Without McDavid Draisaitl posts barely 50% at SF%, 42% at GF%, barely 50% at CF%, net negative CF% of 49% and hdcf of 47%.
In 16/17 those numbers were even worse when he was well below the median in every category away from McDavid, with McDavid he is positive in every single category, so do tell how is that possible if McDavid doesn't significantly affect how Leon looks and performs on the ice?
I have been posting on blogs for the last 12 years.
Presenting my 20+ base theories:
My philosophical approach to the anslysis was imperical.
Human mechanics with video support.
GF and GA looking at past history non top 16 GA were 30% more likely to make playoffs than non top 16 GF teams.
Top 5 GA teams can win a cup as a bottom 30 GF team.
Top 5 GF team can only win a cup with better than avg (15th) GA.
When Button tied into servelli on TV about GF more important than GA. It was an outright lie or showing truly uneducated moronic narrative by a fool. When it comes to system facts. game play or true mechanics of play anslysis he is a real bad.
2 critical observations allowed me to 100% break down def Ga play.
1. 5 yr old me observing and 14 yr old (50 yr ago) me Realizing the violence of Clarke , Leach, Stoughtn Flin Flon bombers violence was about defending the net and going to the net. Forwards willing to penetrate the area in front of the net were bomber though. high danger shot density was observed 50 years ago.
- High danger sh density chart (rickisbox) now called homeplate 12 years later. HD sh go in 5 times more than perimeter.
- elite HD Dmen Manson, Chara, Larsson, ....
- Dpairs establish the Save% avg a goalie performs around.
7.00 HD sh 23 LD shots = .932 save% average
10.5 HD sh 19.5 LD = .916 Save% average
14.5 HD 15.5 LD = .898 save% avg. see Calgary’s Defence.
- Goalie performance is +/- save% measure relative to established save %
2. Played street (sand ) hockey with a 7 year old boy as a 10 year old (44 yrs ago). He wanted to play and trade cards. We let him play net and out. But we liked him in net. He did not stand up and drop to butterfly. He moved with the puck like a table hockey goalie with a high hit rate. Closed shots - 0% chance going in.
I have been contacting all those people who I observed or talked to about my proprietary theories. Including that young man.
Ron Gunville Player Personel Director for the PA Raiders.
Which is a whole line 0f def theory.
- Table hockey goalie.
- 0% corsi = (blocks + misses + closed shots)
- elite 0% corsi dmen = 0%corsi/corsi against. #1 3yrs K. Russell.
- High danger open shot density chart.
- Dpairs establish HD Open shot save% average goalies perform around.
The first one I presented was
- player dituation matrix: 512 groups of 3d matrix ( matricies) based on Desjardins Team, Comp, ZS. 10 years ago.
All 3 axis are critical. The copied versions were presented as 2 axis player usage charts which are a useless inaccurate representation.
- modifying results for 60% of ZS - FO ZS. Which can cause +/- 15 CF/ CA variances.
- modifying results for 40% of ZS - coaches bench change with or without pocession.
- baseline avg and +/- ranges for any player situation for allmeasurable /60 variables.
Traditional plus minus ( unit differential) is a variable that gets a situation avg and ranges. It is a great reference measure for players.
Shawn horcoff had an expected +/- avg of -31 in
06-07 -22 he was +9 better than -31
09-10 -29 he was +2 better than -31
11-12 -23 he was +8 better than -31
All, that is being discussed here needs situation, WOWY, and system structure freference in any discussion. I have presented a lot of the simplified basics of my theories on this site.
I look for high ratio variance actors.
- HD sh go in 5 times more than LD Perimeter sh.
- offensive Dmen abandon def of HD area. By Zone structure I defined them as a rover. The traditional def structure is a triangle.
2D - 1G. I defined OFf dmen as a rover 3f - 1R - 2D - 1G or a 4th forward 4f - 1D - 1G leads to a lot of opp man advantage satracks in ourDZ
- theory: offensive Dmen are offensive. since Off dmen are not dmen but occupy Fwd area by structure. Thier performance is measured against forwards. Forwards generate even offence 4 times more effectively than Off dmen. (Rovers) .
This goes back 8 years. The articles
- Forwards running NZ trap is the most critical actor affect on Zone entry.
- a lot of the Cf, GF, had 10 to 100 times less affect than high actors. Which makes them ignored ( due in significant value) in Boolean and Heyting algebra.
This is were analysis was at 12 years ago. But my human action aproach was figured out at age 12.
You don’t not have even 1/3 the story in your discussions.
Turn quicknreferences you provide does have performance value.
