[deeshamrock]

Score-Adjusted Fenwick (shot differential, adjusted for in-game score effects) -- has proven over, and over, and over to be one of the deadliest forecasters of future success/failure

What the analysis shows:

6) LA Kings? Still the best team in hockey. Chicago's going to be a worthy challenger to the throne this year, as will a couple of other legitimate Western Conference contenders. Playoffs should be fantastic.

Every single sort of analysis like this says the Ucks are going to falter, it's just a matter of when.

Hopefully in the playoffs.... Against us.

Kings lead in Corsi close aswell by a big chunk

Whats sick is that they have around the 5th worst pdo in the league, yet are still 4 games above .500

Not only are we close to Chicago, but we are well ahead of any other team. By those numbers, it's Chicago, us, and the rest of the NHL.

I agree on his other point, Ottawa is going be a big watch come the playoffs if Spezza and Karlsson return. Even at 75% they upgrade that team, and Ottawa is already doing very well without them.

Funny how the Sharks' blog is drastically different with similar numbers.

I just looked in my fenwick crystal ball and what did I see? The Kings winning the Stanley Cup again!

That just shows we got our act together within the last month.

 

[Whiskeypete]

this is why the games are actually played. otherwise they could just run a sim of the season in one day and wrap it all up without anyone touching a puck or stepping on the ice.

Watching the Ducks this season was like watching the Dodgers last season. I'm a big Dodgers fan, but I knew that they were operating on smoke and mirrors early on and it was doubtful they could sustain that level of winning. I'm really not impressed with the Ducks at all. With such a short season, they've piled up enough wins early that they'll likely get in the playoffs without issues. That being said, they don't instill any kind of fear in me. They have some top end talent, but not impressed with the rest of the team depth.

I just looked at my Fenwick and it makes me want to go out and fish.

Fear the Fin has run score adjusted Fenwick for all teams from the very start of the season. You can see the rank of every team as part of their weekly playoff odds post.

Here is the one from last Sunday: Week 5 Playoff Probabilities.

Fun to read every week. Kings have been #1 for a while, I think, but Vancouver has been close.

 

[Rorschach]

The Kings won't have a four rounds of four wins best of seven, they'll have a countdown to 16 wins.

Someone should post this on the main board.

Nerdstats never lie!

Generating more scoring chances than your opponents leads to winning more games over the course of a long season, who knew?

Seriously, it is an interesting analysis and the gathering of the information to generate these numbers must not be much fun.
