Hey all,

Does an equivalent of fangraphs (probably the most advanced stat site for baseball) exist for hockey?

Hockey itself doesn't really lend well to heavy statistical analysis, but I thought maybe I would be caught by surprise.

LeBrun has a good article up about why the Wings are so quiet this summer. Extensive quotes from Holland who alludes to the Wings possibly being players next July.

Hey everyone, I just joined, but have been a fan since I was 10 when I watched my first hockey game: Wings/Sharks.

Anyway, good personal story from Ray about watching his son get drafted by the Wings.

If anyone is considering going to the draft next weekend, now's your chance to register for tickets on the Canadiens' website. Registration doesn't guarantee tickets however. Registration ends at 5pm today and notification emails are sent out tomorrow if you get tickets.

A nice article on Datsyuk from Yahoo Sports Hockey page.

Hossa has gone missing in this series so far.
