Postgame Notes & Quotes Avalanche Vs. Boston Sunday, Nov. 13 Postgame Notes & Quotes Avalanche vs. Boston Sunday, Nov. 13, 2016 The Avalanche is now 18-10-1 against the Bruins since moving to Denver. They’re 2-3-0 against the Eastern Conference this season. Jarome Iginla skated in his 1,488th career NHL game, passing Wayne Gretzky to take sole possession of 18th place on the NHL’s all-time list. Semyon Varlamov’s 23 saves in the second period are tied for the second most in a single period in Avalanche history (since 1995-96 season). Calvin Pickard has the record with 24 saves in the third period on March 3, 2016 vs. Florida. Patrick Roy recorded two 23-save periods on Oct. 15, 1997 at Edmonton and March 25, 1997 at Hartford. Varlamov finished with a season high 43 saves. Sunday’s game marked the NHL debut for left wing A.J. Greer, who recorded two shots and one takeaway in 16:34 of ice time. Defenseman Tyson Barrie logged a season high 25:24 of ice time. Boston recorded a season high 45 shots, which is also the most shots the Avs have allowed this season. The Bruins’ 23 shots in the second period are the most allowed by the Avalanche in a single frame this season. Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask posted his 33rd career shutout and third of the season. He is now 10-1-0 this season, which ties Montreal goaltender Carey Price for the league lead in wins. David Krejci extended his point streak to three games and has recorded four points in his last three contests. The Bruins are five goals shy of scoring the 20,000th goal in franchise history. They will become just the second team in NHL history to reach that milestone (Montreal Canadiens). Colorado LW A.J. Greer On His First NHL Game: “It was a great experience. You know, being in this building with this atmosphere, it was unbelievable and a dream come true, obviously. You work your whole life toward this goal. The work just started. I’m proud to have lived this experience and hopefully, it’s not my last.” On How The San Antonio Rampage Prepared Him For This Experience: “It helped a lot. It’s the same systems as here. You kind of learn from the old guys as well, little tweaks here and there. It’s pretty much the same thing. It’s an advantage because you come ready and don’t have to think too much and you just get right into it and do your thing.” Colorado D Francois Beauchemin On Boston’s Shots Tonight: “A lot of it came from us turning the puck over. We are not breaking out clean out of our zone, not getting in deep in the neutral zone. They came back and took a lot of shots at the net. I don’t know how many they got on their power plays, I’m sure they got a few, but 5-on-5, we have to find ways to generate more. It’s every game now. We know it’s only zero, one or two goals, it gets frustrating. Guys need to play hockey, making the simple plays, getting pucks to the net with bodies in front. That’s how we have to score some goals.” On Regrouping For The Los Angeles Game On Tuesday: “Well it’s a must-win situation again. I mean, we had a chance tonight, like I said, to get back in it and not trail too far. It’s a tough loss but again, we’ll have a good practice tomorrow like we did last week and go back at it on Tuesday.” Boston D Brandon Carlo On His First NHL Game In His Home state: “I watched some games in this building growing up so being across the ice from some of those guys as well is a pretty cool experience for me. Obviously they are guys I looked up to when I was younger. It was a really cool experience for me.” On His Breakaway Shot: “Really fun for me to get on that breakaway and give it a shot at least, pretty cool to break out of the box there and get on the rush.” Boston G Tuukka Rask On Tonight’s Game: “That’s how you win a road game, you know. We said after the game that’s exactly how you want to play on the road. It was pretty much a mistake-free game and I’m very, very proud of our effort especially on the schedule we’ve had.” On Playing In Back-To-Back Games: “In a back-to-back game like this you want to get off to a good start and not play behind because that is going to take a lot of energy out of you and you necessarily don’t have that energy, so we scored the goal and we kept it tight defensively and we didn’t have to overwork.” .

  • An Introductory Guide to Advanced Hockey Stats
    SHOT METRICS: AN INTRODUCTORY GUIDE TO ADVANCED HOCKEY STATS by Mike McLaughlin Patrick McLaughlin July 2013 Copyright c Left Wing Lock, Inc. 2013 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT A primary goal of analysis in hockey and fantasy hockey is the ability to use statistics to accurately project the future performance of individual players and teams. Traditional hockey statistics (goals, assists, +/-, etc.) are limited in their ability to achieve this goal, due in large part to their non-repeatability. One alternative approach to hockey analysis would use puck possession as its fundamental metric. That is, if a player or team is dominant, that dominance should be reflected in the amount of time in which they possess the puck. Unfortunately, the NHL does not track nor publish data related to puck possession. In spite of this lack of data, there are methods that can be used to track puck possession. The purpose of this document is to introduce hockey fans (and fantasy hockey managers) to the topic of Shot Metrics. Briefly, Shot Metrics involves the use of NHL shot data to analyze individual players and teams. The shot data is used as a proxy for puck possession. Essentially, teams that are able to shoot the puck more often are doing so because they are more frequently in possession of the puck. It turns out that teams that are able to consistently outshoot their opponents typically end up winning games and performing well in the playoffs [1]. Thus, shot data can play an integral role in the way the game of hockey is analyzed.

  • 20 0124 Bridgeport Bios
    BRIDGEPORT SOUND TIGERS: COACHES BIOS BRENT THOMPSON - HEAD COACH Brent Thompson is in his seventh season as head coach of the Bridgeport Sound Tigers, which also marks his ninth year in the New York Islanders organization. Thompson was originally hired to coach the Sound Tigers on June 28, 2011 and led the team to a division title in 2011-12 before being named assistant South Division coach of the Islanders for two seasons (2012-14). On May 2, 2014, the Islanders announced Thompson would return to his role as head coach of the Sound Tigers. He is 246-203-50 in 499 career regular-season games as Bridgeport's head coach. Thompson became the Sound Tigers' all-time winningest head coach on Jan. 28, 2017, passing Jack Capuano with his 134th career victory. Prior to his time in Bridgeport, Thompson served as head coach of the Alaska Aces (ECHL) for two years (2009-11), winning the Kelly Cup Championship in 2011. During his two seasons as head coach in Alaska, Thompson amassed a record of 83- 50-11 and won the John Brophy Award as ECHL Coach of the Year in 2011 after leading the team to a record of 47-22-3. Thompson also served as a player/coach with the CHL’s Colorado Eagles in 2003-04 and was an assistant with the AHL’s Peoria Rivermen from 2005-09. Before joining the coaching ranks, Thompson enjoyed a 14-year professional playing career from 1991-2005, which included 121 NHL games and more than 900 professional contests. The Calgary, AB native was originally drafted by the Los Angeles Kings in the second round (39th overall) of the 1989 NHL Entry Draft.

  • Expect the Expected: Approximating the Caliber of Possession Using Shot Quality
    Expect the Expected: Approximating the Caliber of Possession Using Shot Quality James McCorriston Connor Reed [email protected] [email protected] Abstract The NHL has experienced rapid growth in analytical metrics and advanced statistics in recent years. While popular statistics like Fenwick and Corsi act as good approximations for puck possession, they are limited in what they tell about scoring opportunities as they do not consider shot quality. In this study, we consider shot distance as an approximation of shot quality, and we combine Fenwick and NHL play-by-play shot distance data to develop a series of new statistics: Expected Goals (xGoals), Expected Differential (xDiff), and Goals-Above-Expected (GAE) for skaters, as well as Expected Save Percentage (xSv%) and Adjusted Save Percentage for goaltenders. As a basis for these new metrics, we first show that shot distance serves as a good approximation for shot quality, and that we can reverse-engineer scoring probabilities for each shot taken by a player. The concept of approximating shot quality is extended to analyze the performance of players, teams, and goaltenders. Using NHL play-by-play data from the 2007-08 season to the 2014-15 season, we show that xGoals are the best indicator of how many goals a player should be scoring, and we show that it stays more consistent for an individual from year-to-year than other comparable statistics. Finally, we show that on a single-game resolution, xGoals are the best indicator for which team should have won a particular game. The novel set of metrics introduced in this paper offer a more reliable and indicative tool for assessing the ability of skaters, goaltenders, and teams and provides a new basis for analyzing the game of professional hockey.

  • Product Recall Notice for 'Shot Quality'
    Product Recall Notice for ‘Shot Quality’ Data quality problems with the measurement of the quality of a hockey team’s shots taken and allowed Copyright Alan Ryder, 2007 Hockey Analytics www.HockeyAnalytics.com Product Recall Notice for Shot Quality 2 Introduction In 2004 I outlined a method for the measurement of “Shot Quality” 1. This paper presents a cautionary note on the calculation of shot quality. Several individuals have enhanced my approach, or expressed the outcome differently, but the fundamental method to determine shot quality remains unchanged: 1. For each shot taken/allowed, collect the data concerning circumstances (e.g. shot distance, shot type, situation, rebound, etc) and outcome (goal, save). 2. Build a model of goal probabilities that relies on the circumstance. Current best practice is that of Ken Krzywicki involving binary logistic regression techniques 2. I now use a slight variation on that theme that ensures that the model reproduces the actual number of goals for each shot type and situation. 3. For each shot apply the model to the shot data to determine its goal probability. 4. Expected Goals: EG = the sum of the goal probabilities for each shot for a given team. 5. Neutralize the variation in shots on goal by calculating Normalized Expected Goals: NEG = EG x Shots< / Shots (Shots< = League Average Shots For/Against). 6. Shot Quality: SQ = NEG / GA< (GA< = League Average Goals For/Against). I have called the result SQA for shots against and SQF for shots for . I normally talk about a team’s shot overall quality but one can determine shot quality any subset of its total shots (e.g.
