Simple stats for the simple minded

by Blueshirt in Paris on Dec 26, 2011 10:32 PM EST

I have a lot of respect for that Corsi guy. GVT is groovy. Fenwick is not only a great ballpark but a very telling stat.

But I'm a guy that has probably killed way too many brain cells in my day so I will leave the smart starts for the smart people.

Here are just a few interesting things worth noting.

Goals per per 60 (min 20 game played)

Gaborik comes in at 2nd (might pass Towes after tonight's game)

Interesting, if you look at min 10 games, Avery is 6th

Primary Assists per 60 (min 20gms)

Anisimov 11th
Stepan 26th

Secondary Assists per 60 (min 20gms)

No Rangers in top 30 (balanced scoring?)

Points per 60

Anisimov 13th (Only player ahead of him who has more Dzone starts is Giroux)
Gaborik 30th

Goals for while on ice per 60 for D

MDZ 5th with 3.72 (right behind Chara. Ahead of Lidstrom, Keith)

MDZ Goals against while on the ice per 60 is 1.58 so +/- per 60 is 2.14 which ranks him at 2nd.

Interesting to note, GF and GA when MDZ is off the ice is 2.09 and 2.03 respectively. Kinda highlights the impact he has.

There are much more but its 4:30am here and I need to rest those few brain calls I have.

Comments, corrections, criticisms?

The MDZ stat is a credit to his overall play this year and one of the biggest reasons why the Rangers haven’t flopped with all the injuries to the D. Thanks for the stats.

Very cool and easy to grasp stuff!

Thanks! :)

But one question remains: has Avery even played 60 mins TOTAL this year? :)

Cool stats

just to add a a few more. MDZ is currently on pace for 50 point season with over 40 assists.
While i don’t see him playing like this the whole season, any Dman who can hit over 40 points in a season is valuable asset in today’s NHL.
The Rangers are 28th in the league with 929 shots for To put that in perspective Boston is 16th with 1085 and Pitt is 1st with 1226

The Rangers have yet to play the Bruins this season They play for the first time January 21st. I’m looking forward too it already.
