In evaluating performance, I tend to get lost in deep-dive research. I do find a lot of relevant statistical information by going under the surface for stats, and that can be informative and valuable. But there is a downside. At times I’m guilty of making things too...

Bernie: The Blues Are Winning. They Are Fun To Watch. This Is Good. Don’t Worry About The Analytics.

BLUE NOTES The Blues are all over the map, and I’m not referring to last week’s trip into Canadian territory. The recent trend is … volatile. There was the 6-2 home loss to Arizona, followed by a fine 4-2 win over visiting Pittsburgh. The itinerary in Canada started...
