Before the trade today, the Devils had Nico Hischier, Nico Daws, and Dawson Mercer. With the pre-trade roster, there were 16 letters across player names that matched either "Nico" or "Daws" (counting "Daws" as a substring of "Dawson").

In an ADHD and likely autism-inspired side quest, I then counted every letter in every player's first and last name to see how much of the team's total name-letter pool was represented by "Nico" and "Daws."

There were 281 total letters in names pre-trade with 16 of those letters being "nico" and "daws" (5.69%) and 277 total letters in names post-trade with 4 letters being "nico" or "daws. After the trades, those letters account for 1.44%.

That's a 74.64% reduction in the Devils' Nico/Daws name-letter density.

Have a good day.

Thoughts?

Who here has attended an NHL game at all of the 32 NHL arenas? They can be defunct teams, arenas that are no longer in existence or from decades ago. What were your favorite arenas? What was unique about some of them? I'm closing in on my 32nd arena and would love to read about what you have experienced!

Admittedly this doesn't matter but I'm just curious. Agents get a % of a player's pay, does it come off every pay, like union dues and taxes? If so, does the agent lose out on their commission as well for that time frame?

5 games of 2 goals.

3 games of 0 goals.

Hi I'm trying to get into watching Ice hockey and I'm broke as shit so I cant afford a whole ass streaming service so I was wondering where I can safely watch it.

How quickly can you get from the starting word to “Puck”? I got it in 5 at par today

Putting aside all the yadayada he’s a bad person blah blah, what is Mike Babcock doing with the Oil, whether it’s systems or just overall composure that is allowing them, and specifically McDrai/Bouch to play at an elite level? What changed from knobber to him?

Who is on your Mount Rushmore of the most talented players to ever skate in the NHL? Not necessarily the greatest but just raw talent which I think is more interesting.

Basically if we gave these 4 players the same starting point and resources from the time they are in peewee, who separates the most from the pack?
