My friend has his paper in the top 10 papers in MIT's sports analytics conference, and the winner gets put into the magazine. http://espn.go.com/sportsnation/poll/_/ ... r-previews If you got a few minutes, throw in a vote for my buddy's paper: An Expected Goals Model for Evaluating NHL Teams and Players By Brian Macdonald only hockey paper in the list.

I voted for him, good read too........agree with LWFS.....I think I read recently that Fox Soccer Channel ratings for EPL games are routinely higher that National NHL games.
