor bugfixes, taking into account the roster changes since last week: bsky.app/profile/hock...

Tomorrow is also when I'm doing the draw for my tenth-anniversary-poster-celebration-free-subscription-year, so get on that today also if you've been meaning to. bsky.app/profile/hock...

Season starts tomorrow so if you want to enter my (free! and lucrative!) prediction contest, you should. It's like working, but more fun.

Thread🧵 PWHL App: I've made an App where you can find and analyse PWHL. It's connected to the Shotplotter App I made a few weeks ago, in that you can download Lineups and PBP data which can then be imported into the Shotplotter. pwhl.onrender.com

Maybe the Rangers can get an NHL-quality season out of Conor Sheary (he signed a cheap deal with them) but then again, maybe not.

The Koyukuk River near Huslia, Alaska.

Jake Walman (7x7m extension with Edmonton) is a #2 defender.

Connor McDavid (2x12.5m extension with Edmonton) is a surprisingly good hockey player.

The Bruins are gonna retire Chára's number and well they might. This is just the 30+ part of his career!

watching baseball is fun. It's a fun thing a person can do

Home sweet home

Yesterday's games, fixed:

The Senator waiving Kaliyev, who is legitimately good, in order to keep MacDermid on the roster, is extremely silly. In fact it would be silly no matter who they were waiving him for.

Update: he cracked the roster (1x1m).

My continuing #hockeyfightsdv pledge is 5% of all HockeyViz subscriptions to bryonyhouse.ca. The total for September and October is $761.26.

That's a lot of penalties for a pre-season game.

Filip Gustavsson (5x6.8m extension with Minnesota) is a lifetime -5% goalie.

Yesterday's games:

MacEwan for MacDermid is one of those trades that makes you ask: why

If you let too many people know that you're having a good time then your funding will get cut a second time. That's why so many academics get how they are but the joy it's safer to affect that you don't feel is still v. widely felt.

I think for me the most compelling answer for "why fund basic research?" (and the one most relevant to the people doing the work) is that humans are curious and finding stuff out makes us happy and fulfilled. Science is a thing humans like. Life would be more dull and sad if we didn't do it. end/🧵

In case you missed it the other day: my season preview for 2025-2026.

I hadn't clocked how cute it was for aol to stop dialup at the end of september specifically.
