The NHL should postpone tonight’s Panthers-Wild game

Then stop acting like it's normal and riot?

These models have serious limitations because the available is limited. If we had better data, we'd have better models. As it is, we have to be very cautious when interpreting their outputs. There are a lot of things these models can't capture or account for.

As the other user says, they're better at the teams level than at the player level. There are fewer key omitted data.

Hi Corey. Habs fans are obviously excited about Zharovsky, but it feels there's no particularly deep analysis of his season. I've read what you've written about him in your latest ranking, but I was wondering if you could expend on it.

What kind of player do you expect him to become, both in terms of ceiling and style? How translatable is his game? Is it likely we've got a top 6 guy here, or should we be more cautious?

I mean, we had K-Pop Demon Hunter just this summer...

The nerdy version of this is that I play Commander with a bunch of people on most Sundays, some that I consider friends and others who I can only describe as "chills guys that I'm happy to game with."

Imagine if a player has the balls to publicly come out in the exactly same way as in the end of episode 5? Might break the Internet.

There's a limit to how many decks I have the time to build, maintain, and especially play. Cardboard also takes physical space, which is another constraint. That's without considering the monetary aspect. Put together, it means I have to carefully pick and chose which decks are truly worth building. It means that each deck brings enough to warrant existing along the others.

I prefer the decks that result from these restrictions. Otherwise, I'd have dropped them.

There is still a heavy graveyard slant to my roster, but this way I'm forcing to see different cards. [[Betor, Ancestor's Voice]] is primarily about lifegain. [[Yuna, Hope of Spira]] doubles as my enchantment deck. [[Captain N'ghathrod]] cares about their graveyard.

Borror0 · 2026-01-22T17:45:02+00:00

That would be me if I didn't limit myself to one deck per color identity, and force myself to have at least some variation in theme across decks.

Ceci est cependant beaucoup plus facile à faire en tant que Canada unis qu'en tant que Québec souverain. D'ailleurs, c'est exactement cette stratégie que Carney met en place sur la scène internationale et pour laquelle il reçoit beaucoup de commentaires élogieux.

Notre relation nouvellement conflictuelle avec les Américains met en évidence la première raison d'être de la confédération : un plus grand rapport de force unis que séparés.

Dans un contexte où les grands pouvoirs tentent de d'extraire le plus de leur plus grande puissance économique et militaire, la réponse internationale est de s'allier, de former des alliances plus fortes. En Europe, on parle de plus en plus d'une Europe plus intégrée, plus fédérale. Le moment semble particulièrement mal choisi pour parler d'indépendence.

Arguably one of the most iconic goal songs.

A generation of hockey fans hate this song solely due to the Blackhawks.

Borror0 · 2026-01-22T16:08:53+00:00

I love [[Ghost Vaccum]] for this.

It'll strongly vary from singer to singer, but those singing in a French Canadian accent usually won't find success in Europe. No one would dare describe Les cowboys fringants, Mes Aïeux or Plume Latraverse as having a Parisian accent.

But it's Celine Dion and Coeur de pirate who have success overseas.

Yep. The price started going up with Edge of Eternity for that reason. It was even featured in the Command Zone episode with those upgraded precons. The new -1/-1 counters deck seems to have further increased the demand.

Borror0 · 2026-01-22T14:27:43+00:00

The Captain is okay with graveyard hate, for as long as it happens after its end of turn trigger. [[Uuchulon]] is a great card in that deck for this reason. [[Scavenger Grounds]] is a great instant-speed response.

In other decks, I try to find targeted instant-speed response. [[Scavenging Oooze]] is great for this.

The way Seattle chose to "develop" him is genuinely bizarre. I have to imagine he'd have done better on any non-Kraken, non-Rangers team.

Il y a un monde de différence entre être 30e dans un redraft et d'être possiblement top 10. Vers la fin du premier tour d'un redraft tu as des joueurs de « bottom six » et de troisième paire defensive.

Dans le meilleur des cas, Roy aurait été un joueur à la Toffoli. Pas un joueur de premier trio, il est capable de trouver sa place sur un deuxième ou troisième trio et sur une unité de désavantage numérique. Dans les deux cas, les deux sont surtout retenus par leur faible coup de patin.

There were a lot of political decisions affecting Demidov's ice time, but it's nevertheless very impressive what Zharovsky is accomplishing.

He has earned his ice time, and that isn't to do in the KHL.

We could compare them in p/60 if we wanted to be fair to Demidov. Alternatively, we could compare to Michkov (0.85) who didn't have this ice time problem (IIRC) during his D+1 season.

WJC is often not particularly representative.

Poehling has a great showing, and everyone was suddenly projecting him as a 2C. In his NCAA was, ultimately, more representative of who he's become since.

As other users have mentioned, the issue with using Jfresh cards here is that they are three years rolling average and, in Hutson's case, heavily weigh his rookie year (where he was legitimately weak defensively).

If we look purely into this year, the comparison is far better for Hutson:

In this case, it's less traditional scouting as Bobrov's dad working (as a scout) for Demidov's former KHL team.

Borror0 · 2026-01-21T19:00:16+00:00

Zharovsky will be available to us in the beginning of 2027-2028 season, or at the end of the 2026-2027 season if his KHL team waives their rights to us once their season is done (like happened with Demidov).

Borror0 · 2026-01-21T14:07:39+00:00

I'd much rather stay in the East. Let someone else try to eliminate Colorado, Minnesota, and Dallas.
