Denebor Milasch and the Carolina Kraken have been working on some new plays to surprise and confound the opposing teams. Denebor has one that he favors more than the others though due to his role in it. Generally in offensive plays all Denebor has to do is pass it to the nearest defenseman and let them take care of the rest of the play, but he is the lynch pin in the new play. With the emergence of Rence Sykut this season, the Kraken have a speedy goal scorer who can excel in breakaways. The play starts off with the defense and forwards setting up for a quasi neutral zone trap to force a dump and chase entry. At this point, Denebor is to intercept the dump behind the net and loft a sky high pass past center ice where Rence Sykut will already be streaking towards the net. Provided the pass completes then it should allow for a nice breakaway attempt and hopefully a goal. This would give Denebor the highly coveted goalie assist and a chance to show off the puckhandling skills he has been working on this season.
William Salming likes motion in the offensive zone. In his play book you need it to separate yourself from defenders. Argonauts use often 2-3 model. Two guys goes to the net to make a double screen in two layers. Third F carries the puck towards blue line. Defenders get wide in the blue line. Forward plays give and go with one of them. They create 3v2 against opponents wingers. And then F3 gets the puck back, attacks downhill and shoots quality wrister. In Salming's line usually Podcalzone has been the shooter guy. Salming is often one of the two net front guys who tries to tip the shot in. But usually Vaseline scores without a help. But you need to have a double screen because otherwise it is very hard to score against modern goalies nowadays. Traffic and attacking downhill are the keys. But yeah, that is William's favourite set play in the offensive zone. Vamos.
This new stat is the ASKFNGbS also known as Alternate Shot Kapture First Name Goal by Somebody stat. This tracks the first goal by a shot capture relative to the first name of the player. This elusive stat is team based and not player based which is actually very regular and normal and should be understood by all. For this reason the best team would be the Montreal Patriotes. This is because they typically score goals when somebody scores goals. One might posit that this can be done by many teams which is true. But usually when those teams score goals they are scored by anybody and not somebody. This is a very important difference that this stat takes into account. To track this, you factor in whether anybody or everybody score by somebody's hand if somebody captures the puck via everybody's and/or anybody's work of the puck. As you can see this is very simple and very human.

If you had to ask the “Big Tree Number 3” ™(for trademark) Xavier Beausoleil’s favorite play to run is the “destroy everything in our path until there’s nothing left between us and the goal so that we can score.
As you can see, this play is pretty straightforward. You just eliminate everything that stands in our way in order to put the Colorado Raptors on the board. We used to be more fancy with our plays but, let’s be honest, nothing compared to the sheer raw power that the Colorado Raptors bring to every game.
It simply goes like this :
F1 : hit something
F2 : hit something
F3 : hit something
D1 : hit something
D2 : hit something
G : if possible, hit something
If everything goes to plan after that, there shouldn’t be anyone else to stand in our way and therefore we can fill the opponent’s net with pucks.
Hope this was educational!

You’re gonna have 2 point men, Usually 1 defence men and 1 offence men, the shooter depending on hand he/she shoots from as i’ve played this spot i’ll go off how i play this role. I’d start by holding the line than proceeding to pinch slowly down to the dot in the circle to really look open for a one timer. the shooter playing a bit lower and pinching more
These 2 are setting up the bumper play where one sits on the side of the net depending on which lineman has the puck and the other sits infront ready for a pass to create the bumper play. So once the player beside the net gets the puck he passes straight to his player in the bumper position while you have the final player on the other circle ready for passes or one time
The last player sits in a One timer position ready at all times to shoot but always looking if there’s a better passing option over shooting.

I call this the Give N' Gone. This is an ultra aggressive shorthanded play that requires one of the quickest skaters in the game playing as the right wing and their job is to just skate as fast as they can down the ice. The Center drops the pass back to the near defensemen and he chips the puck over everyone for that right wing who is blazing down the ice for a breakaway attempt on the opposing goalie.
The play in question is a one of the few times on offense that Nik is involved in. As well its only brought out when he is on the Power play as well. Which is a very rare occasion. They send Nik out there and he kinda runs a basketball type play called the pick and roll. But he is keen to not be called for interference. It looks like to most he is skating around the front of the net and not doing anything. But, in fact he is job is to just move and make the defense just react to his presence. If he does get the puck his job is to pass it back to whoever passed it to him. Again since he looks like a threat when he really isn't. Only one out of 99 passes to him he turns and shoots and it probably wont go in. But that is what he is there for being a mass distraction.
Written Task: Your player has created a new analytics stat for the local hockey blog that you worked with earlier this season. What's the stat, how does it work, and which team is best at it? The stat does not have to make sense or have practical real-life analytical use, just have fun.
My new analytical stat for the SHL is corswick per 60. A pretty simple stat it combines a players corsi rating and fenwick ratings and averages it nicely over a 60 minute game. I always understood corsi, it has to do with shot attempts, but I can't say I ever understood fenwick. Upon a quick google search it looks like it's just a better way of representing shot attempts by removing block shots both for and against. Combining the two the create corswick kind of sounds like a waste of time now. Nevertheless we shall keep it and it will be fantastic. The team that is currently best at it is the Montreal Militia. Some may find that to be very surprising given that they just finished the season with a 4-59-3 record, but that's the beauty of stats. If you twist and skew them just enough you can make just about anything possible.
Today we will be looking at the correlation between the amount of skin a player possesses, and their performance on the ice. We will be looking exclusively at the Colorado Raptors as they are the most worthy of the use of an analytic I will call the Skin-Adjusted Points Score.
The formula we will be using is BSA (body surface area) = = 0.016667 × W^0.5 × H^0.5.
To calculate the points score we will divide the total number of points by the BSA for each player.
The hope is to use this metric to figure out which players would be the best in Skin Adjusted Stats (SAS)
Let’s have a look at the rankings: Points
1. Shadow Fenix (93)
2. Jussi Mutou (89)
3. Xavier Beausoleil (81)
4. Leonard Wood (62)
5. Oranj Kohne (59)
6. Andrade La Sombra (54)
T7. Pinli Switchbang (46)
T7. Supreme Dalek (46)
9. Brandon Gilleyes (41)
10. Trent Wiseman (19)
Pretty standard. Looking at this at face value and Fenix is the clear standout performer. But what about skin?
Skin
1. Brandon Gilleyes (2.33) (Up from 9th in points)
T2. Xavier Beausoleil (2.25) (Up from 3rd in points)
T2. Trent Wiseman (2.25) (Up from 10th in points)
4. Supreme Dalek (2.09) (Up from T7th in points)
5. Andrade La Sombra (2.04) (Up from 6th in points)
6. Jussi Mutou (2.02) (Down from 2nd in points)
7. Shadow Fenix (1.98) (Down from 1st in points)
8. Leonard Wood (1.94) (Down from 4th in points)
9. Oranj Kohne (1.66) (Down from 5th in points)
10. Pinli Switchbang (1.58) (Down from T7th in points)
Interestingly enough, while possessing the most amount of skin, Brandon Gilleyes is actually shorter than Oranj Kohne (ranked 9th).
Skin-Adjusted Points Score:
1. Shadow Fenix (46.96) (1st in points)
2. Jussi Mutou (44.05) (2nd in points)
3. Xavier Beausoleil (36) (3rd in points)
4. Oranj Kohne (35.54) (up from 5th in points)
5. Leonard Wood (31.96) (down from 4th in points)
6. Pinli Switchbang (29.11) (up from T7th in points)
7. Andrade La Sombra (26.47) (down from 6th in points)
8. Supreme Dalek (22.009) (down from T7th in points)
9. Brandon Gilleyes (17.60) (9th in points)
10. Trent Wiseman (8.44) (10th in points)
It looks like the top and bottom of the chart follows the points totals fairly closely. With the trio of Fenix-Mutou-Beausoleil out scoring their skin. It appears Gilleyes and Wiseman are victims of “too much skin”. The interesting part of this ranking is the middle 5 bouncing around.
What this tells me, is that skin appears to be a detriment to a player, and having much less skin can equal a higher overall total when taking into account Skin-Adjusted Points.
The revolutionary new stat that we have started using in the Edmonton Blizzard locker room has been used to build a championship roster and really separate those who are absolute stars and those who are has-beens. The stat is GETREKT/60 also known as Genuinely Evil To Really Even Killing Them over 60, this stat calculates how much of a beauty the player is on the ice, the more of a beaut, the higher the average over 60, the stat is calculated from a scale of -69 to +69. So for example, this season, Evan Winter and Benjamin Surkhi-Ze'ev have both been absolute beauties and are both at +69 GETREKT/60, meanwhile, pretty much every player on Montreal is a -69. This stat is perfect and can not be disputed, I believe the league will take notice and more and more teams will start to use this stat, it has been our secret weapon to building a championship team.
Dan had been a defense first defenseman his career until this season, when Gabe asked if he would be willing to man a PP unit. Dan jumped at the opportunity to pitch in offensively and gladly accepted. Dan's new favorite play on the PP is when the center sets up behind the net, with a winger in each circle. The center then cycles out ones side of the net, and when he does the winger on the opposite side cycles back to the net and the wing on the exit side slips back towards the point. Dan glides up into the center hash marks, and the other defenseman cycles to cover the open point. Once in the center hash, Dan awaits the centering pass from the center and one times a blast at the net. So far this play has helped Dan score 8 power play goals this season. This is by far Dan's favorite play.
