Tracking Spreadsheet



SMJHL S50 Game 96 - COL @ KEL

SMJHL Game 96 Advanced Taterlytics Report:
Possessor: Jake Peralta @GoldenKnight
Team: Colorado Raptors
Victim: Kalevolaripaavo Kaspertommevisnapuu @AlwaysGettingHaxed
Team: Kelowna Knights
Time: 16:04 of 1st period
Total possession time:  16:04
Hot po-take-to:
Jake Peralta had to make the most of the little ice time he gets night in and night out. He certainly did that this game as throughout the first period he looked like a man on a mission and was flying around the ice, disregarding the Potato’s will to stay attached. Late in the first during his third shift in the period, he looked like he was shot out of a cannon off the bench. He flew into the offensive zone to dig the puck out of the corner and in doing so, collided with Kalevolaripaavo Kaspertommevisnapuu.

SMJHL Game 96 Advanced Taterlytics Report:
Possessor: Kalevolaripaavo Kaspertommevisnapuu @AlwaysGettingHaxed
Team: Kelowna Knights
Victim: Georgy Gorbachenko @The BreakBot
Team: Colorado Raptors
Time: 16:11 of 1st period
Total possession time:  0:07
Hot po-take-to:
Now, we still don’t know a ton about the Potato and why it works the way that it does. It clearly has a lot to do with the player’s affinity for checking, but why it picks the victims how it does we are still unsure of. I’m fairly certain that the Potato absolutely LOATHES long named players. I’ll have to do some more research into this, but the Potato was with Kalevolaripaavo Kaspertommevisnapuu, one of the longest names in the SMJHL, for all of 7 seconds. Your read that right, s-e-v-e-n. 35 characters is too much for the Potato to deal with.

SMJHL Game 96 Advanced Taterlytics Report:
Possessor: Georgy Gorbachenko @The BreakBot
Team: Colorado Raptors
Victim: Andrey Barbashev II @RaiN
Team: Kelowna Knights
Time: 16:19 of 1st period
Total possession time:  0:08
Hot po-take-to:
Georgy Gorbachenko received the Potato due to being hit by Kaspertommevisnapuu after a brief stint. This name sort of sticks with the theme of being a long name and again, the Potato shows that it wants nothing to do with it. 18 characters and the Potato says no thank you to Georgy. After only eight seconds this time, the Potato pulled the rip cord on Gobachenko and hopped on over to Andrey Barbashev II. So while the Potato stayed with one player for over 20 periods of action early in the season, it’s making up for some lost time and it’s certainly doing it very quickly!

Possessor: Andrey Barbashev II @RaiN
Team: Kelowna Knights
Victim: N/A
Team: Colorado Raptors
Time: N/A
Total possession time:  43:41
Hot po-take-to:
Andrey Barbashev II is actually one character longer than Georgy Gorbachnko, so one has to wonder why the Potato decided Barbashev II was okay to inhabit for the rest of the game? Maybe the length of the name was a red herring and instead it recognizes other things about the player. After taking a deeper dive into these three players’ backgrounds, Barbashev II is from Austria, Gobachenko is from Russia, and Kaspertommevisnapuu is from Estonia. What connects Russia and Estonia is that Estonia was formerly part of the Soviet Union. The Potato hates Soviets confirmed.



SMJHL S50 Game 101 - KEL @ CAR

SMJHL Game 101 Advanced Taterlytics Report:
Possessor: Andrey Barbashev II @RaiN
Team: Kelowna Knights
Victim: Kaspars Claude @Bruins10
Team: Carolina Kraken
Time: 15:24 of 1st period
Total possession time:  15:24
Hot po-take-to:
At 15:24 of the first period, Barbashev II delivered a crushing blow on superstar defenseman for the Kraken, Kaspars Claude. I’ve continued tracking player’s nationalities and Claude’s birthplace was Latvia. Now Lativa back in 1940 was a Soviet puppet state. In order for my theory that the Potato hates any ex-Soviet countries’ players, Claude should get rid of the Potato in very short order. Let’s see if it holds up.

SMJHL Game 101 Advanced Taterlytics Report:
Possessor: Kaspars Claude @Bruins10
Team: Carolina Kraken
Victim: Prince Devitt @CFJ
Team: Kelowna Knights
Time: 13:21 of 2nd period
Total possession time:  17:57
Hot po-take-to:
Back to the drawing board. Being a detective is truly exhausting work. And perhaps a fruitless endeavor as there may not be any rhyme or reason to why the Potato stays with certain people longer than others. Kaspars Claude held the Potato for almost a full period before hitting Prince Devitt of Kelowna. That’s way too much possession time for an ex-Soviet countries’ player to have my theory hold any water. Thanks, Kaspars and Potato.

SMJHL Game 101 Advanced Taterlytics Report:
Possessor: Prince Devitt @CFJ
Team: Kelowna Knights
Victim: N/A
Team: Carolina Kraken
Time: N/A
Total possession time:  26:39
Hot po-take-to:
After having quite the two games, the Potato must have been exhausted as it chilled out and spent the remaining period and half attached to the Irish Prince Devitt. Now we all know the Irish love Potatoes so this may be a match in heaven and we may see Prince hang onto the Potato for a while. Let’s just hope he doesn’t eat it, if it can even be eaten that is…
