Looking at the offensive zone starts
Sutter 72%
Beagle 60%
Horvat 45%
Petey 38 %
Sutter in a way made sense because he had to babysit Gaudette for 3 games and Green doesn't trust him taking Dzone faceoffs. Horvat makes sense as well he needs to take more Dzone faceoffs if Gaudette is in the lineup.
Not sure why Beagle has 60% offensive zone starts and Petey 38%.
This is bothering me.
Same thing in the Benn Thread:
Benn is getting 64% o-zone starts and Quinn Hughes is getting 32%.
The reverse is actually happening - because Green doesn't trust his 3rd pairing, Hughes is actually being played away from his strengths in tough defensive minutes.
Where are your numbers from?
They appear wrong.
Player Season Totals - Natural Stat Trick
Hughes is leading the team in ozone starts.
Sooooo... #fakenews?
Also raw numbers: Hughes 25 ozone starts. Benn 9.
Edit: even if you weren't lying and you honestly got a bad source or made a mistake... you would be willing to completely throw out what your eyes have been watching to say that Benn has hindered Hughes deployment????? You watching the games right? Amazing.
The numbers between Natural Stat Trick and https://www.hockey-reference.com are different?
Hockey-Reference has 'oZS%' which they define as 'O-Zone Faceoffs / (D-Zone Faceoffs + O-Zone Faceoffs)' at even strength.
Naturalstattrick has 'Off. Zone Faceoff %' which I can tell is their 'Off. Zone Faceoffs / (Def. Zone Faceoffs + Off. Zone Faceoffs)' with a filter of 5v5.
These should be the same? Feel like I'm missing something.
Sutter at 72.7% oZS% vs 23.5% Off. Zone Faceoff %
Beagle at 60.6% oZS% vs 28.1% Off. Zone Faceoff %
Horvat at 43.8% oZS% vs 49.18% Off. Zone Faceoff %
Petterson at 38.2% oZS% vs 81.1% Off. Zone Faceoff %
Benn at 64.4% oZS% vs 29.8% Off. Zone Faceoff %
Naturalstattrick has their actual FO stats. While Hockeyreference doesn't have their underlying stats.
Are these inverses somehow? Which one would be the actual Off Zone starts? Where does their data come from? Is this independently tracked?
I tried for a bit to find some verifying data but failed in finding any sort of FO stats that were helpful. If anybody could shed some light on where my disconnect is - that'd be great.
