I'm.all over this Andy hire. Sid is an amazing athlete for certain, but his consistency is all related to how well he's been taken care of. From everything I've read, this guy Andy is well respected by athletes to get them to their best.

I am so stoked for this addition. With Matthews issues, this guy might be able to break through and get him back to his best.

I don't think we should be overly surprised that Auston's slip from his peak coincided with the entrenchment of a management and coaching group that didn't value any form of analysis other than the eye test, and success is a matter of how much you're willing to dig in/man up, etc, etc, etc.

Unless if the physical issue really is full on chronic and limiting, he should have a bunch of 50+ goal seasons left in him.

The “younger than his biological age” stuff makes me laugh.

Is Bob getting regular blood transfusions from his young son, like that TechBro ghoul who often repeats the same claim about himself?

He was actually 3 yrs older last year if you go by save percentage

Biological Age vs Analytic Age

He's just so much cooler than Mitch.

I’m actually surprised he’s allowed to do that now that he’s signed to a contract. Do it publicly, at least.

 

[Habsy]

I'm sure that he’s required to carry his own insurance policy for extra-hockey activities.

Uhh…wtf?

From what I recall of his time as a media personality, this dude is about as dumb of a meathead as you’ll possibly find.

Who’s our next front office hire? Anthony Stewart? Sid Seixeiro? Jeff O’Neill?

I recall him throwing a tantrum whenever that andi petrillo chick disagreed with him (she was usually right). He also hated analytics and mocked nerds most of his time on the radio. One of the dumbest broadcasters of our time.
