Jerry Moonshine is a strong proponents for shots/60, you may think that this is the number of shots taken per 60 minutes of game time, but no; it is actually how many shots of liquor you can take in 60 seconds. Kelowna performs pretty well in this stat, purely due to Jerry's horrible influence on the team. He has trained them to take shots at an alarming rate, mostly of moonshine. The blog at first was unconvinced of the importance of the new stat; but after seeing the team take down multiple bottles of grey goose before their win last week; they are now believers. It is a stat that measures team morale, and pure energy. Though when the stat remains high for too long it can also show that the team may suffer some injuries soon, mostly injuries of the liver kind... and mostly to Jerry, he really should cut out the moonshine.

Since Toasty has been all set on his defensive play since getting called up to San Francisco he proposed to the blog that they keep track of where Toasty blocks shots throughout the game for fans to track. While this covers general position on the ice when blocking the shots he wanted them to also detail which body parts Toasty uses to block said shots. Nothing like getting the outside of the leg to block a shot or off the ribs when laying out on the ice to block a low pass. Toasty puts it out on the line every game and as one ofg the toughest players in the game at the moment of course it wouldn't phase him even a bit and it would make him thrilled that fans are appreciating the defensive play on the ice as much as the flashy goals. Surely there have to be a few fans that would care about this.

Option 1:

The analytical stat that Slip McScruff invented is age points. You take the number of points and multiply it by distance from the peak age. That way players that score goals incredibly early and incredibly late in their career rack up quite a few age points. This is indicative of a quality system that can produce more points than you might expect from their physical state. This is definitely geared to make Montreal statistically the best team in the league because we've got the oldest players in the game and two of them are scoring well. We get super triple extra points because of all the short handed points that our old players racked up.

I'm not going to do the research, but Slip McScruff tells me that the best teams in the league are actually the worst at this stat which is a shame. Sorry that Edmonton and Buffalo can't be the best at everything. Better luck in 20 years when they can age their core like Montreal can.

Option 1:
The newest stat trend to take the Simulation Hockey League by storm would have to be the HDEW3HOGT or HDBGT. This handy acronym stands for Hot Dogs Eaten Within 3 Hours Of Game Time. Inspired by the legendary eating habits of superstar Phil Kessel, the newest advanced stat of HDBGT measures the available energy a hockey player will have at their disposal by the time the skate onto the ice. It has been widely proven that players who eat at least 5 hot dogs prior to warm ups will perform at a level above their normal output. The science behind the stat suggests that the raw protein and carbs provided by the hot dogs are the perfect energy boost for players looking to play high minutes. It is rumored that last seasons miracle run in the SJMHL playoffs by the Great Falls Grizzlies was single handedly due to the large volume of glizzies being gobbled on game day.

Option 1:

xSmiths/60 - Expected Smiths per 60. This is a stat based on the English rockband "The Smiths". It represents the number of times, on average, a player is expected to make references to, refer to directly, sing, or otherwise acknowledge the Smith's lyrics, or otherwise embody qualities exemplified by the Smiths over 60 minutes of ToI. This stat can be measured by players engaging in anti-corporate activity (Breaking sticks, concealing logos, disparaging sponsors, expressing an unwillingness to submit to capitalist structure, etc), acting nonchalant, such as standing around while teammates are fighting, or posing with a dour expression in the faceoff circle. Expressing their angst during a intermission interview, going on a depressing rant against a brand sponsor, acting miserable or inviting pity onto themselves post game. All of these can be expected to add to a player's xSmiths/60 stat. Currently the stat has no way to track catchy basslines or keyboard hooks, even though those were certainly prominent on the band's music. Critics of the stat suggest it should be called xMorrissey/60 because of this.

Sophie Bordeleau's favourite set play is a faceoff win to set up her teammates, the skill she's built up across the many seasons of development and practice. The set play works best when it's an offensive-zone faceoff from the left side with puck-moving defenders behind her. Ideally the faceoff is won back to the LD who can walk it towards the middle. This sets up somewhat of a pseudo-umbrella where the RD shifts slightly down toward the top of the faceoff circle and the LW moves up to the top of the other circle. The RW goes right to the net to bang around up front and set up any screens or potential deflections to score a goal. Sophie, as the centre and last person out, is the girl in motion during this play. Her vision and puck skills means the opposing team's defense has to respect her as a threat to get open, get the puck and score or set someone else for it, and even when she's just a decoy, this play sets up the team's other star player, Tom Pedersen, to be in the perfect position for a great one-time shot.

So the play in question here is on the power play. It all begin with the center winning the face off to the left side of the defense. I think Cheeks plays on the left side though I'm not totally sure. From there, there's an option for Cheeks to either skate towards the slot to try and get a shot on goal, or he can pass it across the point to his D partner or down the left wall to the LW waiting down by the goal line. The C will crash the net to try and tip the puck on a shot opportunity or to cash in any rebound. The right winger during all of this will be a left handed shot looking to find space on the right circle for a one timer if the opportunity becomes available. Hopefully the result of this play is a goal and not a breakaway for the other team!

Option 2:

Matiss favorite offensive set play comes off of a preset face off. This is not an offensive play for Matiss to score on; however, she is the secondary set up man to get the play moving. On the set play, it is a face off on the right offensive zone circle. The face off set up is a normal set up with 2 defensemen up high at the blue line, wings on either side of the circle and the center taking the face off. Matiss is lined up on the inside of the circle. When the puck is dropped, the center wins the puck straight back to the top of the circle where Matiss cuts across the top of the circle picking up the puck. Once the face off is won, the right defenseman goes down the boards, the other winger from the board sides cuts across the circle goes to the net and the center cuts to the top of the slot. When Matiss gets the puck he drops it off to the right defenseman coming down the boards, the right defenseman then cuts down to the goal line. Once at the goal line the defenseman looks for the center in the high slot for a one time shot and hopefully a goal.

Rasmus’ favourite set play is where they position him at the high slot and everyone else on the ice’s goal is to retrieve the puck, control the puck and then pass it to Rasmus so he can clap bombs at the net. Five guys blocking the shot? Still run the set play. Someone’s grandma walking through the slot? Still run the set play. Rasmus broke his stick and hasn’t gotten a new one from the bench? You betcha, we’re running the set play.

When you have a guy with the shooting acumen of Bergling and his brute strength, this is the kind of play you just have to run. Best case, he scores. Worst case, he puts the fear of god in some defensive players standing in front of the shot. Maybe he clips a guys ankle and they’re out for the game. Maybe he blasts one off the goalie’s dome and they’re off their game now. Maybe it’s bar down and we’re cellying with the boys.

i think the new stat that i am gonna make is the GRIT stat — you know, the stat that basically measures all of the intangibles the CBC commentators gush over that has absolutely no REAL or QUANTIFIABLE metric whatsoever. with the GRIT stat, you will basically be able to choose your next captain guilt free — and don’t need to just give it to your best player!! This is very valuable in the junior leagues where leadership is necessary, and maybe skill isn’t the priority. In addition to this, the grit stat can basically be super transferable and can be adjusted or improved over time — that is the best part of the stat! Over time you can track it so you can see if your player has EARNED the right - or FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHT - to get GRIT and do all the things your coaches love.. but you gotta work for it!

Option 1

Mikko is sort of an analytical nightmare. He’s never a top performer with Corsi or Fenwick. But he’s lead the league in the only stat that matters in the SHL. He leads the league in BS/60. Now, you might be thinking, that’s an odd stat to lead the league in. You don’t really want to bs teammates or other players in the league, surely that will catch up to Mikko and hurt him at some point, right?

Well, not reason, BS/60 is actually Broker Sticks per 60. Any stick that is broken, whether over Ben Jammin’s wrists during a game, or the boards, or a slap shot during the game, anytime a stick is broken it is counted towards the stat. Mikko is currently sitting at 3.3 BS/60 in S74, which seems like a lot, but really isn’t if you’ve watched him play. He’s always struggled hitting the net and the stick breaking is a huge part of it

We are hitting levels of SillyStats thought not to be humanly possible. Inspired by work done by the sports blog he partnered with earlier in the season (they were nice enough for him to relent), Abdi has prepared a brand new stat! Its name: xI, short for “eXpected Interest”. The math is a bit fuzzy (he was never good on that except for dealing with money), but the gist of the calculation is that you input a player’s shots for/goals for and shots against/goals against and come out with a number that represents how likely a score from either team is to happen when the given player is on the ice. This winds up favoring young offensive talent and disfavoring defensemen (especially good ones or ones on good teams), which is pretty accurate, he would say. xI may not be a good stat to use when trying to build a hockey team that will win games, but if you’re looking to put asses in seats? It’s right there for ya. Go nuts.

***Pythonic*** · 01-04-2024, 02:39 AM

Artturi Lappalainen is obviously a very defensively minded defenseman, so he tends not to get up in to the offensive zone as much as the other players on his team. His specialty lays in the defensive aspect of the game; he is a defenseman, after all. However, if he was forced to choose a particular offensive set play that he preferred over any other, it would be the absolute classic of a break out up and through the center of the ice. It allows him to get the puck out of his hands and into the skilled hands of his teammates' offensive minds. Lappalainen is known for his good playmaking skills, and a set play involving moving the puck up the ice to the forwards really lets him show it off after he had just demonstrated his excellent defensive zone IQ to the crowd, the coaches, and the opposing team. Overall, he's pretty damn good at breaking the puck out of his own zone.
