It was a close race in our data between Andrei Vasilevskiy and Logan Thompson for the Vezina. Thompson finished 1st by total Standings Points this season, but Vasi was close behind with a more consistent top-loaded game quality spread. Both would've been worthy winners!

On Jordan Spence's fit here in Ottawa. He played over 100 minutes with 3 other defencemen: Sanderson, Chabot, & Kleven. He sported a shot attempt share, expected goal share, and actual goal share of 61% or higher with all 3 of them. The one exception being GF% with Chabot (at 48%)

Dylan Larkin is coming off a bit of a down-year by his standards in the
lb-hockey.com
data this season. Still, he remains a super fast and talented 1C who can play tough minutes, contribute on the powerplay, and come up big in the clutch. What kind of package is Detroit looking for in return?

Over the last couple months, we've been grinding away at some LB-Hockey improvements so here's a thread going over all the new stuff 🧵 First, we added 2025-26 data to our xG model fitting. All of our tools, especially the Steals & Chokes Log, are greatly benefitting from this!

The Stanley Cup Finals begin tonight! Two of the best play-driving & special teams squads in the league face off. VGK will look to gain their edge by smothering the Canes' breakouts with their forecheck. While CAR's rush offence and blue line denials are sizeable advantages. 📈

Our data valued Werenski as the worthy Norris winner this season 🔥 There are obviously some flaws in the model like Seider being just barely outside this list when he should be on here, EK65 placing a bit high, but we're pretty happy with where our list landed for 2025-26! 📈

Yesterday evening, we were invited to the Ron Kolbus clubhouse for the cheque presentation from our Walk To The CTC. Always such a blessing to meet the crew and kids at BGC Ottawa that we fundraise for. What they are doing is amazing and so integral to our communities across the city.

Bingo When I "use AI" for something, it is because some jackass has shoved it in somewhere it doesn't need to be, often in place of a non-AI version of the feature that worked just fine
