Cool article that sheds some insight into how the Hawks use analytics to evaluate everything. Sounds like a lot of it is just more advanced versions of Corsi and Fenwick but it's good to see how the Hawks were amongst the first to introduce these metrics into their decision making, and Q in particular. http://www.suntimes.com/sports/hockey/blackhawks/27179980-419/advanced-analytics-are-the-blackhawks-secret-formula-for-success.html#.U2TwHHi9LCT
Good win. Obviously it was a bit concerning to see the wild dominate a large chunk of the game, but our offensive star power showed up and shut them up. Holding serve at home.
DAGGER looked like it was planned it was so perfect. Kanes stick was in the perfect spot at the perfect time. Kane wants another Conn Smythe. And an empty net. Are we playing colorado?
I still have no idea how Kane scored there. backhand shot from an angle right in front of the net that almost hits the crossbar and somehow finds its way past a goalie who is in position right in front of you. [expletive] beautiful...hope its the game winner.
