Okay, now that the hockey season is finally over
I'm so glad that traffic in Raleigh can finally return back to normal

Bussi(pause) had LV visibly shaking their heads in frustration. Carolina broke them down bad.

Is youth hockey big in Raleigh?

I imagine if it would be big anywhere in the entire South it would be Raleigh.

Vegas tried to be too cute. Too many passes. Especially that last powerplay. Get the puck to the net!!!

Man this dude background is interesting......



Interesting storyline for NHL Finals: Carolina Hurricanes GM Eric Tulsky has a PhD in Chemistry from Berkeley.

Before joining them in 2014, he was offered a job with Apple to work on battery tech (but turned it down).

Started in the analytics department and since hired neuroscientists and mechanical engineers for the NHL team.

The Athletic profile has this anecdote:

“In 2021, Tulsky was the Carolina Hurricanes assistant GM and had built a small analytics department in the organization, with a web developer, a data engineer and a neuroscientist helping him lead the team’s push into new frontiers for the sport.

But because of what he saw in the tracking data, Tulsky believed his next addition needed to be someone who was working on autonomous vehicles — perhaps “a robot submarine,” he says now — and had an advanced mechanical engineering background.

“I knew that that was the kind of problem that put people thinking about the kinds of data that we had and the kinds of problems we faced,” Tulsky explained.

It goes without saying that there aren’t many robot submarine engineers working in NHL front offices. So Tulsky began a deep search through universities’ mechanical engineering departments.

He would scour the faculty listing and professors’ research interests to see if they might align with what he was looking for, then reach out to learn more about their work. He started with the top schools in Canada, reasoning that there was a greater chance he would find someone interested in working on a hockey problem.

And that was how an NHL team came to fund the PhD research of a young engineering student named Jonathan Arsenault at McGill University in Montreal.

His thesis, the first to be backed by a professional hockey team? “Quantitative Analysis of Hockey Using Spatiotemporal Tracking Data.

Under appreciated great

I just realized HE taught an entire generation of kids of every color and background all about hockey on Sportscenter for decades
