Around SBN: Diego Sanchez and the Dangers of Fame in MMA

I was thinking about this while I watched the Pittsburgh game and actually just checked it out -- what is Wojtek Wolsk doing differently that's leading to the increased production? The answer? It's simple, he's shooting more -- Wolski averaged 1.7 shots per game in the 37 games prior to these past 4 at center, and 5 shots per game since being moved to center. That's 63 shots in his first 37 games, and 20 in the last 4. (!!!!)

This may be a little obvious, but I was still surprised at how dramatic the numbers are. Wolski's newfound success is very directly tied to how much more he's getting shots off.

...and some more stats that wouldn't fit

While defense is hard to quantify statistically, the best stat I’ve seen in the GA / 60 min while on ice stat behindthenet.ca does. The Avs’ defenders are all pretty much performing the same at a 2.2ish GA / 60 (with Adam Foote unsurprisingly leading the way at 2.04) — with the exception of one guy: Jordan Leopold. His GA / 60 is far higher than everyone else’s at 3.05, despite the 2nd lowest quality of competition as ranked by BTN (Tjarny has the lowest, FYI).

Again, not too surprising, but a dramatic difference nonetheless.

That’s some good work, you put in this post! I love reading up on stats, even though they don’t tell you how often a goalie is saved by the post ;).

Kudos on the ‘related’ tag!

I think this is more evidence that Wolski was trying to fit the coaches mold for winger. Good work.

Never trust the lunch lady.
