may i ask what you do?

and how do i not do it? that sounds awful. i do worry that i will end up just enjoying learning about the law as opposed to actually doing something with it. (if i even can find someone to pay me to push papers around in this market)

In my opinion there are just too many variables, and Hockey is too much of a team game for any of these stats to have much relevance.

I don't know who that is, so I'm going to assume he's Dave Coulier.

There are just too many variables, and Hockey is too much of a team game for any of these stats to have much relevance.

Looking at possession, a lot was made going into the Rangers series, how much better they were at 5 on 5 play during the season. And it turned out that's where the series was won and lost. But in my view, it was because the Flyers never really played their best Hockey, moreso then the Rangers were just the better 5 on 5 team.
During the regular season, the Rangers were the 7th best possession team at 5 on 5 play, versus the Flyers, who were ranked 20th. Know what the difference was between the two teams in ratings? 1.4 shots attempted for, per period. Or 3.2 shots attempted for per game difference between the two teams. That's it. That's the difference. The differences are miniscule.

More like 9 attempts per game differential between the two teams:

That's not a small margin... especially given parity in the league.

Look, I told you. We're an anarcho-syndicalist commune. We take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week. But all the decision of that officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting-- By a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs,-- But by a two-thirds majority in the case of more major--

Look, I designed my entire project in Word! What do you mean you don't have the same fonts as me? 4-colors? 72dpi? Can't you just convert my file for me?

Here is the miniscule difference between LA, the top Corsi team in the League, and the Flyers.

In the 13/14 NHL Season, according to extraskater.com, the LA Kings were the best possession team in the NHL. The Flyers were ranked in the top of the bottom 1/3 in the League, ranked 20th overall.

So let's look at some numbers.

LA had 3,890 Corsi events for, and 2,956 Corsi events against.

The Flyers had 3,512 Corsi events for, and 3,516 Corsi events against.

Let's break that down to a per game, and per period basis.

LA registered 5 more Corsi events for, and gave up 6 less Corsi events against, per game then the Flyers have.

Broken down per period, LA registered 1.6 more Corsi events for then the Flyers, and gave up 2 less Corsi events against, then the Flyers did. Per period

That's not shots on goal. It's shots attempted. Whether the shot missed the net, was blocked, hit the net, etc.

That's the miniscule difference between the top Corsi team in the League, LA, and the Flyers, ranked 20th.

i think one of the cases used to illustrate the point came from alaska. Nome 2000 vs fagerstrom or something like that?


i can imagine the geography in alaska having a huge impact on it. but that would require me deciding if i like the concept of it or not. i honestly fluctuate a lot on it. i get the whole responsible owner thing, but still. like (frank) off. its mine.
