I am taking my son to Pittsburgh to catch a hockey and baseball game in April. My brother in law used to be the assistant trainer for the local QMJHL here and the trainer there is now the head trainer

Kadri-Lupul-Santorelli line has been incredible. ACC is LOUD for a change (besides raptors' games), good to see

Canadiens Montréal ‏@CanadiensMTL 1m1 minute ago

It is with a great deal of sadness that the Canadiens organization learned tonight the passing of Jean Béliveau. He was 83 years old.

Press conference on now. I don't think the GM should be fielding the questions, it should be the owner who has been complacent for a long time

Tango s***ing on hockey analytics the last couple of days.

 

Needed to be done. Alot of muddled thinking out there right now by Excel jockey bloggers.

 

http://tangotiger.com/index.php/site/comments/corsi-v-tango-when-a-correlation-of-r.98-means-nothing

 

This is why people should check a model's mean squared prediction error (by cross validation) or an in-sample/out-of-sample correlation before jumping to conclusions. It's easy to look at a correlation close to 1 and assume that it's a perfect fit, especially when one ignores the assumptions behind each statistical test (eg. normality, independence of variables, homogeneity of residuals, etc.).

Lol I have no idea what I just read. Whats he comparing Corsi to?

 

A metric he jokingly named "Tango", which weight goals more heavily and shots/missed shots/blocked shots less heavily.

Jonathan Bernier thinks Nelson Mandela was an athlete lol

 

From reddit:

 

"Since the video was removed I’m taking advantage of the top comment to post the transcript:

Jonathan Bernier in the receiving line at a Nelson Mandela Foundation event The Giant of Africa

Reporter1 (SportsNet mic): Alright Jonathan, how important is, uh, the legacy of Nelson Mandela to you?

JB: Well obviously he’s been, uh, a tremendous, uh, athlete and you know obviously what, uh, he means to all the sports you know when you know the worl- the world can uh be changed by the sports it’s pretty amazing. And I think he’s definitely uh got a lot of respect in every sports and uh he’s definitely one of the athletes I watched growing up as well.

 

 

Reporter1’s mic disappears from frame

Reporter2: Why is it important for you to come show support tonight?

 

JB: Well I think any good cause is, uh, sorry (he’s apologizing to someone to the left of the screen, not sure who/why), it’s always, uh, you know I love supporting, uh, any kind of cause obviously it’s for the Afri-, in Africa it’s obviously it’s, uh, a great cause, and enjoying, I guess, the basketball game.

 

Reporter2: Thanks.

End"

The gist is that Corsi is being miss-used by many bloggers out there (true) and that some of the "rebuttals" from the last two days were embarrassing. Running some regressions in Excel without having any idea what they were testing.

 

The baseball analogy would be that since OPS and wOBA are highly correlated to each other therefore they are the same thing and there's little use for wOBA.

Ah I see. I really want to see the NHL implement Synergy tracking. It would allow better metrics to be used than Corsi/Fenwick. The thing I hate most is when bloggers talk about Corsi game to game. Often I see "x player" has given up 15 shot attempts against and therefore is having a s*** game.
