Wanna learn about officiating in the NHL? We've built a valuable database for doing just that.

2025-26 NHL Minor Penalty Database Analysis An analysis of the penalties that were called in the opening two-thirds of the season.

This article series has taken over my life lmao.

Coming up soon from Habs Eyes On The Prize and Game Over Network, the whole NHL's minor penalties tracked, organized by game situation, pro-rated, and so much more.

Here's a fun preview; what kinds of calls disappear in the third period?

Okay, Mitch Marner. 1 vs 3 in OT and you got it done. We see you.

"The NHL appears to apply its officiating as if we were playing Mario Kart instead of professional hockey."

Habs Penalty Troubles: Atlantic Context Are the Habs getting jobbed by the officials? Part two of an in-depth investigation.

My latest for Game Over Network and Habs Eyes On The Prize

Montreal Canadiens Penalty Troubles: Preliminary Findings I’ve gone through each Montreal Canadiens game individually and logged each minor infraction in context, it’s time to figure out why the refs seem so off.

Vaccine day today, and frankly it’s absurd that in Quebec you need to qualify for the covid vax. Luckily my partner works adjacent to health care, and I have asthma, so we both qualified, but neither kid does.

Choosing to have large swaths of your population live with lesser immunity is not how to run a vaccination program. Thankfully they’re not charging for the vax here like they are in Alberta, but this is still ass backwards.

Vaccines work on herd immunity, fewer possibilities of infection means fewer opportunities for mutation. Vaccines are not a large health expenditure. In fact they save money. Proceeding this way is a choice by politicians, not doctors. A choice that puts all of us at higher risk.

Get vaccinated.

I really don’t like talking about myself, but part of trying to get this business thing working is selling myself as an idea, unfortunately.

To wit, I’ve been going through some data after reading some of the Teen Vogue discourse. Stay with me here...

Much of the credit for Teen Vogue’s voice and growth is owed to Elaine Welteroth, who pushed more politics into their coverage, and saw unique visitors jump from 2.7M in 2016 to 9.2M in 2017.

Those numbers stood out to me, so I went to check the numbers I recorded for Habs Eyes on the Prize back when I was managing editor from Dec. 2012 to Jun. 2015.

The year before I took over the website had 353K unique visitors. The last 12 months I was manager, we had 2.9M unique visitors.

That means in 2014 and 2015, a little Montreal Canadiens fan site was generating more unique visitors per year than TEEN VOGUE.

We had no budget, very little support from SBN who only cared about American sites, I was making US$600/month.

Our team accomplished this without using rumours, without using clickbait, we didn’t have any marketing whatoever, and no one on the team was an established draw when I started.

Our contributors went on to work in media, for NHL teams, and one even has his name on the Stanley Cup.

When I took over, EOTP accounted for 2.15% of SB Nation’s total traffic among their NHL network. The network itself grew by 63% over that time.

When I left in June 2015, we had grown by 1119%, and accounted for 12.8% of all traffic through SBN’s NHL network.

I should say, SBN NHL’s growth was 63% not including Eyes on the Prize. Including us, the growth was 83%.

If I hadn’t obsessively recorded all the data, I don’t think I would believe any of that. It’s completely absurd! But we did that.

Point being, Game Over Network is looking for investors to build a new space for sports fans to build community. The only impediment we face is capital.
