Bump for an interesting article on Tanev's start in Calgary with an underlying stats community member eating crow.
HB Analytics : Tanev Revenge Tour
Thought it was interesting in light of the stats conversation yesterday.
The numbers in Vancouver were true ... not made up, or spun in any way. So to say Tanev wasn't or isn't good was certainly supported. But to 100% think you can project based on what has happened has a lot of variables, the most important at the time being the age curve, and how things can only get worse.
Instead they opine that Tanev is with a partner he's more suited for, and with that both have had their numbers jump.
It was true that Tanev had bad numbers.
It was true that Hughes had better numbers without Tanev.
But it could also be true that Hughes high risk activity, was a nightmare for Tanev's playing style.
Will be interesting to watch.
