Not a lot of numbers.
The team record is the the record without the player. That shouldn't be that hard of a concept.
This quick look does Not taking into account the minutes played, the shots taken at the net , the level of the opposition and all the clumsily measured stats that vary from rink to rink and are not validated.... These are the base stats that CORSI is based on.
A win is a win and a loss is a loss.
It is a team game and in a well trained world even the role players are significant in a teams success. This is no longer 1970 where the Bruins went with 2 lines and Sanderson and Westfall killing penalities and 4 defensemen.
I think I will call this the Al Davis Stats ADS --- Just Win Baby
This is a bottom line statistical analysis...
base on the play last year the Flames are a really crappy team with Stajan in the line-up.... whether he plays 10-15 or 20 minutes. Whether or not Stajan looks good or looks like he is trying....
They are a much better team with Glencross and Girodano in the line up.
They did a lot better with the more aggressive prospects playing than they did with the more skilled more timid prospects.
Blair Jones , despite his inability to get along with the coaches... did not hurt the team when he was in the line-up..... The team would have done better with him dressing for more games and Stajan less.
The team was worse performing with their veteran "leaders" Cammalleri and Stempniak than they were when these guys were not in the line up.
I think that Wideman playing hurt and putting in a lot of minutes with a broken hand significantly depressed the Flames ability to win with him in the line-up.
