The Hockey Blogosphere is a wondrous place. It is filled with smart, creative and curious people who are doing what they can to further our understanding of the sport, who are using mathematical tools, play-by-play and tracking data, and firsthand reporting to look at old things in new ways.
There are also people who are there to own somebody online. This, I can tell you from experience, is way easier and more fun. You take the stats you want, and you...massage them a little bit until presto, your narrative is done, your enemies lay prostrate before you, and you do a victory lap.
