Anaheim Ducks 2014-15 Season in Charts

Gus Katsaros — Tue, 21 Jul 2015 02:55:24 +0000

These are the preliminary charts I gather for each team before getting into each individual player (and before any video). These are starting points, not end results. Analysis that these jump off into will be within the pages of the Yearbook.

This doesn't happen without the sites for this data:

War On Ice Hockey Analysis and Behind The Net

Lets start with some PDO components.

Corey Perry recorded his final power play point of the season on Jan 30, so I split the Ducks season into two parts, pre- and post-Jan 30.
The results.

PRE:
50 GP - 29 goals – 163 opportunities - 17.8% efficiency
0.58 power play goals per game on 3.26 opportunities.
POST
32 GP – 8 goals – 74 opportunities – 10.8% efficiency
0.25 power play goals per game on 2.3 opportunities

These power play charts below accompany that trend.

Situational Corsi For percentage 10-game moving average for 1 year and then 2 years below that.

The below chart is a quarterly breakdown of points by players.

Differential Charts

Differential charts outline last season's production in relation to 1 year ago and a rolling 3 years.
With data from stats.hockeyanalysis.com I divided 2014-15 season into 2013-14 season to produce a differential. Players matching in both seasons production would receive a value = 1 which is also why the charts axes cross there.
Results greater than 1 signify outperforming the 1 year rate.
Results less than 1 means indicate underperforming their 1 year rate.
The 3 year results have a little twist.
There are two values:
-- 3-years ending 2014-15 (seasons of '12-13 thru to '14-15)
-- 3 year rate ending 2013-14 (seasons '11-12 ending '13-14).
The 3 year rate ending last season divided by the 3 year rate entering last season.
This ensures last season's rates don't influence medium term trends essentially isolating '14-15.
Divergent and scattered 1-yr rate differentials seemingly encase 3 year differentials as the latter converge closer to the middle, with players falling into career norms.
I called these relative differentials so on the charts you'll see 'rel'.
Bubble size is Pts/60

Minute per iCorsi & iFenwick and Miscallaneous

I like looking at time between events for clues. This chart measure the amount of time between each individual shot attempt for each player. Black dot denotes time on ice leader.

These are all 10 game moving averages of goals or shots per 60 in various situations as denoted by the legend.
The dotted lines represent the NHL rolling 10-game moving average for comparison purposes.

Non-Playoff Player Points Breakdown

Gus Katsaros — Fri, 14 Sep 2012 23:51:24 +0000

Part of the analysis involved in putting together the McKeen’s Hockey Pool Yearbook player profiles includes detailed statistical analysis. Some in the form of conventional statistics, i.e. goals, assists etc. while technology has substantially improved advanced metrics that have slowly permeated their way into – and in some instances, replaced – mainstream analysis.

Look no further than partners NHL Numbers and even the inclusion of advanced analytics in the Dobber Fantasy Guide.

Our previous post introduced player usage charts, ushering in an era of McKeen’s Hockey that will coincide with our new shiny website’s entrance into an enhanced modern approach to analysis.

This post is going to be brief, but full of conventional statistic breakdowns, introduced in a post on the Leafs Nation.

The PDF that can be downloaded here (note this will redirect to a page to open up a pdf of the document):

Non-Playoff Player Points Breakdown

This is the first part in a series breaking down a detailed look at players goals and assists in relation to who registered points among players.

The post on the Leafs site was isolated to even strength production and included some advanced metrics.

This pdf is based on various players from teams that did not make the postseason in 2011-12, breaking down:

Goals by Period – both at home and on the road
Assists breakdown at even strength, on the power play and shorthanded

The Assists breakdown features two separate components, as broken down below in this example featuring Ryan Getzlaf.

Points breakdown for Ryan Getzlaf spread among Anaheim Ducks teammates.

Getlaf is the main player being analyzed, with a listing of players he skated with throughout the season. We will only focus on Corey Perry in this instance, and the chart reads as follows.

Perry scored 12 even strength goals to which Getzlaf registered an assist, with eight being a first assist (column AB1) on the score sheet and four as second assists (column AB2).

On the power play, Perry had 9 goals in which Getzlaf earned an assist, five 1st assists (AB1) and four 2nd assists (AB2).

Perry, earned four assists on seven of Ryan Getzlaf’s even strength goals and three power play assists on Getlafs’s four power play goals.
