Coming In Hot with Wallace, York & Nichols

For 21 seasons in the salary-cap era, we've heard the same debates: You need elite goaltending. You need a 40-goal scorer. You need a Norris-calibre defenceman. But what does the data actually say?Today we're taking a look at The Stanley Cup Blueprint. We dug through every Stanley Cup winner since 2005-06 to uncover the trends that separate champions from everyone else. Which stats matter most? Is goal differential the biggest predictor of success? How often do Cup winners have a 90-point player, a Selke finalist, or a Vezina-calibre goalie? And how do the Ottawa Senators compare heading into the 2026-27 season?The numbers may surprise you.Thanks to our Partners:🚨 bet365: @bet365: http://www.bet365.ca/🚨 Shoeless Joe’s: https://shoelessjoes.ca/🚨 BEI: https://bonnechereexcavating.com🚨 BEI Homes: https://www.bonnecherehomes.com🚨 Beyond the Pale Brewing Company: https://btpshop.ca/_____________________________________________________________________Watch Coming In Hot with Wallace, York & Nichols📺 Subscribe on YouTube: @Cominginhotsens🐦 Follow on Twitter:@ComingInHotSens @localpodcaster @jasonyork33 @GraemeNichols👕 Want Coming in Hot Merch?
