- Should We Fold !Hockey@Lemmy.World into !Hockey@Lemmy.ca?
If so, how should we go about it?
It's mid season and there doesn't seem to be much interest in this community while !Hockey@Lemmy.ca seems to be more regularly active. I was going to give it a full season, but I think the trend is pretty clear already.

- Breaking down NHL Edge data: How important is shot speed and location?theathletic.com How important is shot speed and location in the NHL?
Do teams with harder shots score more goals above expected? Where do the most goals come from? Let's break it down.
A few weeks ago, the NHL finally unleashed its long-awaited player tracking data onto the public. Now it’s time to dissect what it all means.
Sometimes, all it means is “that’s cool!” — and that’s OK. Sometimes a fun little tidbit is all a stat has to be. But it’s still worth looking into how meaningful all the new numbers are and what bucket they fall into: relevant info or interesting trivia.
Each new stat poses its own interesting questions worth answering and that’s the goal of this series; diving into the new data to see how much it matters.
Let’s talk about shooting.

- Who is your team and why?
Thought I’d try and get some traction here.
Jets fan because I started watching them when they came back into the league and loved their vibe. Before that liked Pittsburgh and San Jose cos I was 6 when I saw them on tv at my hockey loving cousins house.
Soft spot for Seattle, Minnesota, Isles and Boston (minus Marchand).
