As points of reference, with Ovi on the ice: defensively it's been significantly worse than facing Connor McDavid and offensively it's like facing Jordan Staal non-stop (this despite a 100% Off. Zone Start %). (Again, stick tap to @hockeyviz.com on the viz)

At some point this becomes (became?) untenable. Crikey. (Viz via @hockeyviz.com)

Information that would have been useful to me before I plugged him into a DFS lineup yesterday...

Preseason obviously doesn't mean a thing, but holy hell did the Caps' 5v4 PP generate some offense (and the margins by which they were first in CF/60, xGF/60, SCF/60, HDCF/60). Let's hope if carries over into the regular season. Also, the elephant (not) in the room... (via @naturalstattrick.com)

This stuff is somewhat cyclical and absolutely partially driven by the opponent's current relevance (quality, really). Ten years ago, my answer was quite different, as it was ten years before that, etc.

100%. For me it's CAR <Grand Canyon> PIT <smallish gap> CAR again ffs.

Haven't even considered an offer, but for my money... how certain are you that he's better than Ilya Protas at this moment (to say nothing of PLD/Strome)?

Incredible news for the "deez nuts!" joke industrial complex, as it tries to navigate the global decline of Wendy's...

Hey, no shit - I rule

For the Caps' power play to get back on track, Ovi's Office may need to relocate, per @theotherrobparker.bsky.social

@japersrink.bsky.socialSep 4, 2026, 1:22 PM

That would be great. Since they lost exclusivity on Star Wars games, we've gotten a lot of great titles.

@japersrink.bsky.socialSep 4, 2026, 12:52 PM

I guess the 20 copies they must sell a year pays for the miniscule tweaks that they make to the game itself, so... win?

This reminds me of being at the gate in Atlanta and some old guy is yapping at the agent. Me (to my wife and brother): Calm down, Gary Busey. It was Gary Busey, who procedes to turn to the crowd of onlookers and advise, "You're allowed to be loud when you got diarrhea." Truer words, amirite?

At the gate at JFK. Me: who is blasting music? Wife: Tracy Morgan Looks up. It is Tracy Morgan.

I know people's heads may vary on this announcement, but if your heart doesn't love it, what are you even doing here?
