What does these numbers mean?
HDCF is High-Danger corsi for, shot attempt from high danger slot -area. It has had ~13.5% probality to go in on average. This is NHL regular season average.
MedDCF is medium-danger corsi for, shot attempt from medium-danger slot
They are separated in this table because, I hate corsi as a pure corsi, when every shot attempt is count as equal. That's the biggest flaw on normal corsi. But these High and Medium-dangers made it A LOT more informative.
What I've studied these, best defenceman seem to have low HIGH-danger Corsi Against. They protect the net-front area, and it comes from there. Ryan Suter was best at last season, from guys with high qualcomp group.
High-Danger Corsi has 13.5% probability to go in at last season
MediumDanger Corsi attempt had 5.2% proablity to go in at last season
Low-danger Corsi attempt had 1.8% proablity to go in at last season.
This gives you the weighload for different area shots. High-Danger Area shot attempt is over 7 times higher proability to go in as Low-danger for example.
So I created my own basic expected goals formula for these shot attempts. (HDCF*0.135 + MedDCF*0.052 + LowDCF*0.018) = xGF
It counts the average mathematical sum, how much team should score when a player is on the ice, and how much opposite team should score against.
***
It's only 2 games, very very small sample size, but Vili Saarijärvi just jumps out from that data. Best on xGF-xGA sum and that's a sky-high value.
Also 9-0 on HIGH-dangers is pretty impressive, against any kind of qualcomp. Easy or hard, that's really hard to achieve. He played his games with Kronwall and Hicketts. Hicketts best game was with Saarijärvi (13-1 in scoring chances), then he has had two average games with Sulak.
What comes to other kids, those xGtot values between Hronek, Sulak and Hicketts are pretty equal. It's really splitting hairs between them. But Cholowski has been worse than them defensively.
