I crunched the numbers and here is the correlation graph going back to the 2004 lockout.


r = 0.3315



Exactly –1. A perfect downhill (negative) linear relationship

–0.70. A strong downhill (negative) linear relationship

–0.50. A moderate downhill (negative) relationship

–0.30. A weak downhill (negative) linear relationship

0. No linear relationship

+0.30. A weak uphill (positive) linear relationship

+0.50. A moderate uphill (positive) relationship

+0.70. A strong uphill (positive) linear relationship

Exactly +1. A perfect uphill (positive) linear relationship

So there's a weak relationship.

Interesting not is there are season with very strong relationship and one that are really weak ( like 0.03 weak)

Sounds amazing. Good for you two. Enjoy these moments. Makes me miss my pops even more. I'm having a draft party at my place, send the invites out yesterday

This is points vs FO% next is standings vs FO%

Scratch that too much work.

When the Leafs select their first pick.


ends after they select the 24th.....unless they make a trade

Sounds like alot of fun! And I think every Leafs fan should be excited for this draft, no reason you guys won't get at the very least 1 very good player out of this.

I'm quitting my job in a week so I'll get to watch the whole thing at home... even If I barely know any players past the second round...

You can pretend that we know everyone and that everyone we drafted is the best, with us, when it happens

Okay okay...kiss and make up you two.
- systemtool

Definitely kiss.

Definitely kiss.

your camera rollin?

So what the graphic is saying is that there is a correlation, but it's not strong enough to say think that one causes the other.

There could be other factors as centres that are good players tend to be good at face offs.
