Hockey Night in Blogdom: What We Want in 2009
Published 7 days ago by By The New York Times at Slap Shot
... This may be a pipe dream, but I wish for the mainstream media to recognize the N.H.L. for the beautiful moments we all enjoy. An Alex Ovechkin goal, a Sidney Crosby pass, a Henrik Lundqvist save, that’s what we live for, so much more than the uncontrolled mouth of an idiot or a random act of stick-assisted violence. * * * Dirk Hoag of On the Forecheck I’d like to see the N.H.L. owners take a serious look at gate-revenue sharing. It would not only get them acting more like one league than 30 separate teams, but could also address disparate issues like small-market support and ...

You can add 100 more playoff games to that (I never like how these milestones pretend playoff games don't exist).

Underachieving? To a Point.
Published 20 days ago by John Fischer at In Lou We Trust
So I was reading Dominik at Lighthouse Hockey the other day and he found something cool at the Forechecker.  Dirk Hoag (a.k.a. The Forechecker) put together a PythagenPuck Analysis, which is essentially a means of looking at team's goals for and goals against rate to see how good they really are.  Over a whole season, this makes sense, good teams will generally have positive goal differentials and the bad teams will generally not.  Of course, all things are relative, see the figures for the Devils in recent seasons, as an ...

Well, (huge) thanks to The Forechecker hooking me up with a spread sheet that allowed me to separate giveaways and takeaways by the zone in which they occurred, we're on our way to getting where we want to be, metric-wise. ...

It takes a little bit of work, but it’s well worth the effort. The key here is to take the scoring categories that determine your league’s weekly results, and weigh your player projections accordingly. And here come the spreadsheets. Big draft goes on Saturday afternoon. I doubt Dirk leaves his house between now and then. . Labels: ...
