Maybe they took a page from the Kings’ regular season excuse guide and they were just #SavingItForThePlayoffsAfter an awful regular season by analytics standards, the Capitals are outplaying their opposition in the playoffs.

Those Kings teams were some of the best regular season analytics teams ever.Maybe they took a page from the Kings’ regular season excuse guide and they were just #SavingItForThePlayoffs
Fair enough, I’ve just always hated that reasoning as to why they’re always on the outside looking in for the majority of every seasons playoff race. Replace them with like, any Penguins season before DecemberThose Kings teams were some of the best regular season analytics teams ever.

Is your weighting scale only 1, 2, or 3?Pionk blog up. Am I allowed to link to my website here? I feel like no. Anyway, y'all reading this thread know where it is. But the biggest item up for debate is the below. These are the metrics and weights for each metric that I'm using. Ridicule the **** out of this. Let's make it better.
What's weighted too much? What's weighted too little? What's missing? What's here but shouldn't be? Come after me.
Individual:
P160 - 3
iCF60 - 3
ixGF60 - 3
Relative:
relTCF60 - 2
relTCA60 - 2
relTxGF60 - 3
relTxGA60 - 3
relxFSh - 1
relxFSv - 1
Usage/Context:
TOI/GP - 1
relZSR - 1
xGFQoT - 1
xGFQoC - 1
No, good question! Can be any number, but they need to total 25.Is your weighting scale only 1, 2, or 3?
Individual. I wanted individual attempts for quantity, individual attempts for quality, and then points. They are definitely related, but I think they serve different purposes. What do you think?Is ixGF60 expected goal rate for that individual player or for the team while he’s on the ice? If it’s individual (which it seems to be) I feel like you’re double counting stuff with also including shot attempt rate (should be a pretty direct correlation) and point rate.
Well, yeah, that's why I included the hockeyviz d-men ice-timeKempny has taken tons of ES TOI away from Orpik. He's the clear cut #4 on this roster. Niskanen, Carlson, and Orlov get used pretty much the same, all logging 20+ per game. Kempny is around 17 minutes. Orpik and Djoos are under 13.
Would have to look at TOI the last 20 games, but not having Orpik out there is big for Washington. He's in a role for him to succeed (3rd pair, penalty killer).
That trade is very similar to the Kevin Klein trade. It stabilized their defense. Oddly enough, if Washington was smarter, they could have:
Orlov-Niskanen
Schmidt-Carlsson
Kempny-Djoos
Instead, they kept Orpik last June.
Josh Gorges wtf?
Lovejoy and Gustafsson too is weird.Josh Gorges wtf?
Not even gonna mention Heed and Franson bc I am not surprised.

Orpik was declining in TOI/gp well before Kempny came to town. Trotz got woke.
Well, right, a dip like that generally displays a dip in ES TOI because there aren't enough special teams minutes to impact that large.That is overall TIO. They weren't taking Orpik's SH TOI away. They were taking his ES TOI away. That graph shows overall. That was my only comment.
