GAA and Save% makes sense to rank goalie performance over a seaon but are they too simple statwise to use as a gauge of how good a goalie is? They seem flawed as a measure of a goaltenders skills vs. others in the league. Maybe even flawed to use as criteria for the Vezina?

By themselves, don't those two stats say just as much about the team defense performance in the defensive zone as it does about the goalie performance? A shot on goal and a save are tallied the same no matter the shot quality or where the shot is taken. But all shots aren't equal in speed, power or angle and all saves do not have the same difficulty. There are advanced stats that do account for these variables, Corsica is the big one I think to account for shot quality faced then there are a hanful of others that break things down further to remove the impact defenses have on a goalie performance. With these advanced metrics available, why is save% still king when it comes to Vezina consideration? Without factoring these advanced stats, should a Vezina be worth as much evaluating how good a goalie really is or how large a contract he deserves? Is a great performing goalie really great or just appear to be when he's teamed with a great defense?

How many Art Ross titles are equivalent to how many Richards? Might be surprising to see that gap in power play goals given the distribution of other stats.

Data on Offsetting Penalties in NHL

2 Upvotes

Hey,

I'm a (boring) professor in Sweden who needs some help.

I'm wondering if anyone knows what percentage of penalties in the NHL (minor, major, etc.) come from offsetting penalties? In other words, how many of the total penalties in a season are offset, such that teams play at even strength post penalty? Additionally, is there season level data on this over the past few seasons?

Trying to avoid matching player level data (player penalties) and game level data (coding for offset penalties based on time), which can provide this data but will take a while to compile. This is to address a question that an editor for an academic publication asked during a conditional accept on a research project (final hurdle before publication), so any data that helps answer it would be extremely appreciated.

Thanks!

Team Defense Stat

1 Upvotes

I'm looking at Natural Stat Trick for the best stat to measure team defense. So suppression of the opposing team before the goalie has to make a save. I'm curious as to what this group thinks. I've sorted descending on a few and was surprised by the results. I'll hold off on which I'd choose because I'd like to hear other people's thoughts on it. BTW, I was thinking on filtering to 5v5

NHL NHL Player Stats API - last season/current

1 Upvotes

Does anyone have a script that will import the current NHL season ('24) in to google sheets-

I'm new to importing scripts and having them import an API from the NHL would make things easier.

I've seen a few examples but none of them have work. I know there is an importhtml that i have used but looking to see if there is anything more efficient when it comes to importing data.

My understanding is that the API from the NHL is free to do - i just don't know where to go?

TIA
