I have a little bit of a reputation among the Nashville Predators community for being a cynic. To be fair, this isn’t entirely undeserved; I almost always wait for players or miraculous events to regress to the mean, and work more with raw data than emotion.
You can thank years of watching the Philadelphia Flyers for that (WE STARTED CHRIS VANDEVELDE FOR A WHOLE SEASON). Many of my articles are also criticisms of the team and organization’s handling of various things like player and asset management, deployment and drafting.
I can come off as too negative or critical sometimes, but trust me; I love this team and the players on it.
