For the Leafs, some people thought the overtime win vs Columbus about a month ago might have been a turning point. First 22 games vs last 10. I wanted to compare those, and see how that change compared to other teams. I’ll go back to f-test and t-tests on those 2 sample sets.

Who's changed most in the last month? TOR, but not the most perpendicular to the contours. EDM and NSH improved the most, whereas SEA, VAN & CHI deteriorated the most. I know it's 5v5 compared to 'all' but I'm working with what I could find.

Is there a thorough investigative reporter around who can find out more than the team will tell us?

How about when Leafs traded Gary Leeman (who had score 51 goals 1 1/2 years earlier) and got back Doug Gilmour.

Nice! I like the use of team colours.

You could call that ordinate axis 'Quality of goaltending' instead of shot danger, in my opinion.

You should be yelling “Keith, do something” because Brad has to go too. Lou is available. Hire him as Pres. Hockey Ops. He’d pull the trigger fast on Brad and Craig.

Could they transfer some provincial park land to me instead?

I was looking at Leafs' stats, and I thought, I'll compare with a really good team. I plotted D-Zone Starts% vs Corsi-For%, expecting a similar negative slope: higher DZS% = lower CF%. But No. Flat slope. Most Avs with high DZS% also have CF% >50% as well as the guys with low DZS%. Extraordinary!

So True. Thank you very much.

Interesting that the Isolated Impact map shows defensive zone shot suppression of -4%, because the Replacements chart shows [TOR] xGA/60 (Y axis) goes up from ~2.5 without him to ~3.5 with him, while he has little effect on team xGF/60 (X axis).

It appears that Blais is a detriment to the team, not an asset.

So the blue box [TOR] would effectively be the average of the Leafs with Blais on the ice?

I have a question about your "Replacements For" charts. Using Sammy Blais as example. I understand that the [Team] in red is the average of everyone without Blais. What is the [Team] in blue? Each [individual] is Blais without player. Is [Team] in blue effectively the average of the team with Blais?

Since 4 of 5 WHA teams were absorbed into the NHL as equals, why don't the record books include WHA stats? Gordie Howe had 975 goals, and that's with taking 2 whole seasons off.
