The Advanced Stats Thread Episode VI: RIP To Our Databases

[Ghost of jas]

Well, 30 is still a bull**** number. Players plateau at what, 23/24?

I understand it, but the foundation driving the argument for most people is hilariously wrong.

The foundation is money. That’s what it comes down to. In a cap era, you need inexpensive talent to balance a roster. You can't afford Girardi/Staal contracts, so after being burned on those type of deals, every player closing in on 30 years old and free agency runs the risk of being the next bad contract.

Now that the matchups are set, I can do my little project of completing a bracket based solely on the composite rankings of three different team analytics.

TEAM	CF%	xGF%	K	AVG
NSH	9th	14th	3rd	12th
COL	27th	28th	13th	23rd
WPG	5th	10th	2nd	6th
MIN	29th	1st	6th	12th
VGK	12th	16th	7th	12th
LAK	16th	23rd	9th	16th
ANA	22nd	22nd	5th	16th
SJS	13th	10th	14th	12th
TBL	7th	6th	1st	3rd
NJD	21st	18th	15th	17th
BOS	2nd	3rd	10th	3rd
TOR	17th	13th	4th	11th
WSH	24th	25th	16th	18th
CBJ	8th	9th	18th	12th
PIT	5th	7th	12th	8th
PHI	18th	17th	11th	15th

So we take the "AVG" column and whoever scores higher wins the series. If tied, I went to decimal points.

Here's what the bracket looks like...

Disclaimer: this is not MY prediction, I just want to see how this bracket does.

Quick takeaway: Washington and Colorado are ****ing awful hockey teams and if they win their first round series, I ****ing quit.

Possible limitation: Tampa vs Boston will be a nuclear war and the numbers can't take into account how tired the winner will be (and other misc things like injuries) but I wanted to stick to the numbers.

3-for-3 tonight

JT shot 22.2 f***ing percent on Tampa in his 19 games. What's gonna happen in the ploffs? Normal ploff JT Miller or regular season JT Miller?

Hopefully playoff Miller because these boards would become unreadable.

I think this one playoff run will be regular season JT, just for you

"become"

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

I hope Miller lights it up so they have to pay him

Or knowing Yzerman they will trade him for a blue chip prospect

 

[Thirty One]

I hope everyone on Tampa lights it up because I am hungry for another first round pick

This is good for the Rangers

Chiarelli is looking to go for the hat trick of giving metro NY teams a great asset for nothing

Which means we're getting Klefbom or Puljujarvi for Vesey in a couple months

Reporter: "Why didn't you guys win the lottery?"

Underrated insane NHL thing: GM’s get to make the rules (that allow them to look good and keep their jobs)
