The Relationship Between Hitting and Winning
A few days ago, I gave Willis heck for only looking at the top- and bottom-five hitting teams in the NHL since 2000 and arriving at the conclusion that there was a negative relationship between hitting and winning, and suggested that a correlation of all 30 teams' values would give a more complete picture. It took longer than expected, between company on the weekend, router issues, and work, but that analysis is now up on The New SNN Sports (*sigh*) for all to see.
