Two new features for the standings page - one temporary, one permanent.
First, TODAY ONLY, a handy visual cue to identify which teams are 4+ points out of the playoffs as of US Thanksgiving. It'll be gone once the clock ticks over to Friday!

The second (and permanent) feature is a "timeline" of the standings for each conference over the course of the season - both the order of the standings, and the scale of the point gap.
Available for the overall conference standings, and for the wildcard standings.

I haven’t loved the FSD incorporation of Mike Kelly this year and I think I figured out my source of frustration - it feels too deferential to him and the “numbers”. Would like to see a more well-rounded discussion between all with him interjecting data where appropriate

Lucas Raymond Is An Elite Winger
After the Red Wings’ absolutely awful 2019-2020 season, they were rewarded by dropping three spots in the draft lottery to the 4th overall pick.

A Little Help Here, Steve?
After last season’s disappointing finish, Dylan Larkin lamented in his year-end press conference the lack of trade deadline moves.

Heading into Thanksgiving just want to say I’m thankful for everyone who engages here and with my Substack. I had lost the passion for writing and often felt like I had to chase “perfect, airtight logic” for every article. I think I’ve found a sweet spot now and it’s re-energized me to write more

yeah lucas raymond remains elite
At 23 years old, Lucas Raymond is currently producing more expected goals above replacement/60 (xGAR/60) and scoring more than both Mitch Marner and Nikita Kucherov did at the same age.
The Red Wings have a superstar and he’s locked up on a ridiculously team-friendly deal
