Just saw this, good for him, he was one of the better bloggers out there regarding advanced stats. It won't stop people hating though.

Smart pickup. Poor kimmo.
Thankfully you have Stone Cold Steve Mason to save you from M_Z's future mental lapses.

I think if it was a 'pick a Canadian team you hate' in Canada, it'd be the Leafs easily; though I wonder about no. 2...
But picking an American team in Canada? Easily the Broons.
I'm so confused
That's some After Hours shit right there.
Man, fuck ants.

I never really thought his stuff was that informative or interesting. Mostly fiddling with Corsi and Fenwick. Does he have a background in math or statistics?
Still, good on him for turning a hobby project into a new NHL career.
Air Canada Center for Ants.
No idea about his background, but like Samyy mentioned, he wrote a lot of interesting articles analyzing zone entries, exiting the zone, cycling, etc. A lot of system analysis.
A lot of the stats he was forced to use are crap, unfortunately.
Hopefully i can get my suite of stats online by end of season.. at least for GAF to play with. (the stats require a lot of checks to ensure everything is right)
Hockey desperately needs better metrics, way better QoC/QoT, better player by player analysis (especially goalies), better defensive zone analysis and farrrr better PP/PK analysis.
Also needs more corrective things done... like aligning ice time and offensive zone possession, ensuring a scoring play that occurs say 2-3 seconds after a line change are given to the people sitting on the bench... giving more context to +/-.
I am basically adding more stats than currently exists in hockey

At least there's always modeling if this hockey thing doesn't work out..
Good lord, is that supposed to be a follow through? That is physically uncomfortable to look at. It's like he hit the ball in the middle of a stroll.
I will use the name dopey for the direct corsi replacement, of course.
Nah, I've learned that people with poor taste will continue to have poor taste, regardless if offered an enlightened opinion.
I was originally going to implement ways to measure the effect of toughness in a game, but decided against it for time and just in case i accidentally make the david clarkson contract look good.
Primarily hits compared to offensive/defensive output etc
But then i remembered hits is wildly different between arenas and I'd have to re-do hits/nudges stats which is hard for a singular camera view
Water Bottle Index?
My point exactly?
Yea as Red said the dude poured over tons and tons of video and used advanced stats to show how the deficiencies in the Oiler's systems, player usage, types of players they had etc.
He brokedown pretty much everything and wrote multiple articles essentially providing a comprehensive indictment about everything the Oilers do with their team.
If his stuff wasn't pulled from the Internet forever I would have linked some really crazy in-depth stuff he was doing about how the Oilers were behaving post-faceoff win/loss, cylce, zone entries etc.

Be sure to pick up Heretic's new paperback, "Why Can't We be Friends." It will help you during this time.
sorry dude. just dig into the tinder convo's, nhl gaf got you covered.
Tinder is a world of hurt since the inception.
Of course! How could I forget my own teammates books? I'm all good now.
My favourite stat story is easily fantasy baseball origins creating the WHIP stat that eventually got used in the real league.
That sucks man, hope you'll be okay soon! Build some Gundam models, bro. It's cathartic.
I can doubly attest. Gonna to meet up with a 19 year old this week. See how she compares to the 32 year old.
you and mike works must have amazing elevated discussions outside gaf
The only interaction mike works and I ever had outside GAF was playing NHL 2K3 over a decade ago
i lost
:lol :lol
For sex it's the best. I've gotten laid 8-10 times this year by girls I'd never have met otherwise from it alone. I've gone as low as 20 on Tinder, a solid decade below my age haha. I regret nothing. They are freaks, will do anything, and gravity, age and childbirth have not yet ravaged their bodies.
Just don't try to find someone to date through it though. Lots of crazies.
I'm currently off it though as I'm trying to pursue a relationship with a non-Tinder chick.

You know when I was younger I thought that would be creepy. Now I'm 31 and I don't mind getting the young stuff again.
They just want to have fun. I'm okay providing that
