  Even though I missed posting last week’s edition of the Nerdy 30, I was able to tweet out how the teams would have ranked. Feel free to take a look at them for historical reference. Until then, almost every team has played 20 games this NHL season. That means that we have passed another […]

Week 4 of the Nerdy 30: Blashill’s Blemishes and Tylie Benguin Reigns Supreme

Finally, November is upon us and the advanced numbers are getting clearer as we progress further upon the season.

Week 25 of the Nerdy 30: April’s Showers

Boston vs Ottawa and Los Angeles vs Calgary. That’s all that it has come down to for the rest of the 2015 NHL regular season. If you want to add some March Madness comparisons as it is coming to an end, you can argue that these are the equivalent of play-in games to the Stanley […]

Week 24 of the Nerdy 30: Shark Bitten and Cat Scratched

Somehow, a goaltender that is making people throw hamburgers is in my nightmares right now. Sports shouldn’t be this miserable, but it is sometimes. Now, I hope that my Capitals don’t fall pray to this dude that is seriously way too lucky to keep this up and to a Boston team that is being snake-bitten […]
