Postgame Notes & Quotes Colorado Avalanche 2, New York Islanders 1 Postgame Notes & Quotes Colorado Avalanche 2, New York Islanders 1 (OT) Friday, Jan. 6, 2017 The Avalanche are 5-0 in overtime this season, one of just two teams (New York Rangers) that has not lost in the extra frame in 2016-17. Colorado is tied for third in the league with five overtime-winning tallies. The Avs are 0-1 in shootouts. Nathan MacKinnon recorded his second career regular-season overtime goal, just two weeks after his first (Dec. 23 at Chicago). With a goal and an assist on the night, MacKinnon notched his ninth multipoint game of the season and his fourth game- winning goal, both tops on the team. He ranks first amongst all Avalanche skaters with 27 points. Matt Nieto’s penalty shot in the first period was first of the season for the Avalanche and the first career penalty shot for Nieto. The Avalanche is 0-for-1 on penalty shots this season, 24-for-44 in franchise history and 14-for-25 since moving to Denver. It was the first Avalanche penalty shot versus the New York Islanders and second against the Isles in franchise history (Jan. 26, 1984, Michel Goulet). Tyson Barrie registered his team-leading 18th assist with a helper on MacKinnon’s overtime winner. Neito’s four shots on goal in tonight’s game is a season high. Ryan Strome, who recorded the secondary assist on the Islanders’ second-period marker, has now totaled eight points (four goals, four assists) in his last nine outings. Colorado C Nathan MacKinnon On Earning The Result: “Yeah, we played well. I thought we had a little bit of a letdown in the second. They had a good period, but overall we played solid. We knew they were coming off their break, so wanted to be good and we were really good in the first period, so we’re excited about the win.” On Getting The Win: “Yeah, it was a long time coming, you know. It’s been tough at home, it’s been tough in general, obviously. Wins haven’t been easy to get and obviously we have a lot of work to do still, but it definitely feels good to win heading into this break for sure.” Colorado LW Matt Nieto On Playing His First Game With Colorado: “It’s obviously a good feeling, getting a win heading into a break here. I think all the guys will enjoy the break a little more after that. We’ll come back after and get back to work.” On His Performance: “Yeah, you know, I thought I brought pretty good energy. I think I got rewarded for it. I knew I’d make a couple mistakes out there, just adjusting to systems and what not. For the most part, a smooth transition and you know it’s definitely something to build off of.” New York Islanders C John Tavares On The Team’s Effort: “[We] put up a pretty good hockey game after our break. We had chances we just didn’t score them and obviously an unfortunate call in overtime and those are tough to kill. They did a good job up until the goal a fortunate bounce.” On Their Time Off: “Well, the break is nice to have, I mean it’s going to pay off in the course of the next few weeks. But certainly starting off and being put in this altitude especially isn’t easy. I like the way we battled, and as the game went on I think we started to get better and better. I think everyone started to get their lungs and legs back as we got along. I think the break was obviously good in the upcoming weeks here. I’m sure we will feel a lot better tomorrow.” New York Islanders D Travis Hamonic On Tonight’s Game: “Yeah, honestly I thought we played a pretty good game. They are obviously a hungry group. They were really skilled up front and we tried to skate in their building. Frustrating way to lose at the end, but we certainly had our fair share. That might have been the most active overtime that we have seen this year, and we had an opportunity ourselves.” On The Goaltenders: “Greissers (Islanders G Thomas Greiss) played really well for us, he is just a big wall in there. He is constantly talking, he’s very vocal. He makes the first and second save all the time. He is an easy guy to play in front of and Calvin (Colorado G Calvin Pickard) played really well for them. I’ve known him for a while obviously being Winnipeg guys helps. I tried to sneak one on him in there earlier, but he played really well and chances were back and forth for both of them.” .

  • 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.
