As for being a "hack", that's your opinion I guess. I have dedicated years of my life to studying the game in great detail, both in terms of statistical analysis and scouting. I have hand counted stats and created my own databases to aid my writing. I have contemporaries and former peers contributing in front offices and I have been interviewed by analytical departments for input into advanced stats. I'm a published writer, and a former chief editor of a network of sites that are now some of the largest independent sports sites in Canada.
I'm certainly not perfect and not always right, but I put a lot of work and effort into my work and I stand by it.

Yes I know who you are. And yes he offered those AS A REASON to fire GG...because of tonights results. And thanks for allowing me my opiniojn, really appreciate that.
And I dont buy your fancy stats and equivocating it to situations on ice when everything is fluid as it is most times.
Sorry.
Yes you are a superstar writer/blog/whatever, and you have earned everything you have gotten, but I have VERY rarely agreed with much of anything you have written. again, sorry. That's what I mean by hack...if thats to harsh I apologize, but its what i was called a hundred years ago when I was a journalist.
You are allowed to be as proud of your stuff as you like, and you should.
But as Shania Twain so eloquently stated..."that don't impress
me much"
