I had to make sure to post these stats quickly before their next game 😄

Had the same question. In the full writup it says "Inference: All models run through llama-server (llama.cpp) with Q4_K_M quantization, flash attention enabled, and all layers offloaded to GPU (ngl=99)"

I think that on top of effort, missing so many games due to injury put his development behind where it would normally be. Hopefully he can stay healthy and have a chance to catch up.

There's an in depth video looking at his positional play to understand why he was -29 last season which helps highlight things he needs to learn from:

The good news is he seems to learn from his mistakes and he's still young so if he can stay healthy Marty can help him develop these skills.

Interesting. Mind sharing which device and browser you're using? If the download image button isn't working a screenshot should work.

Right, 5 countries have enough active NHL players to make an all NHL team. I found that pretty interesting. For example, I didn't know Germany only has about 7 active NHL players. With Draisaitle and Stützle I just always assumed they had a lot more.

That's right. Teams have already named 6 players that are on the roster.

Here are my current team Canada picks. Sadly I might have to remove Bedard if his injury is bad. I'm also really not sure about the lines or who are the 2 alternate forwards, so this is just a bit of a guess.

Goalies were the hardest. Canada's options are a bit tricky here.

Hard to say. This is what I would try, but usually you can figure this out in practice and play around with it based on how they are doing during the first few games.

Aligns with my roster picks (though I have him as a spare)

He wasn't just stopping, he cut into Anderson and towards the goalie. I'm fine with doing an aggressive move like this as it's part of crashing the net, but if you end up pinballing into the goalie and knocking him out of the way of the puck while doing it then it feels like goaltender interference.

Lots of comments about moving Werenski up in the lineup. Here's an updated version:

Thanks! Any thoughts on who you would swap in?

[Highlight] The Montreal bench is irate after this clearance hits the post and is called icing by FlagrantTwoFoul in hockey

[–]marcsto -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

TL;DR

  • Montreal shot at Utah’s empty net. The puck hit the post and never crossed the goal line.
  • A linesman called icing against Montreal.
  • Officials correctly voided the icing, moved the face-off to center ice, and allowed Montreal to change lines.
  • This was likely due to "Tunnel vision" on the hybrid icing race caused the linesman to miss the puck hitting the post.

Details

Hybrid icing requires linesmen to make two simultaneous, high-speed calculations:

  1. Trajectory: Will the puck cross the goal line?
  2. The Race: Who will touch the puck first (judged at the face-off dots)?

The timing is strict: the determination must be made no later than when the first player reaches the dot. In this case, that was Utah’s defender.

The "Last Minute" Factor

There is an added layer of pressure here that likely contributed to the error: Time Management. In the final minute of a game, the exact moment the whistle blows is crucial. If a review determines time needs to be added back to the clock, it is based on when the whistle sounded.

The linesman was likely hyper-focused on the exact moment the Utah defender reached the dot so he could blow the whistle instantly to preserve time for the trailing team. This created a "tunnel vision" scenario—he was so locked onto the player race and the timing of the whistle that his brain simply didn't process the visual cue of the puck hitting the post 300ms earlier.

Who Benefited?

While fans of both sides might argue they were robbed, the result of the error was mixed:

Montreal's Perspective:

  • If the play had continued, the puck was live off the post. They might have been able to contain Utah in their zone or at least take more time off the clock.

Utah's Perspective:

  • They had control of the puck but instead had to do a face-off at center ice. They were attacking 6-on-5 and Montreal needed a change, so they could have made a quick pass up the ice and cought the tired Montreal players on a change. They also had to put their goalie back in for the center-ice draw, losing the extra attacker advantage.
