Last year, I wrote a weekly series on the power play. This season, I’m going to do something similar, but I will vary the topic from week to week. Like I did with the power play series, I plan to mix statistics with video to give a full view of what is happening and why.
Another goal of this series is to try to help make sense of some of the statistics you see, but you might not really understand. Statistics are useless if you can’t understand what they are saying. For this article, I will explain them as I go, but in the future, I may change to an appendix at the end or something like that.
