jkrdevil Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 It won't work in hockey. To quote from the Sabermetric Manifesto:The reasons that such analysis is possible are the same reasons thatmake statistics more interesting in baseball than in other sports.Baseball statistics can measure individual performance, independent ofwhat other players do. And while the importance of an individual eventdepends on the situation, the effect of the situations on the importanceof the statistic over a large sample such as a season is not great.When a batter hits a single, this describes what he did; when aquarterback throws a ten-yard pass, the guard who took out a linebackergets no statistical credit. And the batter who received a single isproperly credited for a success; the ten-yard pass may have been afailure if it was third down with 13 yards to go. Thus it is reasonablefor the goal of a baseball statistic to be to measure a player'sindividual contribution to runs or wins.http://www.baseball1.com/bb-data/grabiner/manifesto.htmlIt works for baseball (although that can be debatable) because it is a game of individual matchups in a team game. Hockey isn't that type of game. thus it won't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
