Really? Because the advanced stats have been bang (frank)ing on about your team this year

check again. Leafs wining when giving up tons of shots, getting very little. Now Leafs losing more than winning but taking more shots than previous and giving up less than before.

so no.

Holy fack. This is hardly an exhibition of exemplary hockey. Ugly.

the way he intended it isn't the way its being used now.

Don't they keep an official stat for that in soccer? Why don't they do that with hockey so we can kill the Corsi stat.

If Clarkson was half the player Steve Ott is, I would be ok with the signing.

Franson, 4th in the league in hits. Who is it who says he's not physical enough?

I've seen tsn and such post "time in the offensive zone" so they must have the capability but it's not official stat.

I think they used to, not sure why they stopped.

If I ran a team I'd value scoring chances for/against when on the ice more than anything.

That's where you hit some Gray area. Is every shot a scoring chance?

What's a scoring chance though? Different buildings would calculate it differently just like with hits I bet. That's a tough stat to keep accurate.

Because he's not punchy? Watch the games; he's plenty physical.

Yeah I've seen that. It's pretty awesome. Leafs are always like 40/60 on that lol.

It's extremely difficult to do that in the NHL nowadays; the Pronger days of hacking and slashing are long gone. Look at how long the stickman Clarkson can park in front of the net for?
