Sheng’s Daily: An Analytical Argument for Brent Burns’s 2nd Half
We’ve heard plenty from the San Jose Sharks about their objections to the city of San Jose and Google’s re-development plans — in a San Jose Hockey Now exclusive, we get extensive insight from the city’s point of view, straight from the source. We talk to Nanci Klein, Director of Economic Development for the city of San Jose:

Thanks to reader Patrick Bacon, who brought this analytical argument for Brent Burns’s second half to my attention — though it should be noted, in practice, that Burns’s shot volume didn’t really drop, but his shot quality did improve.
I thought Brent Burns was significantly better once Bob Boughner took over and limited his shooting volume. Now we've got the numbers (and a sweet viz, thanks to @JFreshHockey) to hold that up to scrutiny.
The verdict? It holds. Burns' offensive and defensive impact improved. https://t.co/8tDstnpUcE pic.twitter.com/NRitUGcaGj
