[Valiquette] The missing layer isn’t another xG bucket…it’s video coaching…Models tell us where chances come from. Video and on-ice player development teaches players how to finish them.

1. Vally for GM

2. I don’t have the technical expertise of SV, but I was in disbelief when Trocheck missed that penalty shot with the way the goalie played him.

3. Go back and watch the Devils v Rangers first round again.

   You’re gonna see the exact same behaviour with shooting and playmaking that we see this season. Hell, I’d say go back to the Tampa ECF after they adjusted and see the same style of play.

   This has been a problem for 3 or 4 years now.

4. Do they not have a video coach? I would expect an NHL team would have one. We had a dedicated one in college.

5. Ah, on-ice player development. Do we do that?

6. Sullivan was a Crosby/Malkin merchant

7. Anyone notice a dip in performance ever since Ramsay left? I get there’s 100 other factors here and pointing at just one may be true, but it’s most likely a lot of reasons why the Rangers are not good, but I do feel when Jim Ramsey was here, they were better athletically.

8. almost like there are issues top to bottom in the organization

9. I don’t know how it happened, I started listening to Real Kyper and Bourne and it’s fantastic. When Valley comes on, it’s must listen. The man is a straight up analytics nerd.

10. Vally’s kids need to grow up already so we can hire this guy in some capacity

11. People need to understand that being a great analyst which Vally is doesn’t mean he’d be a great coach or GM lol
