So Backlund and Coleman are playing harder minutes against better competition and getting better results 5 on 5. Fans care about team results over individual point performances and it’s obvious that those two are doing more to contribute to the teams success regardless of their stat lines |
The most notable thing about that chart is that ALL of the forwards have >50% O zone starts. It would be interesting to see whether the differences between players are statistically significant. It looks like a lot more than it is considering how much the axes are magnified.
