I am looking for some valid hockey knowledgeable post from this group of experts. |
I'll take the bait.
No, what you are looking for is validation of your obsession in trying to model hockey using fudged statistics. You coming on here and telling us that injuries happen and the better the player the bigger the impact to the team they play for is not earth shattering news. We've known this for decades. You trying to show it with some garbage model dreamed up in your basement is just more validation to the theory from the thread you pointed to above; you come up with a theory and then try to find statistics to support it rather than actually analyzing data to find significant trends. Your observations here are not ground breaking. It is like taking accident information and concluding that children who play in traffic are more likely to be hit cars. No kidding??? Hockey players that play a more physical brand of hockey are going to get hurt a lot more. Players who block a lot of shots are going to get hurt a lot more. Players who put themselves into situations where they take or initiate contact are going to be hurt more. Teams that suffer injuries to their best players are going to feel those injuries more than teams that suffer injuries to their support players. Those are all well known facts. They are also common sense. We didn't need a Ricardo Injury Index to tell us something we already knew.
