No one wants to be thinking about stillers football right now. We have officially become The Bears AFC.

The best thing about Stillers football is I ran 6 miles up the Yough river on Sunday and only saw 2 kayakers.

The game was on Monday night so not sure how it had an impact on who was out on a Sunday.

If they're rotating guys, I think it would have been smart to have one of them sprinkle some fancy stats into the broadcast. No need to bludgeon the fans, but a little would be good IMO.

No. It really wouldn’t.

Oh. I guess I just got lucky and the pedestrians have called it a year. When did they start playing football on Mondays?

I think that’s fine for the intermission show. I really do not think it would add anything positive to the color commentary in the moment of play.

I sure hope that Jumpin Jay and his telestrator have been put to sleep forever
That was not worth viewing at all
They should bring in Don Cherry as the color man Now that would be worth watching for sure

I just figured that’s why the floaters were not out in hoards. I have no reason to look up football scores. That’s also why I snowboard on sundays.

Same here. In-game stats of think like controlled zone exit % and the like wouldn't add much. If you wanna sprinkle it in when necessary that fine, but this seems like something that would be best used in the studio.

Most of the people I know who play and/or watch a lot of hockey don't follow the analytics much at all....or at all haha.

EDIT: however, I feel as though if they were given a good gateway to it, a lot of them would like it and get into it...find it interesting. I remember bringing up a lot of the Leafs (great) underlying numbers from last season to a pretty much predominantly all Leafs fan locker room back in April when the playoffs started and a lot of them looked at me like I had 2 heads hahaha

The analytics following is like 80% pronouns in bios and 20% degenerates that post on hockey blogs every day. The average/normal/regular fan doesn’t know or care about that poop.

I think it's a useful tool for the peeps in the business, and I don't mind when you guys share it at all it can be interesting. But yea for the most part I don't look at it haha.

My prediction to this season is the Pens get off to a slow start, not just the team overall, but the Jake-less Sid, new EK and Smith, year older Geno and Tanger...they all have slow starts and medias and opposing fans hop all over it like a fat kid on a Smartie....

I don't think they do. They know what happened last year. Especially not Sid, Jake less or not he still has Rakell.

Clearly what the average NHL fan wants is graduate-level statistics lectures during the game.

Lmfao 🤣. Although instead of Jays telestrator I wouldn't mind the advanced stats between periods.
