Shot after shot and only the first one dropped
Basketball analysis and shooting three pointers. Success effects attempts but does not carry over to the next shot.
"You go into Detroit, it's impossible to be over 50 per cent," he says. "I don't know what those stats guys are doing, but they're definitely giving the benefit of the doubt to (Red Wings centres) on the 50-50s (tossup draws)."

Almost as fun as asking if SQ is real.

Just a pointer to a stat. Justin Bournenposted about a "new stat" attempting to pick apart goalies from team defence.
And pointed back to a Wall Street Journal article by Jared Daimond describing it:
I like to go to the source so if your interested the originalpresentation by Michael Shucker is here (PDF):
Michael Schucker has a series of presentation about hockey analysis here:
Finally he also has a blog here:
I thought the stat geeks that frequent this blog might be interested. I haven't had a chance to go over the analysis so I won't say anything about it other than it looks interesting.

"We are attempting to gauge how well each player aligns with the views of the Hall of Fame Voting Committee and whether or not they were 'snubbed' based on how the committee would be predicted to vote."
"On this basis, players that appear to have been "snubbed" by the selection committee include Kevin Lowe, Alexander Mogilny, Dave Taylor and Theoren Fleury."

Visualizing football and baseball.
Think Like a Statistician.
Just an interesting reminder for stat heads.
Counting Words
Speech analysis and drafting in the NFL and sports. Another way not to watch the game.
4 to 8 at 68
So that's 4th through 8th with 68 points. Is it parity or Bettman's False Parity?
The Limits of Observation
Why shutting up and watching the game may not be the best answer. More on the observation vs analysis. A bit old but I hadn't seen it posted.

But everything coimes to an end, and this Avalanche team is looking a lot like it’s a team that knows its end is nigh. The old saying among sports people on injuries is: "You can overcome a big injury or two for a game or twoj. But after a game or two, you face your waterloo if you can’t get them back." You just can’t go for very long after injuries to top players. It’s called a "regression toward the mean."

Nichol a Shark
As Pollak called Friday Nichol's a shark.
NIchol signing with Sharks?
That fourth line center the Sharks are about to sign? Scott Nichol.
This comes from nobody directly connected with the signing, yet someone whose awareness of NHL comings-and-goings I totally respect.
