From Static Stats to Living Dashboards

A metric means little until you can see the relationship it has with other data. That’s why connecting TBI to a dashboard is a necessary way to test out this novelty metric.

Using Power BI or Tableau, you can hook your daily NHL data feed into an auto-refreshing dashboard that tracks balance across the season. Every morning, TBI updates automatically — and suddenly, analytics become a real-time story.

Think of it this way: spreadsheets describe what was. Dashboards show what is becoming. Here's an example of TBI in action with a filter on the Pacific division and showing the distance between LA and San Jose.

The goal isn’t just to visualize data — it’s to create a living report that helps you feel the season’s rhythm.
