So throughout the year a few different stats are going to be tracked, and at the end of the year a simple regression analysis will be done to see if there is anything to these stats. I will update this post as the year goes on to attempt to keep every thing organized.
If you have an idea for a stat, or want to help gather the data please post up. I might add a signup list if we get enough.
Possible stats being tracked:
Puck Possession Time by Zone: Exactly what it says. This will be timed from the time puck possession is clearly won, to the time it is clearly lost (IE board battles can be included in the time). I want to track both teams as there will be time where possession is given up and it hasn't been recovered yet.
Controlled Zone Entries: Simply when a player enters the offensive zone with puck control. At the start it probably won't be broke out by player, but may evolve.
Shots broke out by area (basic shot chart): Tracking the origin of shots (tips don't count) into offensive zone areas... probably something similar to this:
Shot attempts broke out by area (shot attempt chart): Same as above, but the shot doesn't have to be on goal.
Scoring chances: Difficult metric to quantify, but would be very useful info if a method can be found. Stats compiled by the different networks and arena to arena are subjective and tend to be biased.
I will also be putting the Corsi and Fenwick in here as well as a comparison, but not actually tracking those as the data is out there already.
If you have an idea for a stat, post it up. If you want to help track, post up what you can do. Even if it is only a few games this season, it will be helpful.
Cumulative ES scoring chances (Avs-Opp): 27-42
