Closing the Book on 2017-18
Natural Stat Trick added some breakdown data to their team section today that, if the data is to be trusted, will finally bring some conclusion to what happened last season (not to mention going forward)
Basically they added more detail to their tables including medium and low danger splits as well as shot spits for high, medium and danger.
It allows you to dig into the teams much deeper beyond simple shot attempts as you can dice them by danger level, but also ignore shot attempts altogether if you wish and go into shots
Were the Flames a perimeter team with good shot metrics last season?
Ranks
Shot Attempts
CF% 3rd
Shot attempts broken into difficulty
High 2nd
Medium 7th
Low 4th
Pretty consistent across all three types
Shots on Goal
SF% 4th
High 4th
Medium 11th
Low 12th
Good sign as they were ranked higher in frequency for out shooting their opponents in high danger situations
All in all ... a team with bad finishers and or bad luck, but they were out playing the opposition.
This season?
Shot Attempts
CF% 5th
Shot attempts broken into difficulty
High 13th
Medium 3rd
Low 7th
Shots on Goal
SF% 10th
High 15th
Medium 5th
Low 10th
This year splits not quite as dangerous, but still a positive as the medium group is strong.
