NHL Top Shelf podcast: Talking hockey analytics with Rob Vollman

Paste BN Sports

Paste BN Sports' Jimmy Hascup and Kevin Allen are joined by special guest Rob Vollman, author of the "Hockey Abstract" and pioneer in the field of hockey analytics.

The three discuss Vollman's background in hockey and statistics, the media's role in relaying and educating fans on what all the numbers mean and various examples of how analytics identifies the lesser high-profile players — including the Sidney Crosby of drawing penalties.
