Scoring Chances: West Coast Trip
I gotta be honest - catching up after a road trip sucks! To help get the data, I'm skipping the pretty charts, but you still get lots of numbers...many of them big red minuses. Joy! Best E/S Forward vs. SJS: Sammy Pahlsson / Derek Dorsett: (+4) Worst E/S Forward vs. SJS: Colton Gillies (-6) Best...
New York Rangers Stats: Scoring Chances Update
At the All-Star Break, the New York Rangers continue to sit at number 1 in the standings (at least by points percentage), and have shown no signs of slowing down. That's a far cry from where they were way back in October during my first update, where a slow start had people questioning a lot...
Scoring Chance Wrapup: 1/23 @ NSH, 1/24 @ TBL
Stacking the Jackets' last two back to back games, even in review, is a pretty thick crap sandwich. In two games, I think the Jackets perhaps scraped together 40 minutes of respectable NHL hockey, and I'm not even completely certain about that. The numbers, as you'd expect, are not pretty. Best E/S...
Taylor Hall & Eric Belanger WOWY, A Tale Of Two Seasons
Taylor Hall and Eric Belanger have been on the ice for a total of four scoring chances thus far in 2011-12. Their paths don't often intersect, so their WOWYs should give us an idea, by proxy, of the strength of their linemates. Call it the transitive property of scoring chances. All data compiled...
Oilers' Adjusted Scoring Chances By Quality Of Competition
The numbers onslaught continues with a look at adjusted scoring chances by quality of opponent, or Corsi Rel QoC. I've grouped the Oilers by line according to the quality of competition they've faced in order to get an understanding of how each is performing against his closest peer group. All...
Oilers' Even Strength Scoring Chances By Situation
When I last checked in on situational scoring chances, the Oilers were on top of the league, and in fact, hadn't trailed by two goals at any time in the first dozen games. It's time for another data dump, this time at the midpoint. All data compiled and published by Dennis King and...
Edmonton Oilers' First Half Scoring Chances
Possession is everything, or so says Mike Babcock. Vic Ferrari demonstrated how scoring chances and puck possession come together over time: The idea is that the more games you're looking at, the more luck washes out. And you can see that over a small batch of games the player's scoring chance...
Edmonton Oilers' Zonestart Adjusted Scoring Chances
One of the recurring themes for the 2011-12 Oilers has been sheltered minutes and who is receiving and benefiting from them. Tom Renney has been most protective of Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Jordan Eberle - the two have played against third-level competition with an inordinate amount of offensive...
Midseason NY Rangers Stats: Scoring Chance Types
The midpoint in the season is always a good time to start reviewing what has happened and start looking towards the last half and the season the playoff push. We'll start that review looking at the types of chances each player has been on ice for, as we've looked at in the previous individual...
Oilers' Scoring Chances Last 25 Games
Through sixteen games, the Edmonton Oilers were 9-5-2 and cruising. We knew it wasn't sustainable, but we didn't know it would be this bad. Beginning with a 6-3 loss to Chicago on November 13th, the Oilers went 7-17-1 over their next 25 games. The raw scoring chance carnage is after the...
