What are the statistics that are most indicative of a player's / line's / team's play?
Here's my list of top five:
1. 5v5 Corsi For % = (Corsi For) / (Corsi For + Corsi Against)
2. Ratio of teams unblocked shot attempts when score is within one goal or tied (FenClose) - Haven't found a good source for this statistic; please let me know if you have.
3. Goaltender save percentage
4. Even strength situations for skaters to supplement Corsi For: plus / minus and Primary Points Per 60 - I know plus / minus gets criticized but hockey's about scoring more goals than your opponent. Primary points per 60 gives view of key contributions from players who may not get as much ice time.
5. Teams special teams: Penalty kill and power play percentages individually and aggregated. Not end all and be all, but 9 out of top 11 made playoffs and 5 out of 8 represent 2nd round.
Any other top 5 / 10 critical statistics? If you would use ones other than those listed above, please share why.
Does any stat measure the number of rebounds goaltenders allow?
