But yes, there are limits to how much hockey a person can watch. So where does that leave us when it comes to hockey commentary?
A) If you want to have any credibility as a league-wide hockey analyst, you need to spend 15 hours a day watching recorded hockey games.
B) There should be not be any such thing as league-wide analysts, since A is impractical. We should only have individual team reporters reporting on hockey. Or better yet - enthusiastic and highly partisan fans!

Why on earth would you think this?
Does Myrtle have more eyeballs than most people? More TV's?
I just don't understand why this would have anything to do with...anything.
Especially advanced stats, because unless he is the guy collecting the data and tracking it all, he doesn't need to watch a single second of hockey to come to his conclusions...its all laid out in this stuff called PDO/Corsi...whatever.....right?
