Wilderness Walk: Analytics on the Rise

The Star Tribune has announced that it has a new sports reporter to cover sports analytics and advanced stats. His name is Chris Hine and he covered the Chicago Blackhawks at the Chicago Tribune for the past three years, so his familiarity with hockey is quite developed in addition to his expertise with stats and analysis. It should be an interesting adjustment for hockey fans that have tended to favor relying solely on “the eye test” and more conventional sports writing when it comes to their hockey coverage. Anyhow, welcome to the usually anguish inducing but ocassionally triumphant world of Minnesota sports for Chris Hine.
