The Advanced Stats Thread Episode VI: RIP To Our Databases

[Irishguy42]

^ The suspense is killing me. I got a quote notification, but nothing to respond to! I feel like an enforcer the night before playing Geroges Laraque.

Oh whoops.

I'm on mobile and got distract before I could make a response. Guess I hit "post reply" instead of turning my phone screen off.

Yeah I find it funny that the people who defended AV until the grave last season are now all on the same page

The team hasn't been playing well, but he's not the sole reason they've been bad. But he needs to go, so whatever has to happen to trigger that

Stole this from r/hockey. Top 6 lines by xGF%. Good thing Buch was moved to the 4th line.

Yep. If Kreider wasn't shooting 0%, I imagine that line would still be together.

 

[DanielBrassard]

-2 GD. That's probably why they were broken up. Idiotic

 

[Machinehead]

Any line with lazy Kreider probably does well.

But that one was better

Alain's Tale: A Journey on Ice

Once up one a time the team had a rough start so the caring and fatherly coach preaches to stay with it, he sees 'some good things'.

Then, one day the coach wakes up grouchy and decides to ignore said good things and adjusts lines based on MOOOAAAARRR GOOOAALLLLLZZZZ. The team kept losing but they were soooo happy with the sweet fatherly coach that they offered a shiny magical paper called a 'contract extension'. The now-ecstatic grinning coach then lived happily ever after!

The
End

Missing the game tonight. Charts delayed 'til tomorrow.

Slowly climbing up the CF% and xGF% ladder, so I'm totally expecting AV to get canned soon and then have this team skyrocket once they actually start getting some shooting luck.

Return of the turtle

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Hank stole this game

 

[DanielBrassard]

Today was not even a shell, it was more like a barricade. Frustrating to watch.

 

[Bob Richards]

I'm happy to see Jimmy on the scoreboard.

Less excited because I'm inclined to believe he'll wait till December to do it again.

Honest question, considering that Chayka is actually held in high esteem by the analytics community unlike someone like Eakins, how much do the Coyotes' persistent failures hurt hockey analytics' credibility?

Zero?

He's been the GM of that team for 1 season. What did you expect him to accomplish in that timeframe?

A Cup win, of course. Silly SF.

Not much. Chayka hasn't been GM of the team that long. Let's see what happens with the Yotes in another 3 or 4 years when his fingerprints have been able to really take form on the team.

 

[silverfish]

Should compare the defense they had when he took over the team vs the defense they have now. Leaps and bounds. Don't necessarily think it's Chayka's fault that his goalies can't stop a beach ball right now.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Really thought it was longer than that.

 

[Machinehead]

It wasn't that bad IMO.

I think it was a decently played game and poorly coached game.

The only thing still bothering me other than AV is Skjei.

 

[silverfish]

Really thought it was longer than that.

Nope.

Does that change your question at all?

I think that team is very improved, on paper, since he's taken over.

 

[Machinehead]

I'm still waiting for one of these "analytics teams" to work

so people will stop asking us

if it can actually work.
