I WANT A POUTINE AND SIT DOWN

and lego!ovie, just giggling, no reason, why the fuck does he need a reason, he just killed the deer that ran into his front gate, his girlfriend’s an amazing tennis player who may or may not frequently hit him with her racket, ovie’s life is fucking great.

THIS IS WHAT THE TRAGIC REBOK COMMERCIAL WAS GOING FOR, THIS IS #FOMOH, THIS IS THE TRUTH THAT EVERY VIDEO THE NHLPA YOUTUBE ACCOUNT HAS EVER UPLOADED SEEKS:

So the other day scherbakss' beautiful mind envisioned Chris Higgins as a firefighter/paramedic. Well, that perfection inspired me to think of some more fun potential parallel versions of my favourites. I'd love to see yours :)

Zach Bogosian as a medieval knight and tournament champion

Jacob Trouba, Mark Scheifele and Zach Bogosian as a struggling but optimistic musical comedy trio

Mason Raymond as a baker in a tiny sweet shop, who can’t help but give away more than he sells

Tyler Seguin as a dog …no explanation necessary :P

PK Subban as a wildly popular Vegas entertainer/magician, dancing about in his brightly coloured suits

eddie no

So a while back I made a masterpost for people wanting to get into Fancy Stats. So instead of constantly responding to messages I have got around to creating a long masterpost: If you would like to be added to the tumblr users, throw me a nice message. On with the shows!

Extra skater recently died, but in it’s birth gave use LOTS more sites:

Behind the Net. Ye olde other ES replacement

Hockey Analysis : If your new this may seem a bit daunting but if you have a fetish for databases then go ahead.

Progressive Hockey One of the first to rise from the ES ashes. Very useful friend and pretty.

War on Ice DO YOU LIKE TABLES? Still in development but I like tables.

Fenwick Stats After Hockey Abstract made Fenwick situations popular. This appeared. Nice formula

Dangle Factory.Projected stats for players. Great if you are a fantasy nut. 

Journal of Hockey Analytics I can’t find a “tag” but if you want a nice chunk of reading a week. Go here.

Sporting Charts - I like pictures. This is where I get those “Heatmaps” I throw at people.

QuantlHockey -  Just another site.

ESPN Pentalies - I’;s really helpful to see who’s the dirty rats and who’s not.

ShutDownLine - This man if you did not know, spent his summer watching every single NHL game the past season and marking down zone entries. Follow him, he posts funny screencaps even if your not interested in fancystats. Dude took one for the team.

Not sure if you want to get into it? Not sure on fancy stats at all?

Here I’ll post a few little things if you were still undecided on the subject.

Laura Saba, one of my favourite female writers posted this about getting into fancystats Read the first part

Still stuck? Want to ask someone? 

There are plenty of people that are more than friendly to ask. Do not b scared! Berkshire might be known as “Jerkshire” but trust me, they are all very friendly. HEre’s my of the top list of twitter people who you can ask.

Andrewberkshire (Ignore what Dangle said he’s a friendly guy) / RegressedPDO / ShutdownLine / ArikParnass / MimicoHero / theactivestick <—another great female writer / ml_han <—guy who used to run Number Cruncher on the Canadiens website. / ngreenberg / happycaraT / robelbaz. / Most SbNation bloggers minus BattleOfCali are open to ask.  I float around EoTP and any questions, help or discussion the people there are pretty nice. Stay away rom BattleOfCali though. Trust me. 

…But I don;t have twitter and bigger forums scare me! What about tumblr???

Steve Dangle has a tumblr. the url is pretty obvious -> stevedangle

My inbox is always open

hastybooks is a not just a genius fanfiction writer.

lahs-ellah will probably say “I DON’T KNOW ANYTING” but trust me, she’s just as smart as me. 

There’s probably others. Feel free to add yourself onto this list if you 

I like Books.

Hockey Abstract - It’s cheap. It”s understable. It’s greatly interesting.

Shutdownline - Wants to release a book with his data!

Hockey Book Reviews - Books. Books Books.

More Books

What about other leagues?

Mimicohero - Posts random Fancy stats of the KHL

KHL Stats page - Might not have your CF but it has your TOI amongst other things for basic work. 

There is probably more. But I am not aware of them. I do not know the SHL very well other than “Laugh at modo”

Chris Tanev, after I told him my name ends with a “y”
