Great post and blog.



And yes it's because it tells me everything I want to hear.

Essentially, it suggests that you control play more than your opponents, and controlling play wins games. If you're shooting more than your opponent, its because you have the puck AND you're in their zone (otherwise how would you be able to shoot) more frequently than your opponent has the puck in yours.

whats the name of the stat that measures how effective a player is?

Corsi?

As for the blog/post... it's interesting to say the least. Obviously the games still need to be played, because this is a tool that's merely a predictor, and it's still in the stage of infancy, but it's always encouraging to have numbers to remind people not to panic even when the team struggles.

Anyone who reads into Fenwick more than a predictor is doing it a disservice. It's a clever tool with a simple premise.

They see the Kings Rollin'

yesssss, thank you. all i could think of was corgi.

Is there an origin post for this? I'm wondering where the "Fenwick" name comes from. There's a fairly prestigious high school here in Chicago (Oak Park) called Fenwick that has produced NHLers Joe Corvo and Bates Battaglia, and NBAer Corey Maggette (and a couple of my less famous friends). Wondering if there's any connection.
