    Default NHL Player (Makin') Babies Thread

    Just had a funny thought...
    I was looking at a fantasy hockey roster and saw Brian Dumoulin noted as expecting a baby.
    I'm thinking... so... 9 months ago, or so... Dumo was getting bus-Y.

    I wonder if back-tracking 9months into that player's schedule would reveal anything interesting.
    Do NHL players get more busy in the off-season?
    Right after playoff elimination?
    Christmas break?
    Night of a First Star Selection... Big Win?
    Home-game-stretch?
    Maybe it doesn't matter... wife says "I'm ready for baby-making, get your ass home after morning skate and let's knock this OUT."


    Or...
    All-Star-Break, Mr.Dumoulin!?!
    Nov4 - 9mo = Feb4. (ASG was Jan 25-27)

    LOL.
    I think it would make for an interesting study!


    Case Study:
    July 21, 2018: Alex Pietrangelo's wife gives birth to triplets.
    Exercise: Backtrack the date of conception.
    Bonus Points: Discuss the merit of Pietrangelo's game declining based on birth of triplets.

    This feels a bit like a mid August thread. And a little creepy.

    Extend it to basketball. Fred Van Fleet had a kid during the playoffs in April/May. Back track 9 months, July 2018...offseason.

    I know you don't plan on kids sometimes, but I thought some might target having a kid in the offseason instead mid-season. But September/October is busy for them I guess.

    I'll play:

    Option 1.. Halloween and someone was dressed up as a naughty _____ and things got a little out of control.

    Option 2.. November 4, 2017 - two goal game

    Bonus...

    I wouldn't say his game or production decline on a per game basis... but he did miss more games.... so maybe he wasn't getting as much sleep as he should have and ended up with more injuries that usual.
