Nearly every time stats like corsi is brought up on this board, it sparks a debate about their worth. Thought it make sense to have a thread to discuss them.
Didn't OKG already do this (I know it was a while back)? Maybe his original one could be stickied.
He did, and it went over like a lead balloon.
I've never been a fan of the scoring chance argument, mostly because I see scoring chance against as random events and strategies favoring scoring chance for as dangerous defensively.Advance stats are great, but they're so limited for us onlookers compared to what the actual teams use. I guarantee that Hartley's system, no matter how dumb we think it is, results in favorable ratings in whatever advanced stats scheme the Flames use. I have my hunches on why his strategy is the way it is, but without numbers I cannot test them.
Regardless, the team still has a lot to work on before they can become competitive imo.
Stars makes a lot of short passes.How different are Hartley's systems from Ruff's systems in Dallas? The Stars seem to play very similarily, just much better, than us.
Was just thinking the other day it'd be cool if the NHL tracked W/L Board Battles...
Yah the guys in charge of the passing project still do so.Do they measure "Passes to a player in scoring position?" is that part of Corsica Fenway or whatever?
In the first 15 games (except game 11-12), I counted the number of completed/attempted transition zone passes done by the six defensemen who have played for the flames so far. That is to say, a pass going north which is either first catched by the receiver's hands or stick and kept possession long enough to make a decision. Shifted my focus to other stuff because it was really boring and annoying.
