The audio segment published here takes you directly to the Parent Segment from this episode.
This week Hutch, Woody and Daren answer a recent question seen on Facebook asking what app people use to track shots on goal – and out answer is not what you might expect.
Once again this week Hutch goes a little off the beaten path and doesn’t exactly answer the question posed. In fact after mroe than a decade as a goale parent – and admittedly having tracked shots on goal before – he has come to the conclusion that it’s not really worth doing. He does point out one app that will at least provide some context to the numbers for those who feel they must track. Stop it Goaltending’s Gameday app provides a taste of what pros have access to giving expected goals and other data.Â
The guys do get into a wide ranging discussion about what’s wrong with save percentage and how misleading it can be and the perils as a parent of getting too focused on it – not to mention how it is so poorly misused in the hockey world including the media.Â
