Offensive Helmet Stickers ( college football concept )

when the team is playing Offense
Screens

Moving the puck
Moving the puck, with puck on your stick as you skate
Speed, Smooth, Controlled

Contested ?
No defense - not contested
defense is applying pressure
defense is disruptive

Given the defense,
Is the skater doing a good job ? showing extraordinary effort and skill

Context and other teams Defensive effort

this is like NBA basketball
player dribbling
player is walking running
has possession of the
from defensive zone
half court neutral zone
offensive zone

NBA analogy is great here

starting NBA defensive zone
let's say your guy gets a defensive rebound
and controls the ball

your player can jog and dribble the ball while maintaining possession personally,
or pass the ball

defensive zone
half court
offensive zone

there are No three pointers in NHL
go for High Percentage shots

NBA basketball analogy

while Steph Curry may be able to make half court shoots

in general, a NHL team needs to be in their offensive zone to score

Your Team

Time of possession in your offensive zone .

start time clock when the puck enters the offensive zone
and you have control of the puck
your player personally carries the puck in
or your player has the puck and passes it
to a team mate in the offensive zone

stop clock
when your team loses control of the puck
AND the puck goes out of the offensive zone

puck must go out of our offensive zone
And your teams does Not have control

so if your players gets the puck back
while still in the offensive zone
keep the clock going

record number of Shots and goals
while in the offensive zone

This is called one possession

Offensive Zone
you have an opportunity to score
virtually zero chance that the other team score

it's a high reward low risk zone for you

Defensive Zone
is the danger zone for you

NBA is fluid and dyanamic

NBA players must dribble
to move the ball personally
during dribble NBA player the ball goes out of the hand
it's like carrying the puck
dribbling the puck

___

For both Teams A and B

Team A
Total Time of possession in the offensive zone

per game

per period

game clock
start time and stop time

note state of the game ( the game score )

For each offensive possession,
start time
stop time of the possession
game score at that time

how enter
how exit

number of shots total
number of goals

treat each offensive possession
like a power play scenario
in terms of analysis

it's one moment in time

___

OZP Offensive Zone Possessions

" Offensive Possessions "

Team A
total Number of offensive possessions
total Time of offensive possessions

total Shots during offensive possessions
total Goals during offensive possessions

regular even strength 5-on-5

special teams
power play
short handed

Number of Shots per offensive zone possessions

Number of Goals per offensive zone possessions

OZE offensive zone efficiency

next layer
your players
their players
goalie

___

then do the Offensive Zone Possessions
for Team B

now you have everything that you need

at this time disregard ignore the neutral zone

neutral zone has little impact on shots and scoring

If there is shot or goal in the neutral zone
or defensive zone
then record it and dissect it

NBA
fast break

long pass

turnover - fast break

Goalie with assists
this happened in all star game

Goalie can score

___

Can we use the Goalie more as third defenseman

Goalie passes / shots

Can we convert the Goalie into a Skater

___

pretend it I own a NHL team
what instructions would you give the video guy

data collection

there is video and a framework with milestones
but need to flesh out the skeleton

then once you have the data
what would you tell the stats guy
data mining

(1) video guy step one
go back to video
and measure

(2) data mining and analysis

___

can we score from a sequence of plays
starting from the defensive zone ?
starting from the neutral zone

___

pinning the puck to the boards
to eat clock

___

question
should empty net situations be used more often
at the end of each period

you need great skaters and puck control

you need a Defenseman that can serve goalie functions

like a Safety in football

question
can we increase the success and efficiency of empty net situations

you need one really good defenseman with great speed
last minute of period one and period two

___

question
should we flip PK penalty kill into an offensive opportunity
how would you staff this

goalie
two great defensemen stand back
two fast attacking forwards

___

using Strategy, Scheme, and Science Physics
how can we increase Team Shooting percentage

you have to ask the right question

___

Face offs

can we increase faceoff success even more ??

___

Hits

how can we be more disruptive

passes defended

like a football defensive player

look at football defensive stats

___

question

can we have Zero penalties

Hockey Prospectus

Baseball Prospectus

these guys want to lump everything into ONE metric

one number

this is a good exercise

but the Prospectus guys want to ignore disregard dismiss
other stats

you need to look at all the stats

look at every stat
every empirical relationship

it's like dot matrix printer

it's like light photons

increase the pixels

look at it all

also the Prospectus guys
Assume too much
then have the Hubris to think that they know everything

well if they knew everything
then they could beat Vegas
and Fantasy sports

i picked Denver
Ma picked Carolina

face off

___

this is an intermediate step

you gotta start somewhere

___

this is general manager
assistant coach level stuff

___

MBA

the events leading up to
offensive zone possession
session

offensive zone ENTRY
is milestone event

meaningful
bottom-up
top-down
it's a balance

meaningful
manageable
Not silly

possession is different
than Offensive Zone

possession is different
than Offensive Zone

this is an important point

it's a different axis

you watch video
and literally track every movement

this will be good to

i'm just saying

as a good first step
focus on the
Offensive Zone Possession Sessions

Offensive Zone Possession Sessions
shots
goals
no shots
no goals

your player
has possession of the puck
in defensive / neutral zone

your guy personally carries the puck in
dribbling

your guy passes
and another one of your guys receives the pass
like basketball and football

if your team loses it
but recovers it
while still in the offensive zone
keep the clock going

split the Offensive Zone
into high percentage zone
and low percentage zone

this is chemical engineering
different boundaries
different system lines

icing infractions

let's imagine
baseball
the only way to score is HR
no single, double, or triple

also no walks

then that's hockey

Runs = on base percentage + power + baserunning

no base running

no walks

Runs = Batting Average + HR power

this is the situation in hockey
there is No partial credit

Hockey
Goals = Shots x Shooting Percentage

Shots = you are swing the bat

shooting Percentage = power effectiveness

quarterly job performance evaluations

the question is
what items do you put

let's say you put team Corsi +/-
or team goals

then the player employee
says ok
what specifically want me to do
how do i do that

the boss is stuck

that is how you know
that you are looking at the wrong stats

Corsi and Fenwick
is doing the best with what you have

this is a Statistics view
Stats guys receive data

Scientists also COLLECT the Data

it's time to collect the data

offensive Forward
defensive Forward
both hybrid

offensive Defenseman
defensive Defenseman
both hybrid

top line
depth line

vs the other team
vs the other team defense
vs the other team offense

offensive zone
face off circle
blue line
red line
blue line

what do you define as the offensive zone

it's like half court offense in basketball

___

it's like BaseRunning and Fielding

Stat guys ignore it
because it was hard to measure

Stat guys pretend that it does Not exist
that it's not important

then they think they know everything

i say
look at everything

and emphasize what you do Not know
and Never forget what you do Not know

Hubris
Humilty

you can never know everything

always be afraid

that you missed something

do ALL Shots

Missed - no contact

Miss + contact with iron

begin with Shot

(1) go backwards to beginning of sequence

possession in the defensive zone
entry into offensive zone
previous shot
previous faceof

when in doubt, just keep going backwards, more is better

(2) go forwards

go past the shot attempt

OUTLIERS

in PRO sports
many stats are in the middle

there are a few outliers

so Rank is can be misleading

you need to look at the real number
compare to the average
the middle group
and look at the Outlier

outside of the outliers
the middle is about the same
parity

http://espn.go.com/nhl/statistics/team/_/stat/special-teams/sort/powerPlayGoalsAgainst/year/2016/seasontype/2

Power Play Goals Allowed = Penalty Kill PK% percentage x Penalties committed

keep track of Power Play OPPORTUNITIES

do Not fight

do Not commit penalties

discipline
technique

Power Play Opportunities Allowed = Penalties Committed = PP G A / ( 100 - PK% )

you need to look at
PP opportunities allowed
penalty kill
PP goals allowed

you can control PP opportunities

and penalty kill

the objective should be to decrease PP goals allowed

___

DraftKings

Goal = +3 PTS
Assist = +2 PTS
Shot on Goal = +0.5 PTS
Blocked Shot = +0.5 PTS

SOG has more value
than BS
because SOG is a leading indicator for Goals

using ESPN stats

January 31, 2016 all star game

used Feb

then in March
start using post all star game split

you may Not need to keep track of salary

my system gives you cheaper players

ESPN

Goal = +3 PTS
Assist = +2 PTS
Shot on Goal = +0.5 PTS
Blocked Shot = +0.5 PTS

Feb / post all star

step 2
go to Draft Kings website
check price and position
and last 5 games performance

C vs W is jumbled

D is easily separated

D are skaters for Fantasy

D and W/C are scored same

simplify the process

you need to eliminate teams that are Not playing

Defense / Goalies is a big deal

if the opposing Goalie shuts you out

NHL season totals
New Jersey 4.5
League average 5.3
Top team 6

Vegas divides by 3
and there is adjustment to payout

options for Vegas
1 = 3
1.5 = 4.5
2 = 6

because the small number of the total
because they divide by 3 periods
because the real score is an integer

Vegas can only do 1/2 points

Quantum
Quanta

Discrete Math
ContinuouS

this creates the problem

Vgs
either have the strike point at 2
and/or adjust the payout

for the third period

the first period has +100 payouts
why is this

but it creates a black jack situation

heisenberg uncertainty principle
go across the board

m

in this circumstance

under is gravity newtonian

over is quantum
probabilistic

m

1.5 x 3 = 4.5

therefore, this favors Over bets

there is a flaw in the Math
you say this before

1.5 = 4.5

it's a discrepancy error

also through research you can make Parlays work for you
informed Lottery with Edge

i still like first period Overs
because the +100 payout

Third Period
+Empty Net

mmmmmm

Empty Net
Over 5
Over 6
PuckLine -1.5
Over 1.5 third period

bonus goals

Parlays
do it

Parlays
do it

it's Not completely random

there is a flaw in Vegas logic about Parlays
if you have a very intelligent picker doing the Parlay
the Parlay becomes reasonably probable
