Speed bursts seem silly too. Is a player rushing back on defense or going forward with the puck? That kinda really matters. The NFL tracks speed usually in context of ball carrier or WR running a route.
Shot location graph. A+
Zonetime. A+
Flames generating a lot of far point shots, and few crease shots.

Totally agree. I couldn't care less about how far someone skates or how hard they shoot the puck. Maybe we could see some scatterplots of these inputs vs. results, so we can get an idea of how much a certain skill matters?
Team X is "below 50th percentile" in this measure, but they're right on the dot for 53rd percentile in this one! Sorry, if they're below the median we sadly can't quantify it. Is that analysis?
