Glossary & Advanced Stat Explanations

I was a little frustrated last year with how the stats looked on the page and I found it difficult to gather any meaningful information from them. So this year I created a median player and stacked up the old stats (Game impact, Goon Score, and Degrees Dawg) against this median man to coerce the numbers into giving me something a little more tangible. We will meet this player later, but first here is a glossary including the new stats

• a - Average

• FPPG - Fantasy Points Per Game

  • Average number of points a given player gets per game

  • FPPG=((Goals*3)+(Assists*2)+(PIM))/Games Played

• PAA - Points Above Average

  • How many fantasy points above or below the average player a given player has

  • PAA=(player total points)-(league average points)

• GI - Game Impact

  • How much a given player impacts a game in relation to the other drafted players. 

  • GI=(FPPG/avgFPPG)

• GS - Goon Score

  • How skilled or tough a player is. 

  • Lower number = soft

  • Higher number = ROCK HARD

  • GS=(PIM-(Goals+Assists))/10

• DD - Degrees Dawg

  • DD=GS+GI

• xGI

  • xGI=GI-(League median GI)

• xGS

  • xGS=GS-(League median GS)

• xDD

  • xDD=(xGI+xGS)-(League median DD)

• SS - Shell Score

  • The better the goalie and the worse the team the higher the shell score

  • SS=((Saves*(Games Played-Wins))/1000

• SPW - Saves Per Win

  • How many saves a goalie had to make for their team to get a win

  • SPW=(Saves/Wins)

• K triple slash line 

  • goals/assists/PIM
