As this introduction is being written, the season is nearing its conclusion. How the time has flown by, it seems like it started only a few weeks ago.
Last year my season-ending project was to do one article for each team in the league. That was both a lot of fun and a lot of work. It’s hard to come up with 32 different ideas so that there is something special for each team’s article.
This year my season-ending project is more in keeping with my available free time. As I have less free time than I did last year, I have fewer ambitions.
First up will be the season-ending data gathering and data processing that produce the main statistics for Stapled to the Bench (STTB): Productivity Rating and Value Rating.
After that will come several articles. Alphabetically, there will be articles on:
- All-Star teams.
- Awards (Regular Season).
- Best Season.
- Draft Class update.
- Goalie of the Year.
- Hall of Fame update.
- Most Valuable Player.
- Rookie of the Year.
A few more articles may pop into my mind as the work is being done.
An article related to the Ottawa Senator’s quest for a Right-Shot-Defenseman is in its planning stages.
STTB wishes you an enjoyable playoff run (unless you are in Toronto, in which case we wish you your normal playoff run) and a relaxing summer. Whatever your summer sport is, enjoy it as much as possible.
