Wednesday saw what seemed like the entire Nashville Predators blogosphere (including myself) arguing with a man on Twitter over Roman Josi. I personally have never seen such an overwhelming outpour of rage by Predators twitter defending a player. Even the “Shea Weber is average” drama the last few days only brought up a dull roar from the electronically savvy Nashville Predators fans… more on that later.
But it was a sign that the two popular methods of evaluating players; analytics, or the old “eye test” are coming to a boil in Predsland. Who is right? As with everything in life, the correct way to do things probably falls somewhere in the middle.
