Title: goal scoring small sample size
Post by: upprdeck on November 15, 2015, 09:08:18 AM
having scored 3+ Six games in a row i went back a few years looking at the streaks like that

14-15 3 games
13-14 3 games
12-13 5 games
11-12 7 games
10-11 3 games
09-10 4 games
08-09 4 games
07-08 3 games
06-07 3 games

not sure if it means anything, but it sure points out that we dont score when 3 games of offense is a burst and thats seems to be where we max out most of the time

yale for #7 this week to match our streak of the decade..

Best since Schafer was 2004–05 with 11 games.

'06 5
'05 11 (Why '05 really may have been a better team than '03. Balanced, consistent scoring made it impossible to key on anyone.)
'04 3
'03 6  (But '03's better defense led to better results. And, arguably, the D had better offensive capabilities.)
'02 8
'01 4
'00 5
'99 6
'98 4
'97 8 (with another 7 later in the season)
'96 6

I noticed that many of these runs seemed to start close to the beginnings of seasons. (Before they had scoring beat out of them, one supposes...)

And what frustration between '03 and '05. Man, those were great teams! But add one player from one to the other——say, Mark McRae to '05 or Topher or senior-year Iggulden to '03——and that would've been enough for complete dominance.

Pray that the injury gods leave us alone. Especially on a team relying on a few players for scoring, a key injury or two can be devastating. So far, this team is seeing more balanced scoring than in recent years.

An injury can have a devastating impact even if the injured player does not score much himself but mainly sets up scoring chances, just wins control of the puck much or the time, or controls the blue line thereby allowing other players more freedom.

Considering that we've basically been playing with all available healthy players, the injury gods have not left us alone.

They should be transporting Mitch to and from games in bubble wrap.

USCHO article on our scoring. (http://www.uscho.com/2015/11/18/behind-kubiak-and-angello-cornell-gets-off-to-a-strong-start-offensively/)

Quote"We're just sticking to the process," forward Christian Hilbrich said after the team's 5-1 win Colgate last Friday night. "Doing the same things. We're just following our game plan. ... Everybody's producing, so it's great."

From the same article, writing about Quinnipiac:

QuoteBut this team is so much more than just numbers. Its victories haven't even been close, one of the main reasons it is ranked third in the USCHO.com Division I Men's Poll.

How much closer than winning in OT can a game be?

Yeah, I posted a comment about that on the page, but no one ever sees it unless you scroll through all the garbage.

First off, good job by upprdeck to jinx us for this weekend.

More seriously, regression to the mean after a hot start or simply the result of being further short handed on the forward lines?  Combination of both?
