The Blake - Hall - Stankoven line has been so good all playoffs long. In 127 5v5 minutes, they've put up some REALLY good numbers » 68.4% xGF 64.4% CF 71.4% GF (10GF / 4GA) Taylor Hall has been Carolina's best player all post-season.

Curious to see if Montreal changes line deployment this series. The Carrier/Matheson (44% xGF) pairing and Caufield/Slaf/Suzuki (42.5% xGF) line have been underwater all playoffs. Trying to match up against Blake/Hall/Stankoven (61% xGF) will be a tough task.

Carolina is 8-0. Montreal won back-to-back Game 7s to get here. They meet Thursday with the Eastern Conference on the line, and the model has a clear favorite. Some thoughts ahead of Game 1. #NHLPlayoffs

The last two Western Conference champions, head to head. Colorado vs Vegas. Presidents' Trophy winner vs the team nobody can put away. Some thoughts ahead of Game 1 tonight. #NHLPlayoffs

Buffalo made the wrong goalie call. Playoffs GSAx: Luukkonen -2.59 & Lyon +4.97 Game 7: Luukkonen -0.2 & Dobes +2.73 for Montreal. The pattern held. Series over.

Most people don't know this, but back in 1912, Hellmann’s mayonnaise was manufactured in England. In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars of the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was to be the next port of call for the great ship.

Happy Noah Kahan tiny desk concert day! 🔥

The Hurricanes and Flyers take a 2-0 series lead, the Stars grab one at home to even up their series & the Oilers get Draisaitl back and take Game 1 at home! Carolina gets a 2.4% bump to win the cup. Follow along here for full up to date numbers. 👇 hockeygamebot.com/playoffs/2026/

Also I need to be more active on here and follow more people on here. 🤔

I hate that my most productive time of the day to write code is at night but that I also have to be up at 4:30AM for work.

Avalanche, Sabres, Canadiens & Golden Knights all take Game 1 in their respective series. An absolutely incredible day of hockey. Follow along here for full up to date numbers. 👇 hockeygamebot.com/playoffs/2026/

Senators, Bruins, Oilers and Golden Knights all punched their tickets tonight. The playoff field is almost set! Not following your team's bot yet? Lock in. 🔒 @ott.hockeygamebot.com @bos.hockeygamebot.com @edm.hockeygamebot.com @vgk.hockeygamebot.com

👇 launched a new part of the site to easily find your team's bot or subscribe to the full game bot list (on both platforms)!

Check out yesterday's scores below & at hockeygamebot.com for full breakdowns!

If you run into any bugs with the site or the live stream, let me know so I can get a fix out for it. Hope you enjoy all these new features - they were a lot of fun to design and build!

One of my favorite game bot features. I actually leave this open in a tab on my computer or on my phone - it's fun to hear the goal horns & goal announcements as they happen (I try to be as near real time as possible with both pieces of audio).

Thanks to everyone who checked out the new @hockeygamebot.com site or tuned into one of the streams! Back at it fixing some bugs and adding some new features like exportable game cards, which include better (& smoother) WP values and added 5v5 xG numbers & flows. Big 14-game slate tonight!

Turn every game night into Stats Red Zone for hockey. Live NHL scoreboard streams on Twitch, YouTube & X - auto-starts before puck drop and keep the most exciting games front & center. Just open a tab or keep it on your phone. Never miss a goal. www.twitch.tv/hockeygamebot

Time for a relaunch of hockeygamebot.com 🎉 A @hockeygamebot.com powered near real-time NHL scoreboard built for people who want every game in one view. Dynamic layout adjusts to the slate + auto-sorts by “excitement score” so the best games are always on top.

UPDATE: All Natural Stat Trick charts should be back in all game bots tonight & going forward. 📈

I think baseball may be one of my favorites because I can watch it during the day while I work. Just throw on a game on the TV in my office and it's just like wonderful background noise.

Not to live inside in an echo chamber here, although I believe it's not as bad as it once was, but every argument I get into (political or not) on the other site always ends up being with someone on the wrong side of history. It's as if they need to argue with someone to fill a quota.

How are things here? It's been a while.

claude code help me build a tool that roasts your receipts uploaded mine from dinner from the other night "you ordered like someone negotiating peace between small humans" 💀 "this is what surrender looks like on a Friday night" try yours ↓ roastmyreceipt.app | @roastmyreceipt.app

Really enjoying the new emotions engine powering @njd.hockeygamebot.com (& the others). So much better than the generic goal posts that lack any kind of excitement. Hope you like them too!

I think my favorite part of the new conversation engine is the excitement for OT winners now instead of just the generic Overtime Goal text I used to use.

When it works (fixing bugs as I see them), conversation engine really brings a ton of personality to the game bots instead of the generic tweets. 👌🏻

Finally got approval to distribute the iOS version via TestFlight! 👇 Drop me a DM if you want to beta test it!

Post game recap videos on Instagram! 👇 www.instagram.com/hockeygamebot

This helps me spend less time on Twitter & I love knowing who is scoring goals. Waiting on Apple & Google to make these available for testing. 🤞 hopefully soon!

Started as a Twitter bot. Now it's an app. Funny how side projects evolve. Coming soon! 👇

We've come quite a long way since I launched @njd.hockeygamebot.com 7 years ago & I have a TON more things planned to launch soon! 😏

Testing in progress 👀📱 No more relying on social notifications - customizable game notifications, right in the app. Will provide launch updates as we get closer!

The Hockey Game Bot website now has custom date URLs which will show each reel uploaded for that day & a direct link to it (along with the NHL recap headline) - check it out!

Post-game recaps posted to IG reels now. Working on making them even better over the next week. Go check them out! 👇

I am really enjoying how the final stats posts look for each game bot. I am going to incorporate stat leaders into the final post like the end of period ones, but other than that these are three perfect ways to visualize the game (especially with the period by period breakdown). #hockeygamebot

✅ SOG breakdown by period in team game stats charts. ✅ NST states broken down by period & full game state (so far). These turned out so well. 🔥 --- As always huge thanks to @naturalstattrick.com for making all these advanced stats so readily available for us. 🤝

@sammich-blt.bsky.social do you know *approximately* how long after a PeriodEnd event happens in the play-by-play data that you mark your game as Period End as well? Obviously want to play nice since I am running 32 bots now so don't want to hammer the site (I figure a 10s delay is plenty).

👇 Should be available in games starting tomorrow!

The original Devils game bot account is the reason there are now 32 of these! Genuinely thankful for everyone who followed early, interacted, and helped this grow into something bigger than I expected. Have a Merry Christmas fellow #NJDevils fans!

I mean who else but Jack. 🎉
