Modnote: dogpiling on mook is annoying and, I think, counterproductive at this point since he does seem to be making an effort to post better. On the other hand, mook: Habibi posted:It's not that hard. Like, it's nice that Paulocast and Evilwaldo told you they enjoy your posts, but when you offer silly opinions and then fly into a frothing, defensive fit every time someone challenges or mocks them, it gets pretty hard to take you seriously. And this is coming from someone who doesn't typically mind your posting, despite your team loyalty. But, man, you need to chill the gently caress out. Also "hivemind" posts are the worst.

The Panthers signed Nick Bjugstad to a six year deal, which is smart as hell because that kid is quietly going to develop into an even better player than he already is.

I haven't seen much of him this session, but the play by play guys kept saying his name last night because he had the puck all the time. Not that this is a miracle when playing the habs, but it's a good sign for sure.

Enjoy this dump of usage-adjusted possession stats for some Eastern conference defense corps via https://twitter.com/MimicoHero        Summary: Hamilton and Chara are nutso. Klein and Franson are having career years... but so is Nashville, so hey, it worked out for everyone. Leddy and Boychuk good. Wiercioch should probably play more. Surprisingly, Nick Schultz is not terrible? Johnson, Grossmann and Phillips horrible. Phaneuf, Polak, Robidas and Holzer.... agraegdfh. That's the "#1 defenseman on a 7 year contract" and two of the key offseason acquisitions to shore up RHD depth (thanks Nonis!). The only other RHD after Franson and those two clowns is Korbinian Holzer, whose only awesome attribute is his name.

The weather could be too good for outdoor hockey tomorrow Short version- if there's too much sun, the faceoff may be delayed until around 2:30. The league is also apparently allowing players to wear sunglasses.

I want to say the NHL is transitioning away from "stay-at-home" defensemen, but they're not. Hell, those are the D making a poo poo load of cash as UFAs and playing first pairing with Erik Karlsson while Wiercioch is a scratch and god dammit fuckkk

THE MACHO MAN posted:What exactly is usage adjusted corsi again? My first question, too. He wrote a thing about it here, with the short answer being that the adjustments are an attempt to account for usage and expected results, similar to angry math teacher Steve Burtch's delta-corsi.

Those usage adjustments are ill-fitted for analyzing the Rangers. This point in particular notes a bias that I don't think applies to how the coach deploys players: "Better possession players tend to receive more offensive zone starts (inflates the weighting of zone starts in the regression analysis)" John Moore has the softest starts in terms of both being in the offensive zone and playing against weaker competition. Girardi, McDonagh, and Staal obviously play the toughest minutes against the strongest competition. Considering AV's zone/matchup-focused deployments, I don't think these stats are of any value in evaluating the Rangers.

Rotten Cookies posted:It's cool that those charts are saying that the Isles defense is great. But those charts are also telling me Ryan McDonagh is almost a replacement guy for the Rangers. McDonagh has only played 23 games this season and he was actually pretty bad for the first 10 games before he got hurt (0G 3A +0 and I saw him get turnstiled several times) compared to 2G, 6A, +11 in 13GP since he came back. Also his non-usage adjusted 5v5 CF% is 47.8%, so the usage adjustment bumps him up around 0.5% which doesn't seem unreasonable.

Considering AV's zone/matchup-focused deployments, I don't think these stats are of any value in evaluating the Rangers. Um, that's kind of the whole point of this exercise. Moore gets easy usage, so his 5v5 CF% of 52.7% gets corrected down to a little over 50%. Precambrian Video Games fucked around with this message at 22:05 on Dec 31, 2014 |

I wanted to say to myself that I wondered what happened to McDonagh, but then I realized that his defensive nature would not show up here. Oh, he's also making $2.7M LESS than Girardi this year. EDIT: I'm an idiot that doesn't understand fancystats. But the salary bit still applies. Overwined fucked around with this message at 22:43 on Dec 31, 2014 |

Oh, he's also making $2.7M LESS than Girardi this year. Defensive ability should translate to better CF%, though in this case defense means preventing shots and sending the puck back the other way. On the other hand, actual point production won't... McDonagh is the highest-scoring Ranger defenseman and is tied with Klein with 11 points despite playing 23 games instead of 33/34. So don't think that that one chart means that the Rangers should fire McDonagh into the sun and give Hunwick all of his minutes.

Yeah I'm pretty happy with how the Rangers D corps is being used, and when they're all healthy, its a pretty good group. Caveat is that like with last year and Stralman, we're getting a career year out of a replacement level guy before this.

From what (little) I understand about Corsi, strength of competition is a factor. And since McDonagh sees probably some of the toughest defensive minutes in the league and can still stay buoyant that he's better than the stats might show. Or am I reading that wrong? Anyway, I'm in no way saying fire McDonagh into the sun. At $4.3M this year he's an absolute steal. Girardi on the other hand....

most likely, McD's stats are just weighed down by a bad set of games in a small sample size. 23 games is not much of a set at all, especially when some were off of return from injury, with less practice days, less actual game days, etc. since he has been a solidly above average CF% player the past few seasons, he will probably continue to be so given the full season of play

Yeah, how a player is getting used has a massive effect on their Corsi numbers. A player putting an above 50% as the offensive dude, and putting up a 50% as the shut-down guy are 2 pretty different things.
