Hi guys,
I've just finished up the third season of an ongoing Canes board project under the title "Subjective +/-". At this point the sample of games is large enough that I think it can be used for analysis by the BTN board.
For those who are familiar with how Roger Neilson used to break down game film, that is the essence of this project (I've actually thought of renaming it Neilson Ratings, but that makes it sound like a TV project... anyway.). The basic philosophy is to remove the "white noise" from the traditional +/- statistic by awarding pluses and minuses ONLY to those players who had a material impact on the scoring play.
I've reviewed game film of every Carolina Hurricanes game over the past 3 seasons (212 games in total) and focused on even-strength goals only (approx. 370 goals). In order to mitigate my personal biases as much as possible, the project is open for correction by other forumers; also, the final tables contain a "Margin of Error" column that provides a clear record of situations where there was a lack of consensus over the final decision.
For more information about the rules and results of the project, see the season-by-season threads below:
