flyingelvii {l Wrote}: Smith as well but he's not as good a player as either of those two so I imagine they're inflating his numbers more so than he is theirs.


To be clear, you are using Corsi (for non hockey nerds like me, net shots while on the ice) to illustrate skill, but are then differentiating skill levels between players on the same line. I assume it is not Corsi you are using in that analysis (as they are, generally, all on the the ice at the same time for the same shifts). Please enlighten me as to how how come to the conclusion that Bergeron is helping Marchand's numbers and the two are inflating Smith's numbers. I'd agree on Bergeron helping all three - my stat for that is called "eyes".

That's just my opinion (Bergeron > Marchand > Smith). Actually reading my points before spewing out diarrhea could be useful as I have actually addressed many of your questions.

And my opinion is that Marchard sucks and is scottie pippen-ing Bergeron for inflated stats. Prove that's not true with Corsi.

P&S, being a pretentious d-bag, or "Easterbrooking," as it may be, just makes your incorrect application of statistics sound more defensive.

I'm sure there's some way I could but I'm far too lazy. Hockey is a symbiotic game where players rely on others and, while I can't prove Marchand is weighing Bergeron down, you have an equally difficult time proving the opposite outside of the eye test. But, hey, I trust the opinion of the guy that self-admitted in this thread that he doesn't really watch the NHL and has formed his opinions on a 10 game sample size. And solid job of trying to turn your position as the statement of truth that needs to be disproved.

And since you haven't noticed (I'm picking up on the lack of awareness as a trend) I really only respond as such to you because I think you're a dumbass who has too high of a view of your opinions. And it's mildly entertaining when you have no idea what you're talking about.

And I don't watch pre/regular/whatever you wanted to call those wasted 82 nights of TV hockey. I watch the playoffs every year. Especially the Pens, so I can shit on my Penguins-fan brother.

Your false arrogance smacks less of superiority and more of defensiveness. Similar to you false and contradictory self-effacing attempts to pretend to be lazy on the heels of looking up something called "Corsi" to make a point.

Could someone tell me what Bob Gainey's CORSI was? I have searched the Interwebs and the best I can find are a couple of hockey nerds reconstructing his CORSI from old game tape and determining it sucks and that ipso facto the stat is garbage. Can we find some measurable that actually has some validity?

And with respect to Gionta, I am amazed at how good a defensive forward he has become. He no longer has the explosive speed that he had at at the beginning of his career and the ability to disrupt by being a lot faster into the passing lanes than the opposition expected, but he has become an excellent positional defensive forward. He also uses his low center of gravity in the corners very well. They gave him the most prestigious "C" in professional sports for a reason and I suspect it has something to do with how much he sacrifices and has adapted for the team.

No, it's just that I'm bored at work and I am fully aware that you know nothing about hockey or the NHL. So the continued arguments from a self-imposed position of authority are causing me to [laugh] as I type this. Dick's opinion, while I may disagree I generally respect. Guy knows his shit and it's actually entertaining getting in a back and forth with him as I don't mind getting wished ass cancer or whatever the disease du jour is nowadays.

I do enjoy that something so basic as Corsi so obviously intimidates you and is causing you to VORP out your anus.

Oh, and Image

Never ceases to amuse watching Marchand add to his CORSI in this gif. Or is that not a CORSI since he missed? I get so confused because I don't know anything the NHL about how misses of wide open nets effect the CORSI.

I'm going to assume that this abortion of a play had no net effect on his CORSI because it wasn't a SOG

It's really only gained steam the last few years so probably not. And it's certainly not the end all, be all stat, just a quick and dirty look when you haven't been able to watch a player. The theory goes that the more shots you have, the more possession you probably have. The more possession, the better chance of winning since you can't score if you don't have the puck. There are certainly some discrepancies for some players, Seidenberg is one that jumps into my head, that pass the eye test but have shit Corsi's. They try to adjust for quality of competition so as not to punish guys that play a shutdown role and are matched against another team's best line but that's well over my head and I can't speak to it's overall effectiveness, though people that know more about math than me seem to deem it reasonable. Like most things, it's just one data point that can be used in the overall evaluation and certainly doesn't paint an entire picture but it's useful.

Agree on the Gionta points.

And to answer Teddy's question, it was a positive Corsi play as it measures shot attempts as a means to glean possession. Which he took to mean it is the perfect stat and if you have a higher Corsi you are the de facto better player.

My side of the argument is that you used CORSI until you admitted it didn't really work for the purpose you were using it, at which point you used "your opinion" which is all I have been using from the beginning. Socrates is laughing.

This post says nothing.

How do you use CORSI to differentiate between the relative skill levels of line mates? Could you also explain why any stat that includes missing a wide open net as a net positive measurable is indicative of skill level?

I'm sure the answer has something to so with my failed debating skills, the fact that I am an idiot, that the NHL and numbers are too hard for me, Downs, goal posts, or some other such self-important and non sequitur nonsense. Or that the stat is "limited but not worthless," without any explanation of how it applies.

I'll wait. I'm not as bored at work.

It's an imperfect stat due to the fluidity of hockey. Good find lawyer man.

There are ways to measure the quality of teammates (see URLs below), which are basically offshoots of an individual's Corsi, so caveat again with the imperfections. One link is for the Boston Bruins. One link is for the Montreal Canadiens. They are sorted by quality of teammates relative to the team. I will let you open each link and do a ctrl + F for Marchand and then a ctrl + F for Gionta. Results are...not good for you. Fun little site to poke around though if you care to have a greater understanding of hockey outside of Felger and Mazz-esque hot sports takes.

I'll wait. I'm not as bored at work.

It's an imperfect stat due to the fluidity of hockey. Good find lawyer man.

There are ways to measure the quality of teammates (see URLs below), which are basically offshoots of an individual's Corsi, so caveat again with the imperfections. One link is for the Boston Bruins. One link is for the Montreal Canadiens. They are sorted by quality of teammates relative to the team. I will let you open each link and do a ctrl + F for Marchand and then a ctrl + F for Gionta. Results are...not good for you. Fun little site to poke around though if you care to have a greater understanding of hockey outside of Felger and Mazz-esque hot sports takes.

The results are not good for me if I were arguing about CORSI or some such shit I never heard of until this morning. I was arguing about Marchand sucking.

P&S Felger sucks. But he likes you hockey nerds, so I am not sure where you are headed there. I also believe you and I have already debated the relative worthlessness of talk radio with you on that side of the argument, so you lost me.

To recap, your side of the argument was three GIFs and "Because I said so!" Just want to get that on record.
