Best Of

This page is a brief overview of some of the things I’ve written that I think are the most interesting/fun/useful, broadly organized by topic:

Special Teams

• Why teams should use 4 forwards on the power play
• Measuring power play structure
• Why teams should play aggressively on the penalty kill
• Predicting which non-regulars will succeed on the power play

Defensive Play

• Controlling play after a shot attempt
• Evaluating defensemen using shot locations
• Should you play defencemen on their off-hand

Draft

• Should you ever draft a goalie?
• What is a draft pick worth?

Goalies

• Measuring rebound control
• Save percentages by danger zone and goalie evaluation
