Nhl Morning Skate – May 13, 2021 Three NHL MORNING SKATE – MAY 13, 2021 THREE HARD LAPS * J.T. Compher scored the first hat trick of his NHL career and Philipp Grubauer turned aside all 18 shots he faced as the Avalanche, who improved to 15-0-1 in their last 16 games at Ball Arena, clinched home-ice advantage for the First Round where they will face either the Wild or Blues. If Colorado defeats Los Angeles in any fashion tonight, it will claim the Presidents’ Trophy and Honda West Division crown while simultaneously finalizing the 2021 Stanley Cup Playoffs bracket. * Marc-Andre Fleury (36 GP) and Robin Lehner (19 GP) combined to win the William M. Jennings Trophy as the Golden Knights allowed a League-low 124 goals against this season, four fewer than the Islanders (128). * Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl had multiple points again as the Oilers defeated the Canadiens in their penultimate game of the regular season. Edmonton contests its finale versus Vancouver on Saturday before facing Winnipeg in the First Round. PRESIDENTS' TROPHY WINNER, PLAYOFF BRACKET TO BE DECIDED TONIGHT The Avalanche (38-13-4, 80 points) will clinch their third Presidents’ Trophy and the No. 1 seed in their division for the 12th time in franchise history if they defeat the Kings in any fashion tonight at Ball Arena. A Colorado win would also finalize the 2021 Stanley Cup Playoffs bracket, confirming First Round showdowns between the Avalanche and Blues as well as the Golden Knights and Wild. VEGAS TANDEM OF FLEURY, LEHNER WIN WILLIAM M. JENNINGS TROPHY Marc-Andre Fleury, who turned aside all 19 shots he faced on Wednesday, and teammate Robin Lehner combined to win the William M. Jennings Trophy as the goaltenders who played for the team allowing the fewest goals this season. * Fleury, who earned his 67th career shutout to surpass Patrick Roy (66) and tie Roy Worters for 14th place on the NHL's all-time list, became the first goaltender in League history to claim his first individual NHL Award in his 17th season or later. * Lehner, who won the award with the Islanders in 2018-19, became the seventh goaltender to claim the honor with multiple clubs (also Ed Belfour, Manny Fernandez, Jaroslav Halak, Dominik Hasek, Roy & Roman Turek). DUO HAS MULTIPLE POINTS AGAIN AS OILERS WIN FINAL ROAD GAME OF 2020-21 Connor McDavid (0-2—2) and Leon Draisaitl (1-1—2) each had multi-point games as the Oilers extended their road winning streak to seven contests, which will stand as the longest in the NHL this season. McDavid (33-71—104 in 55 GP), who eclipsed the 70-assist mark, and Draisaitl (31-52—83 in 55 GP) have recorded multiple points in each of Edmonton’s last seven games dating to May 1 (McDavid: 5-15—20; Draisaitl: 7-9—16). QUICK CLICKS * Panthers playoff threat to Lightning, Brian Boucher tells '@TheRink' podcast * Seattle Kraken acquire first player, agree with Luke Henman on three-year contract * Sidney Crosby cherishes latest chance at Stanley Cup run with Penguins * Sabres will search for coach, consider Don Granato * David Quinn fired as coach of Rangers .

  • Versatile Fox Sports Broadcaster Kenny Albert Continues to Pair with Biggest Names in Sports
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Erik Arneson, FOX Sports Wednesday, Sept. 21, 2016 [email protected] VERSATILE FOX SPORTS BROADCASTER KENNY ALBERT CONTINUES TO PAIR WITH BIGGEST NAMES IN SPORTS Boothmates like Namath, Ewing, Palmer, Leonard ‘Enhance Broadcasts … Make My Job a Lot More Fun’ Teams with Former Cowboy and Longtime Broadcast Partner Daryl ‘Moose’ Johnston and Sideline Reporter Laura Okmin for FOX NFL in 2016 With an ever-growing roster of nearly 250 teammates (complete list below) that includes iconic names like Joe Namath, Patrick Ewing, Jim Palmer, Jeremy Roenick and “Sugar Ray” Leonard, versatile FOX Sports play-by-play announcer Kenny Albert -- the only announcer currently doing play-by-play for all four major U.S. sports (NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL) -- certainly knows the importance of preparation and chemistry. “The most important aspects of my job are definitely research and preparation,” said Albert, a second-generation broadcaster whose long-running career behind the sports microphone started in high school, and as an undergraduate at New York University in the late 1980s, he called NYU basketball games. “When the NFL season begins, it's similar to what coaches go through. If I'm not sleeping, eating or spending time with my family, I'm preparing for that Sunday's game. “And when I first work with a particular analyst, researching their career is definitely a big part of it,” Albert added. “With (Daryl Johnston) ‘Moose,’ for example, there are various anecdotes from his years with the Dallas Cowboys that pertain to our games. When I work local Knicks telecasts with Walt ‘Clyde’ Frazier on MSG, a percentage of our viewers were avid fans of Clyde during the Knicks’ championship runs in 1970 and 1973, so we weave some of those stories into the broadcasts.” As the 2016 NFL season gets underway, Albert once again teams with longtime broadcast partner Johnston, with whom he has paired for 10 seasons, sideline reporter Laura Okmin and producer Barry Landis.

  • Dobber's 2010-11 Fantasy Guide
    DOBBER’S 2010-11 FANTASY GUIDE DOBBERHOCKEY.COM – HOME OF THE TOP 300 FANTASY PLAYERS I think we’re at the point in the fantasy hockey universe where DobberHockey.com is either known in a fantasy league, or the GM’s are sleeping. Besides my column in The Hockey News’ Ultimate Pool Guide, and my contributions to this year’s Score Forecaster (fifth year doing each), I put an ad in McKeen’s. That covers the big three hockey pool magazines and you should have at least one of them as part of your draft prep. The other thing you need, of course, is this Guide right here. It is not only updated throughout the summer, but I also make sure that the features/tidbits found in here are unique. I know what’s in the print mags and I have always tried to set this Guide apart from them. Once again, this is an automatic download – just pick it up in your downloads section. Look for one or two updates in August, then one or two updates between September 1st and 14th. After that, when training camp is in full swing, I will be updating every two or three days right into October. Make sure you download the latest prior to heading into your draft (and don’t ask me on one day if I’ll be updating the next day – I get so many of those that I am unable to answer them all, just download as late as you can). Any updates beyond this original release will be in bold blue.

  • Phys-Ed Pre-Visit Activity
    PHYS-ED PRE-VISIT ACTIVITY Activity 1: Rebuild Many NHL teams are finding that the older arenas no longer satisfy the needs of a competitive, contemporary professional organization. As a result, the traditional hockey arenas are being gradually replaced by larger, revenue-generating, state-of-the-art sports complexes. 1. Determine a host city for a new Hockey Franchise. Using a city street map, find a suitable location, keeping in mind central areas. Design a unique, new arena for a new hockey franchise. In your design, consider: ice size access to dressing rooms audience size & distribution press boxes luxury boxes advertising parking and public washrooms public relations ice maintenance services for players and fans handicapped patrons non-hockey functions atmosphere transportation 2. Through independent research, examine the changes you have noticed from older rinks to new rinks. How have they adapted over the years and how do you anticipate further changes? _________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ HOCKEY HALL OF FAME SENIOR EDUCATION PROGRAM 1 PHYS-ED HALL-VISIT ACTIVITIES Hint: To help you find the answers, use the guide map found at the back. 1.

  • Goal Prevention 2004 a Review of Goaltending and Team Defense Including a Study of the Quality of ’
    Goal Prevention 2004 a review of goaltending and team defense including a study of the quality of a hockey ’shots allowed Copyright Alan Ryder 2004 Goal Prevention 2004 Page 2 Introduction I recently completed an assessment of “”in the NHL for the 2002-03 “”season (http://www.HockeyAnalytics.com/Research.htm). That study revealed that the quality of shots allowed varied significantly from team to team and was not well correlated with the number of shots allowed on goal. The consequence of that study was an improved ability to assess the goal prevention performance of teams and their goaltenders. This paper applies the same methods to the analysis of the 2003-04 “”season, focusing more on the results than the method. Shot Quality In summary, the approach used to assess the quality of shots allowed by a team is: 1. Collect, from NHL game event logs, the relevant data on each shot. 2. Analyze the goal probabilities for each shooting circumstance. In my analysis I separated certain “”from “”shots and studied the probability of a goal given the shot type, the ’distance and the on-ice situation (power play vs other). 3. Build a model of goal probabilities that relies on the measured circumstance. 4. Apply the model to the shot data for the defensive team in question for the season. For each shot, determine its goal probability. 5. Determine Expected Goals: EG = the sum of the goal probabilities for each shot. 6. Neutralize the variation in the number of shots on goal by calculating Normalized Expected Goals (NEG) = EG x League Average Shots / Shots 7.
