I think this is mainly because the shooters have more time and space to make a better shot. There is also usually some traffic in front of the net, and the goalie is less likely to be set for the shot since quick puck movement is a lot easier on the power play.<br /><br />It is more correct to split out chances by game situation, so if it doesn't take me too much extra time I'll probably do that as well.The Contrarian Goaltenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03433370306939690205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8148461224473220694.post-56733606510217391512009-04-16T13:39:00.000-04:002009-04-16T13:39:00.000-04:00This project does sound really interesting CG.

I'm definitely looking forward to the results.<br /><br />As for the situational differences I tend to think you get more crease and slot chances on the PP than at EV which is the major cause of the drop in SV%. I also think point (and perimeter) shots have a better chance of going in because of there is a much higher liklihood of an intentional screen.Scott Reynoldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05735545121522530577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8148461224473220694.post-39780246344509661402009-04-16T13:34:00.000-04:002009-04-16T13:34:00.000-04:00Good idea.

Eyeballing the distances by general area is fine, but it'd be really nice if you differentiated by situation (ES, PP, etc).Sunny Mehtahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15065546462546932579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8148461224473220694.post-1610140399928875412009-04-15T13:59:00.000-04:002009-04-15T13:59:00.000-04:00I also believe there is data on those game charts ...I also believe there is data on those game charts indication the type, time, and situation of the shot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8148461224473220694.post-37858008474967449152009-04-15T13:12:00.000-04:002009-04-15T13:12:00.000-04:00I'm kind of thinking that one day the NHL can have...I'm kind of thinking that one day the NHL can have RFID chips in each player's helmet and the puck, with the possibility of gloves, skates and sticks too. Then stats could be automatically generated (with a few trial seasons where they're also manually tracked to determine accuracy and refine techniques).<br /><br />Not that it would help your cause too much, but with the NHL always boasting about being on the forefront of technology, it's a logical advancement that could be made in the next decade or two.<br /><br />Once stat generation is automated, there'd be no more human error and future goalies could fall under the scrutiny of people such as yourself to determine effectiveness and relative performance. Just an idea, think it might have some legs.RoadDoggFLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07969160248430054522noreply@blogger.com
