Snapshots: Kane, Mazanec, Dineen

July 6, 2017 at 1:27 pm CDT | by Gavin Lee 3 Comments

In one of the latest examples of using analytics to suss out extra information about the NHL’s top players, Travis Yost of TSN tries to determine who the league’s best overall shooter. Combining both volume and shooting percentage, Yost comes to a conclusion of Chicago’s Patrick Kane as the top sniper.

Interestingly, seeing names like Jannik Hansen on the bottom of the list underlines why analytics are such a divisive subject around the hockey world. While some teams may see that as an opportunity for an under-utilized scorer, others may point to his inclusion as evidence that the “eye-test” is more reliable. Whatever you believe, the article is an interesting look into what makes an elite shooting threat in today’s NHL.

  • Marek Mazanec finds himself on waivers today according to Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports, just a day after filing for arbitration with the team. The Predators were expected to part ways with Mazanec after signing Anders Lindback and Matt O’Connor, making his arbitration filing odd in the first place. Though Lavoie did not expand on the transaction, the waivers could precede a release from the organization though why the team extended him a qualifying offer in the first place is still unclear.
  • The Rochester Americans have hired an assistant coach to work with Chris Taylor this season, bringing Gord Dineen in from the Toronto Marlies. Dineen has been in the AHL as an assistant or head coach for the past 15 years, and will join his eighth different club. The Amerks will try to turn things around under new leadership, as recently Randy Sexton was lured from the Pittsburgh Penguins to be the club’s new GM.

    Moneypuckers want to be Moneyballers so badly and they just are not.

    Baseball is a static game with stops and starts. Compared to hockey, the number of variables on any given play are tiny and easily measured. You just can’t isolate individual play the way you can in baseball.

    A guy on Sportsnet had a list of ten bargains from an “analytics” point of view. It was Hanzal and nine bums. Absolute bums.

      I wouldn’t call Shattenkirk and even Gagner bums

    Mazanec was lit up every time he appeared in the finals. Smoked.
