So when I read P-200, I'm thinking, "200 pts!!! I gotta get this guy!!!" It's kind of confusing, at least to me, to look at. I wouldn't edit the article, but I would keep it in mind for future articles. Or at the very least, look it up to be sure. - Teh Doktor Sat, 08 Sep 2012 14:12:58 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/918-frozen-pool-forensics/4881-forensics-keith-yandle#comment-22488 If OEL and Yandle remain in Phoenix together, I'd temper expectations for Yandle; similar to last season perhaps, maybe a slight decrease (40-45 points). I'd expect OEL to continue to improve and post similar production (40-45 points) while stealing some more of Yandle's PP TOI. The sky is the limit for OEL if Yandle does get traded. - maya has the knife Sat, 08 Sep 2012 09:32:18 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/918-frozen-pool-forensics/4881-forensics-keith-yandle#comment-22487 Well that came out like crap, but essentially Yandle's PP TOI dropped by 40 seconds per game this past season while OEL's increased by more than a minute. Yandle's ES TOI decreased by 50 seconds per game while OEL's increased by 5:30. Despite having nearly identical TOI per game, OEL scored more ES goals and PP goals than Yandle. This while OEL played 1:25 per game on the PK. Oh, and OEL fired 50 fewer shots on net as well. Take from this what you will, but I'm excited to see how OEL improves on his last season. - maya has the knife Sat, 08 Sep 2012 09:30:00 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/918-frozen-pool-forensics/4881-forensics-keith-yandle#comment-22486 KEITH YANDLEGPGAPPPGPPASHGSHASOGES-TOIPP-TOISH-TOITOI 2010-11 821148593230 1 19919:334:05 0:4324:21 2011-12 821132430110 0 19618:433:27 0:0922:19 OLIVER EKMAN-LARSSONGPGAPPPGPPASHGSHASOGES-TOIPP-TOISH-TOITOI 2010-11 4811011020 0 50 13:070:59 0:55 15:01 2011-1282131932261014718:362:041:2522:05 - maya has the knife Sat, 08 Sep 2012 09:26:37 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/918-frozen-pool-forensics/4881-forensics-keith-yandle#comment-22467 haha meant alliteration - Ross The Boss Palmer Fri, 07 Sep 2012 14:32:48 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/918-frozen-pool-forensics/4881-forensics-keith-yandle#comment-22466 Great to see you step up Mac! I remember when Yandle signed his contract, Ryan Whitney broke the news with a tweet and a picture as they are good friends and he was with him when Yandle signed. I know Edmonton has a plethora of guys up front, so if the Oil want him I believe a deal could be done. Although, the climate would certainly be a big change. If that were to happen, theoretically the Oil could roll with two potentially potent powerplay units. ... Alliterate :D - Ross The Boss Palmer Fri, 07 Sep 2012 14:32:10 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/918-frozen-pool-forensics/4881-forensics-keith-yandle#comment-22464 Working against him are the crappy forwards up front and the obvious trendline in the PP pts. - DuklaNation Fri, 07 Sep 2012 13:13:29 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/918-frozen-pool-forensics/4881-forensics-keith-yandle#comment-22462 I just finished writing an article for Dobber Baseball before I started writing this one. As I said guys, I will ease my way into hockey writing. You can't expect perfection on my first ever column at Dobber Hockey. - Mac Vincent Fri, 07 Sep 2012 10:35:15 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/918-frozen-pool-forensics/4881-forensics-keith-yandle#comment-22461 I have to agree with the other posters; there are some nice facts, says, and some claims with which I agree generally, but you have literally no analysis or evidence/argument to back up the points you made. - mounD Fri, 07 Sep 2012 10:30:38 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/918-frozen-pool-forensics/4881-forensics-keith-yandle#comment-22460 First of all, I'd like to thank you guys for the feedback. Secondly, when I agreed to start writing for Dobber Hockey, everyone told me I should ease into it and still focus on my baseball column and such. I need to get my feet wet on exactly how to write these columns, but I assure you that you will see improvement with each column I write. I appreciate any feedback, whether it be negative or positive from the community. I wish I'd get more feedback for my baseball articles, but that feedback usually comes from twitter because baseball doesn't draw a huge audience here. Thanks, Mac. - Mac Vincent Fri, 07 Sep 2012 09:26:23 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/918-frozen-pool-forensics/4881-forensics-keith-yandle#comment-22459 Like Two on One, I was hoping to read an explanation of why Yandle's point totals and ice time dropped last year and why you project a rebound, and how Ekman-Larsson's development would affect Yandle (the last one easier said than done). Also, when you suggested that a trade to Detroit is likely, I expected you to discuss how the trade would affect Yandle's production, rather than the fact that Filppula would be coming back, which seems irrelevant to this article. It's easy to be a critic. I was a big fan of Amato's well-reasoned articles and I have no doubt your version of this column can meet and ultimately exceed his standards. - mcarmody Fri, 07 Sep 2012 08:18:48 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/918-frozen-pool-forensics/4881-forensics-keith-yandle#comment-22458 Mac, First of all welcome aboard. I look forward to reading your version of this column. That said, a couple things: 1) You mentioned OEL at the top of your article in regards to Yandle and is production, but then it wasn't mentioned again. So how DOES OEL's rise impact Yandle this year and beyond, assuming good health and he doesn't get traded? I wish you would have gone deeper into that... I think that's a big deal. 2) What are your reasons for Yandle's bounce-back this upcoming season, to the numbers close to two years ago? I don't see much reasoning why, or why it won't happen. You nicely laid out his previous year's stat lines... Plus his SOG numbers. But I felt like the article ended abruptly and without much reasoning on why you made your prediction. I'm not challenging your projection on Yandle for this year - he certainly has the talent. I just think it's lacking some substance, besides picking just making some sort of guess. I'm not trying to come across as a douche, but rather add some constructive criticism. Perhaps I'm spoiled with all the great articles on this website.... I look forward to next week's forensics... - Two On One Fri, 07 Sep 2012 08:00:02 +0100
