- 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.

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).
