Friedman mentioned rumours during one of the intermissions last night in the Canucks vs Calgary game about New Jersey showing interest in acquiring Garland. https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/video/g...draw-interest/

Not sure why NJ would be looking to trade for Garland right now, they're even lower standing then we are. At best, it would be after the season is over.
But if all the rumors are true, or at least give the indication that the players are available, then maybe we're looking to tank for the remainder of the season.

Making a public statement in this case doesn't affect them. Walking out on the team does.
But you missed one of the most important things they said.
The players feel empathy now and learned from the experience why Subban reacted the way he did.
In this case, if you read between the lines, no it was not overblown. If things didn't happen the way it did, Jacob would continue to go around making the strong man gesture to other people of color and not think anything of it.

Canucks fall asleep, let 2 goals in, crowd starts going insane, then boom, tie game on a fluttering shot from the blue line that bounced off a body | |

So you just have to say something witty against Benning and you get a job here at Canucks?

I hope she works out, I been listening to some of her podcast and stuff… she comes across as very smart but also extremely / annoyingly “know it all” and borderline cocky, which shouldn’t surprise me given other conversations I’ve had these days with similarly aged people.
She also trashed the entire Canucks d-corps outside of Hughes so I’m sure they’re happy to know she’s here hahaha

Analytics to me is the difference between classroom and real life. Someone who can write an A+ report in Engineering class at UBC might know dick all when it comes to working in the real life with consultants, architects, client, etc.

I don't know about NHL, but analytics started making a huge splash in the NFL over the last 5-7 years, led by Baltimore, KC, New England and SF. It's become more refined over the years and is pretty fascinating to look into. Looking at those teams over the last 5-7 years, I think you can say it's become a pretty important part of the game.
TV announcers and twitter experts think that "analytics = going for it on 4th down" but it's not just that.
If Rutherford saw success with it in Pittsburgh and wants to bring it to Vancouver, I am pretty excited about that.
People will certainly try to trash this person, for reasons.

I think analytics is hyper important for teams especially in evaluating players… would have saved us from a host of bad signings

Athletes like Evander Kane and Antonio Brown would be off the analytic charts.
