The list of teams does seem roughly in the right order though, to my mind anyways. And it's obviously important stuff. Is this just for even strength btw, or the whole game?<BR/><BR/>The NHL records a measure of this but doesn't publish it. They did put it up on the website for a while, a few years ago, before they even started Vic Ferrarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16425585921916867277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31600912.post-1157589287282950792006-09-06T17:34:00.000-07:002006-09-06T17:34:00.000-07:00SF and SA determine who has the puck at a given ti...SF and SA determine who has the puck at a given time. Certainly removing them would be possible (I would need to reprocess all the data - couple of hours).<BR/><BR/>I would certainly expect a high correlation between shots for and against and possession simply because you cant shoot if you dont have the puck (correlation doesn't imply causation), but that's not neccisarily bad.<BR/><BR/>BUT:<BR/JavaGeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02529258432033746879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31600912.post-1157567534974109942006-09-06T11:32:00.000-07:002006-09-06T11:32:00.000-07:00Good stuff.

That is, is it possible that almost all of the correlation is due to the shots taken and allowed?Tangotigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11053254365298107026noreply@blogger.com
