• Gabriel Desjardins of Behind The Net Hockey thinks that Madison Square Garden needs to improve its shot data recording.
• Alan Ryder of Hockey Analytics released his Player Contribution annual that reviews the 2009-10 NHL season this past week.
• David Staples of The Cult of Hockey looks at why the Oilers line of Andrew Cogliano, Gilbert Brule and Magnus Paajarvi-Svensson is failing.
• Mike Chen of From The Rink is fine with coincidental diving penalties.
• Chris Boersma of Hockey Numbers believes that the Ilya Kovalchuk signing by the Devils is already a mess less than a month into the season.
