As some may be aware, I've agreed to record scoring chances for the Minnesota Wild during the 2009-10 NHL season. My efforts are part of a broader project that will see Scott Reynolds record the scoring chances for the Colorado Avalanche, with Dennis King doing the same for the Edmonton Oilers.

I should also that occasional poster Olivier appears to have posted the scoring chance numbers for several of the Canadiens' preseason games. I'm not sure if he plans to continue to do so over the course of the regular season, but it would be great if he did.

Anyway, displayed above are the scoring chances for the Wild's first game, which saw them face off against the Blue Jackets. Thanks to an application created by Vic Ferrari, I was able to post the data without much difficulty at all. There isn't anything notable that can be said about the game, other than the fact that it was a cautious, methodical affair which featured tentative play from both squads.

Just got a hold of Vic's updated scoring chances app thingy; I'll have the habs first 3 games up on En Attendant les Nordiques tomorrow. I'm still rusty tough, I think I over-scored the first two, but think I got a good feel of the CGY-MTL Contest. Eager to compare my scores to those of Dennis for Saturdays'a contest.

Nystrom eviscerating the habs fourth line was a sight to behold...

JLikens said...

Good to hear.

As a fan of the game generally, I'm eager to see the results.

As a Habs fan, however, I'm somewhat apprehensive.

Olivier said...

I've posted them; it's not that bad, really. That or I'm not that good at that kind of stuff...

Vic Ferrari said...

Cool that you guys are doing this, we should be able to figure out much, I think.

Starting at 20 games in (or so, and time permitting) I'll write a script to compile the data for EDM, MTL, COL and MIN in csv format. That should make it easy for any of us to take a kick at this stuff. And from there we'll go where it leads us, I suppose.

Olivier said...

That is awesome news, Vic! Thanks for all the work you put in this!

JLikens said...

@Vic:

Great, that sound awesome.

@Olivier:

You're right, those numbers aren't too bad. I guess I was expecting them to be worse based on the fact that they were outshot so soundly in the first two games.

In terms of the Buffalo Game, I was surprised to see that the shots were 34-15 going into overtime. I thought that the play had been much closer than that. So I guess it makes sense that the scoring chance gap would be smaller (and, in fact, it appears that Montreal had the slight edge).

Olivier said...

The buffalo gme is a weird one shot-wise. wouldn't be surprised if they missed a few on the habs tally. Just as they credited Gill with on freaking giveaway. It's annoying, really, how some of these numbers seems pulled out of thin air.

Enough intertubing; it's gametime!

How does one get their hands on this app? I'll be doing Flames chances this year.

Olivier said...

Kent: This post at Gospel of hockey lays it out, but there are two apps;

this one does the heavy lifting for scoring chances in a standardized way.

This one gives an option for scoring chances comparisons amongst scorers; I look forward to compare my and you scoring of the habs-flames game; sadly, I've ditched the video, so it will be somewhat difficult to compare where we differed.

Thanks, regards, prayers and monies should, of course, be directed to Vic Ferrari!

Thanks, much appreciated.
