The expanding of our hockey vocabulary when it comes to player analysis is often associated with words like 'Corsi' and 'Fenwick'. But it doesn't mean we have to discard the old dictionaries.
As hockey has entered its "sabermetrics phase", hockey analysis has shifted like the Iron Throne. You can't talk about a player's worth unless you use the proper vocabulary. Not even the characters from HBO's True Detective, with words like "stridency" and "apoplexy" in their screenplay pocket, would feel a literate welcome in the face of "Corsi" and "Fenwick".
The "pocket protector crowd" appear to be 'unweaving the rainbow', critics like Steve Simmons and Ken Campbell loudly decry.
