Pinder often grossly oversimplifies them.



He just blurts them out with smarmy convenience to make his opinion look like a concrete undeniable fact, or he uses them invalidate other’s viewpoints.



I used to be a big fan of his work, but I’ve noticed he either cherry picks others analysis or fence sits, using other people’s opinion without formulating anything himself.



Yesterday he compared Kylington and his trade value to Kulak without ever stating his own opinion on the player & hung his “analysis” on what he heard a few scouts from other organizations think of Kylington.



It’s frustrating because if he was able to deflate his cocky “buddy bro” style, dig in on more of his hockey knowledge, and reset how he communicates analytics, he would be exponentially better as an analyst & broadcaster.


You get paid by Kelly Kirch for your insight right? This is some next next level analysis that you’ve been offering here. It’s impressively in-depth, but at the same time, you’re a radio personality’s nightmare.
