They put up lots of content regardless. Their draft coverage is way beyond anything done here.
The Fan is bringing in that goalie guy Woodley - this is excellent analysis. The kind of content I want to see - they breakdown the game very technically. Woodley was talking about goalies and defensive systems about looking around a screen short side or far side.
The analysis we get now is very superficial and mostly it's just basic interviews with little to no insight.
There is a comfort zone I think with media here - you don't see anything past the supericial legacy media articles of the past. Why not get a coach to add perspective on things with a technical focus on d zone coverage, breakouts etc. There must be some coaches who have this ability and want to increase their cache as knowledgable tacticians. Even former players.
The Flames coverage is stuck in the 80s. I think there is a more sophisticated fan, who sees this deep dive in other sports and want to see it applied to hockey - enough folksy stories. Get into the the technical aspects of the game and explain the how and why.
There are plenty of websites that state here were the advanced stats from the last game but zero analysis of how that happened, describing the details that coaches teach players in order to get those result. That would be interesting to read and learn about. Give us college level instead of grade 4.
Describe the offensive sets, the types of sequences the players are doing on PP, describe the coaching concepts of the PK. What are the hallmarks of a Geoff Ward coached team compared to a Vigneault team, what types of patterns or routes do these coaches want out of their centres... all that kind of stuff.
