Sports are becoming a numbers game. Not just the NHL but all four of the major sports are getting into analytics as a tool to judge players. New York Islanders General Manager, Lou Lamoriello, shared his worry about analytics in the game.
I myself don’t claim to be some analytics or advanced stat expert, but I understand the importance of using these stats as a tool to your advantage.
One of the criticisms of Lou Lamoriello is that he shy’s away from the new ways of the game, and this was proved by his free agent moves this offseason.
